So I have no idea what's going on. I just trust it must be going as quickly as it can and there's nada I can do to speed it up. Although accurate updates would be nice. They're the ones offering and advertising these features after all. However, my guess is COVID-19 is probably having an impact across the board and we just have to be patient ... even though that sucks. 😆
Thanks for the reassurance. While I know there’s still a long way to go, it definitely helps to see that needle move!

Andddd here we go. I have a VIN!

Hah get one if you like it. I was surprised how many people get pissy and butthurt about people having personalized tags. Go read this thread in the 3 series forum about vanity plates. It's nuts how many people are so easily triggered. Virginia has the most vanity plates in the US -- so it's something we see all around every day.

Hah yeah. I usually don’t and I doubt I will this go-around either. Either way it’s a good time killer trying to see what’s available.

Yeah, most likely. I finished production at the end of October and the ship is just now about to get to the port in Galveston, then another week for transport to my dealer for pick up next week, hopefully.

Nice! I got on a ship last week. It's like the counter started all over again. I felt so close until I saw "22 days at sea".

Yikes, that seems like a long time at sea for the east coast! Or, is that the norm?

I'm honestly not sure. It made a few stops in Europe before setting off for Baltimore.

Mine will get off at Brunswick, GA. It's scheduled to arrive 12/20/2020. It feels like a lifetime away.

Those look awesome! I can't wait to see the color on your car!

I went Dark Graphite. I enjoy flying under the radar as much as possible

Thanks! Understandable. I went the opposite approach -- all I ever get is black, white, and grey cars. I wanted to stand out this time

That red is stunning for sure!

One of these days I'll go for a loud car. I've always had gray or black!

I should start a thread...

Hah nice. Got a shipment notification for my floating center caps, the two roundels, and the front reflectors today. That will accompany my WeatherTech goods and the Dragy. I haven't made an appt for the PPF and Ceramic but may do that when I have a better idea or actual delivery.

I'm approaching one month (nov 13) since my car finished being assembled. This shit is nuts! Feel like this thing is never going to get on a boat let alone get here.

Damn man, I'm sorry. That sucks. My boat is one day out from port, so I'm hoping to be in it by next weekend. Going to call my detailed for a correction and coating and tints appointment soon too.

Have you had your dealer call and see wtf is going on?

Wow, that really is a long time! It's been sitting at port that long? And everything was going smoothly up until then? I assume you're going to Baltimore.

Hoyas and I were tracking the exact same until the very end. Mine took 2 extra days to get to Dispatched. It then two weeks from being Dispatched (Nov 13 -> Nov 27) to show at the Port. Now I've been showing at the Port approaching two weeks. Maybe they forgot to put in the engine in and turned it back around? who knows.

Getting anxious again, stuck at 'AWAITING CARRIER ASSIGNMENT' since Tuesday. Speaking to Genius yesterday, it sounded as if it had already been loaded up and turned over to a carrier toward its next stop.

Is it possible it's en-route to the port? Or more likely that it's still sitting at the factory?

Edit: Nevermind, speculation gives me too much hope. She's still waiting to be picked up via trucking company and taken to the port.
