The more the merrier, could mean a quicker shipping time.

Need enough cars to fill a train car so they don't sit around the factory very long. My understanding is that the West Coast cars all go by train to Southern CA and get distributed from there to the dealers. The sooner they get a train car full the sooner we get our cars.

Not sure, I heard they go from Bowling Green by truck to Toledo Ohio and from there to a railcar. Then from Ohio to Milpitas Ca and from there by truck to the dealer. Either way it could be at least 4-6 weeks before we get our cars.

Took 6 weeks to get mine after it was built. I am located in the Bay area. About 10 miles from Milpitas. Built on 3/26 picked up on 5/8. Hope you guys get the rail cars loaded up faster than when mine was ready. Worth the wait needless to say! Hang in there.....

Just talked with my dealer and he said it should be built this week and there could hold it for quality control for 2-3 weeks on LBR. Not happy about that, if it does happen lol

I hope it doesn't take that long but I assume it depends on how many cars they have heading to the West Coast and if they have enough to fill a rail-car. I think 14 is the magic number but other factors can effect this also.

On another note I just got an email response from customer service giving me the new VIN number. I had left a voice mail with them yesterday asking the statues.

I've seen pictures of LBR cars at dealers and delivered already. I don't think there are any more holds on them. Why would they release a few and not the others, seems to me, it's either all or nothing.
