I see a lot of activity from users that have cars and are either boasting or complaining of their experiences, but nobody seems to acknowledge that there are still a few of us that have low res numbers (4367) and still have not seen our cars. I am at 16 months and still wating, am I the exception?

What date did you place your order (i.e., convert the reservation to an order)? That seems to have a significant impact on delivery date.

I converted my res to an order on June 27, 202. So, that seems to have had no impact on my delivery. Many that have been delivered have later "Order Dates". I think Quality Stop Ships may have been a bigger issue but am interested if I am the exception or the general rule.

You have company, both foreign and domestic.

Here’s one:

I’m at 14 months now. My car is enroute though. ETA is May 10.

Shipping to Hawaii is likely as long as shipping to the EU

My dates were exactly the same as yours but I just received my car at the end of February. Hang in there, it's worth the wait. I was getting pretty frustrated waiting so I certainly understand your frustration. Not sure why so many later orders are jumping ahead of the line--except for the flushing out and fixing early issues. Good luck.

I ordered mine on reveal night (6xxx) and produced in December so your not alone. I think I will get mine in 1-2 weeks. It sat in speedway for over a month.

Oddly enough there are reservations that came in after Summer 2020 already receiving. Ones that didn't even pre-reserve.

Very strange the order of build date vs reservation.

Yes, apparently the best way to guarantee an early delivery was not the reservation approach. My observation is that a better approach was to speak with one of the mega-dealers and agree to an ADM. The res/order system did not get any special attention from the production side of the business. The big dealerships have pull with them.
