VIN should be assigned right before the vehicle starts production. I see an average of 8 - 10 days from various threads. If anyone has additional info feel free chime in...

Just called 800 number this morning (as I do just about every morning) the car has been released to the carrier for transport to the ship! Getting closer, slowly moving towards delivery to Atlanta!

Just to let you guys know I am actually already on a boat. I got on the Sierra Nevada Highway evidently a few days ago. Good luck!

Katera, congrats, you waited long enough. Hopefully I will find away to get on the next ship out!

Sorry to burst your bubble but when it says that your vehicle has been released to a carrier and is awaiting transport to the port of exit, that means it's waiting for a train to take it to the dock not that it's on a boat. When it's on a boat it's say that it's "En route to the port of entry".
Trust me I went through this same thing. When my car was finished I got that "released to a carrier and awaiting transport to the port of exit" message for a couple of days. The I got an "en route to the port of exit" for a couple more days. Then finally I got the "at the port awaiting a shipping vessel". After that it took almost 2 weeks before I was actually loaded onto a boat. This is the hard part about waiting. Just when you think you're finally making progress you get stuck somewhere and the wait drags on. Dan |

It would be awesome unless the dealer tried to charge me for them.
Regardless, I emailed my dealer, he checked and it shows only the options I actually ordered. Must be something wrong with the owner site. |

Called the 800 number again today and the car is now being transported to the port. Hopefully the 800 number is delayed and the car is already being loaded onto a boat!
Get here already.

Keep in mind though, you may have to wait for another ship. The inbound ship may already be fully booked.
