I'm due for completion on the 17th. I've got a VIN# in OC.

Looking at the shipping schedule, if you're coming to the west coast, there are boats leaving from Germany on the 20th, 21st and then not again until May 4th. So I'm really hoping I get on one of those earlier ones which would hopefully get my car here by the end of May. If it doesn't leave until May 4th then it may not be here until June.

It seems to take at least a week from production complete till catching a ship. I was complete on April 2nd and loaded on April 9th. You might get lucky though.. depends on how many cars are waiting ahead of yours when you get to the dock.

My estimated completion is on the 15th. I have no clue as to whether I will be on a boat that goes to the east coast or the west coast, but I'm guessing east.

Also, I'm on vacation the week of Memorial Day. That would make my week if it came that week or before then. I could get her all waxed up, paint protection done, tint done, etc. I'm not getting my hopes up though. I'm betting June.

Est completion 4/16. I have seen a lot of guys post that their cars are showing completion in the 800 # a day early. Anyone know if that is standard or just fortunate?

Got my VIN! Just called the 800# and production completion date is 4/16. Worst case scenario we have it by ??? When I ordered I was thinking June 1st but really hoping for Memorial Day. Thoughts?

Ok...I've got it all laid out on my calendar. Here's my guess right now, which is an honest un-educated guess, so take it for what it's worth.

Complete 4/17
At the port ~4/22
On a boat ~4/28
In the US ~5/12 (that's East Coast un-educated guess)
Out of entry center ~5/28
At dealer ~5/30



There's a lot of worst case stuff in there, so it could be as much as a week sooner I would think.

I am 2 weeks ahead of you and being in NJ I am thinking 1st week of May..You are not far from me so I think end of May is realistic as long as there are no unseen delays...

Yep, OC says in production, but when I called it is complete.
