OKTB delay is no big deal...I suspect the assembly line is still moving, cars are still being produced. It’ll affect the small number of initial deliveries I suppose but is just a minor blip.

I think they so far are doing a fantastic job and will speculate it is no where close to business as usual. There is only one thing they need to get right, for a success story, and it is not getting us our MME on time or a week earlier. I thought OKTB was a none public window? No pressure at this end. I am buying for green and will have patience. So this month 11/30 gr8! Stay smart and stay safe.

Are there a couple cars from members of this forum that have already been produced and are now sitting on the lot waiting for the rest and OKTB?

If I were still sweating a 2020 delivery for a $1500 tax credit (like I was when I ordered), I'd be bummed at the news. But that ship sailed for me when my FE got a Jan 4 build date. Since it's gonna be 2021 anyway, I'd rather they take the extra time to make sure it's all correct.

In fact, with shrinking chances for any 2020 deliveries, I'm kinda glad I'm not one of the first builds now.

you are assuming the line is still/will be moving. COVID is not going quietly

who is the Vietnam vet in the pic you have?
That is ME extracting a "wisdom" tooth for a soldier in the field. I am a Vietnam Era Vet in that I served in “The Big Red One” (see me holding up a bloody finger showing "Big Red One"; this was before AIDS and universal precautions, gloves, masks, etc.) from 1973 to 1975 (commissioned a Second Lieutenant in 1971 during Dental School). After active duty I was in Inactive Reserves until 1978 when I was Honorably Discharged. I was in B Company First Medical Battalion as a Captain in the Army Dental Corps. The Sergeant pictured with me could have been a Vietnam Era Vet too but I can’t remember him specifically. We were pictured during a field exercise at Fort Riley KS in late summer 1974 and went to Germany in September for “REFORGER ’74 - Operation Certain Pledge”. I know many in my high school and college classes were drafted and served in theater. Some never came back. It was a bad time to serve when I did as we were told NEVER to wear our uniform off post because they were afraid of how we would be treated. I never got over feeling ashamed of my service until I went to a Veterans Day program at my Grandson’s elementary school in 2010. At that ceremony they led us into the gym and all the children were on their feet clapping and saying “Thank You”. I cried like a baby for hours after that! Noboby ever cheered for us or thanked us for our service! It was even worse for the vets serving in the war. Sorry to ramble but you struck a chord in me. Were you a Vietnam Veteran?

Thank you for your service. I'm truly sorry it wasn't appreciated at the time.
