Where's Your G60? - Marooned in Quality Check, Stop Sale Purgatory or Delivered?

I know I've seen a lot of different people posting across a number of different threads about their various frustrations with not getting their respective 5'er. I just can't keep track of who's still waiting, who has received theirs (or is about to receive theirs) or what everyone's current status is with it. Thought it would be kind of interesting to see where everyone is (or was). If you've received your G60, recently, perhaps post your timelines?

Just creating a thread to discuss the logistics, if that's alright. If everyone could list:
  • Model of G60 You Ordered: 540
  • Date of Order: 06/17/24
  • Original Production Date: 9/11/24
  • Current Production Status: Quality Control
  • Final Production Date:TBD
  • Vehicle Current Location (Country): Germany
  • Vehicle Destination Port: Baltimore
  • Delivery Date: lol, yeah right.
  • Total Time Production to Delivery:
  • Special Order items: 4NB

550E
Production date 08/29/24
current location is Baltimore port not sure exact date but 09/28 or just prior.
The break recall has been resolved in my car and now I am waiting for the steering recall to be fixed. The dealer is pretty sure it will be fixed at the port prior to being shipped to them as that is how the breaks were handled. I am optimistic for a early November delivery but at this point I have stopped looking I have seen other recalls hit the cars and don't want to see it if it happens.

I think the other field to consider is 2VV and 4NB for US destined cars.

Good call out, I added mine. 4NB, for the record. But I really can't see this being a boat anchor. It's literally offered in every other market.

Okay, good question. I think it went through the factory in a week, stopped at QC for a month.

From my dealer: Vehicle was produced week 35 in August (August 26th-September 1st)

Mine hit the Bremerhaven port in Germany Sept 2nd and has sat here in the US since the 28th..... They did get the breaks done, I'll just be happy about that I guess.

I think my "journey" has been so frustrating because my car was built exactly when they said and it arrived at the dealership a week early (WK38) and then the wheels came off the wagon.

I have somewhat made my peace with it now, I just hope I have it for Christmas, and I can't think about it sitting out in the rain with it's battery not stored per the manual....

Same. Car was built and delivered to the destination port within 8 weeks of placing the order. Unfortunately it has been at the port for 8 weeks and counting…

It’s hard to look at these records, it was interesting at first, but becomes unpleasant quickly. ToddRGuy , if you were planning to do data science on the responses, I think you’d be better off using some kind of survey system. I think google surveys might used to have been integrated into this website, haven’t looked at that in years. Maybe something else would work well. That way you have better control over things like date formatting and possible responses (like having to deal with with “nope” for “no”). You can edit your first post to summarize your findings.
