So it’s been mentioned in many posts, but does anyone know what the delay in shipping from Mexico has been. Also stop ship and QA related like the cars at Speedway? Covid shipping issues? My car is literally just sitting there like a month.

Multiple quality checks are done before it is released. They may have found an issue that requires correction (for example paint damage or a misaligned body panel).

Or yours is just stuck waiting for planes, trains, and other people's automobiles.

(OK, no planes... but I do wish they'd just drop ship mine from the factory to my house via S-64 Skycrane.

Getting enough train cars down there and back. The Cuautitlan plant is still working to clear out the backlog.

What's your build date?

Mine sat for 2 months before shipping.

Did your status change back to “in production”? There seems to be an elite few of us who are stuck in this situation.
Not sure over the last few weeks. I haven’t really checked myself and chat with my awesome salesperson whenever there’s a status change or every few weeks (honestly, best ever sales and dealer!).

My Route 1 is still at plant build date 12/ 17 / 20 status awaiting shipping ETA March 24th
At least it’s awaiting shipment. That’s a positive sign. Mine was awaiting shipment with an ETA of 3/23, but now it’s back to “in production” with the ETA reset back to 1/1/1990.

Really feels like they’re still doing a much broader qa check like Speedway but down in Mexico.

If you have your VIN, you can use the tracker at the top of the forum to check your status. If it’s “awaiting shipment”, it should have an ETA. If it switched back to “in production” then you‘re pretty much out of luck.

Still had a 2/15 eta awaiting shipment.
