Yes, Brunswick, although Genius does not have a timeline yet.

I tracked the ship here: https://www.myshiptracking.com/?mmsi=431651000

No satellite tracking, so once it moved away from the coastline it disappeared for 8 days while crossing the Atlantic.

Congrats on your new arrival. Can't wait.

Knock knock.

That's great, it's going to be a llllllloooooooonnnnnnngggggg week.

My car never showed a recall or a stop sale. Hoping that one doesn't pop up now that it has landed in the States.

I remember you saying you had no recalls. How long were you at german port and what was your build date.

Right, it never showed any recalls, nor did Genius ever show any.

Car was completed on 26 January. Left the factory 8 weeks later on 22 March, and was only at the port for 2 weeks. Left Bremerhaven on 7 April.

Maybe it was actually complete when it left the factory?

Mine was completed 1/20 and i got to off factory holding area 1/27. 3/17 stop sales closed out. Got to port 3/20 and shipped out with you. Hopefully parts came in after mine was completed and they put them on yours soon after.

My Garage status just changed back to: AT THE PORT !!!

It's been released to a transport and will ship out 30 April. Expected at the dealer on 4 May.

Congrats, yeah that is what I am worried about once my car arrives. I hope the dealer doesn't try to pull a fast one...

Mandingo9 · 04-28-2022, 05:06 PM

Do these cars not ship with the white vinyl covering on the hood, roof and trunk lid? Noticed my car was filthy before they had a chance to prep it for me.

My dealership called yesterday. My car is on a transport truck and will be arriving today. If it arrives early enough it may be cleaned, prepped, and ready to take home tonight.

Awesome! Congrats. Picked mine up yesterday but didn't get any pictures. Was waiting around to get papers signed. then took it right away to get tinted. Should have it back tonight. Throttle response is, let's say, more than impressive. Lol

YETIinFL · 04-30-2022, 07:11 AM

Congrats. I have an appointment to have the tinting done a week from Monday.

What dealer options did you go with? The only one I'm considering is the Tire and Wheel Protection.
