I'm pretty beat now - 2020 comes at me again. I just don't understand how/why I have such a late build date. I reserved literally as the announcement happened, and converted ASAP to an order. Meanwhile folks with much higher reservation numbers/dates and Premiums are getting quicker build dates.

Also build date does not equal ship or delivery date. What if all builds in December ship out within 1-2 days of each other? Actual build date wouldn’t really matter then.

I know it isn't your fault - but it certainly pisses me off that you get a build date a week before me, and reserved a week after me.

What is the general guesstimate of delivery based on build date? 2..3..4 weeks? F...me, I might be out of town. :oops:?

You may want to check with your tax accountant. If you have the VIN/order for this year, you might be able to get it to show this year even if delivery isn't until next year.
Yes! My dealer emailed back and said that it may be possible to do paperwork before delivery.
