Was just told delivery could take until Sept/Oct for an MY22 order placed this week. Is that similar to what others have been hearing?

 

Yes, identical to what I was told. Based on Pacific West Coast.

 

Thanks - Good to know. Mine is based in New England.

 

My order, which appears to have been confirmed on 3/26 (I changed my 2021 order on 3/13 to a different model ), just got an ETA for handover for early September to the USA West coast.

 

Are all you September guys ordering the big (11.4") screen? I ordered my truck on 3/23/21 and made a change on 3/25/21. At that time build date was scheduled for 5/7 and delivery on 7/2. But when I asked them on 3/23 to change the screen to the big one, just to see what happened (I'm fine with the small screen), it changed the build date to "unknown" or undetermined or something, and the sales manager said they were hearing Sept/Oct for the big screen cars at the earliest. But of course, this was all 4 weeks ago I was hearing that.

 

yes I have ordered the larger screen but in fairness I was always quoted 4-6 months anyway (it will take about 8 weeks to ship here)

 

My delivery (Atlanta, and the ship docks in Brunswick GA to unload) is also quoted as 8 weeks. I wonder why? The last car I ordered was a 2015 911 GTS in Feb 2015. It took exactly 4 weeks from the time the build was completed till I drove it home from the Atlanta dealer. I don't see how it could take 8 weeks to get here from a few hundred miles further away than Stuttgart. I know, I know, "Covid", the handy excuse for all diminished performance these days (I even tried it on my wife when she said my performance had diminished, but she has my medical records so it didn't fly.) But do trucks drive slower and ships sail slower because of the virus?

 

I suspect the delay is in customs - work force unable to get to work, or enhanced screening? It's frustrating!

I tracked a Dodge RAM 1500 from Mexico to Vancouver a couple of years ago and it averaged <4mph I assume they used a donkey not an auto rack on a train.

My order I was referencing was a larger screen. My original order, that was placed on 2/5/21 for a my21 HSE, shows a delivery of 7/24. That had the smaller screen. I swapped to the XS model for my22 which required a new order and that new order did not get confirmed till about two months after my first one.

FWIW I remember seeing others who had the same build time as mine (5/7) having a handover date in June. Might be over in the 2021 thread I started.
