I haven't really paid attention to the amount of time people have spent at Status 182, prior to leaving the factory. I'm going to double back, but would anyone care to share the bake-off time for this phase of the saga?

People who specifically order the next model year get caught up in this process, and while we might get our car a few weeks before dealer inventory arrives, it could be by design. Speculation on my part, but the pattern is there.

Todd, that is entirely believable. Maybe mine shipped right away because it was NOT heading to the US. So it wasn't a sales threat to compete with US sales of MY 24 cars on-the-lot, or still listed as "incoming" to the dealers.
