I was told the same that it would take about 6 months when I placed the order in early August. It surprised me when the production from paint shop to the port took about 1 week only. Looking forward to having it around December.

nacs aherman18 guess our cars are chatting with each other at the German port now : )

You know....I went through something similar. It seemed to me that I was sitting forever at 110. Then all of a sudden it went to 112, then 150 in a matter of 2 days, so I thought it had moved so quickly and I would get my car early. But then it sat at 150 for like 3 weeks until next thing I knew it was at 154, then 190 in a little over a week. So I thought Ok....it's almost here. But sat at 190 for another couple of weeks. Then 193 and the next thing I heard it was here. So it seems like Wait............... Hurry up, then wait........., then wait some more......, then Boom! It's here.

My 550e is on the Morning Cornelia, scheduled to arrive into New York tonight. I'll hopefully get it early next week. Has anyone in the US taken delivery of their 550e yet?

Entering the 3rd week at the port... still no news yet. Can't believe it's just 1-week in production, and a month at the port.

AiredaleDad what you have described sounds right. "So it seems like Wait............... Hurry up, then wait........., then wait some more......, then Boom! It's here."

I'm due into Baltimore on Polaris Highway on Nov 11. Hopefully arrival/delivery in NC before Thanksgiving.

FYI, according to LeaseHacker - 10k per year, 36mo - 57% residual, mf .0018.

No promos available per Edumnds. These appear to be Nov numbers.

For those picking up 550e soon, very curious about electric range.


Thanks and good luck!

Don’t forget the pics!
