Nope, still sitting there. It's killing me. Status is still 4B00 as of an hour ago.
That sucks, I wonder what makes one car ship two days after build and another over a week? I thought they all went through a QA hold, I was really surprised when the dealer called me two days after the build and said it was shipped.
Hey, guys be sure to check all the seams and spaces between all panels especially the front bumper and rear bumper. It seems a lot of cars are getting chips from the panels rubbing, I have a small one on my front bumper right next to the headlight. I am going to just try to adjust the bumper a little with the top screws like someone in this attached post did to give a little space, and touch it up myself, I don't trust the dealer to touch this. below is the link to the paint chip thread, and I will add a few pics in a minute.
Personally I don't think its because the panels are too tight. My 17 GS the panels were super tight and no issue with 7500 miles. I am actually a little disappointed because the 18 Z panels are not as tight, but I suppose it helps with this issue. If yours starts chipping closer to the headlight there is a clip behind there that is a pain to get adjusted.
Since your car is white I wonder if it used the new paint shop? I read somewhere the white and yellow would be the first ones to get the new paint.

New paint shop doesn't go live until after the shutdown.
Just unwrapped it and saw this. Awesome... now I have to wait for them to file a transportation claim to get it replaced. I can't see myself refusing delivery over this. Waited so long already. Spit and microfiber wouldn't buff it out.
That sucks. Hows the paint? No problems? The inside door can be fixed pretty easily.
I didn't see anything major. Some of the body panels are close together, but no chipping or rubbing as of yet. I haven't done my thorough inspection. Just a quick glance at everything before they started PDI. Definitely noticed some orange peel, but I was expecting it.
Picked my car up today. Was at the dealer when the truck arrived. Only problem is the stage 3 carbon fiber aero was not in the car and supposedly shipped and nobody knows where it is or how to get it. Not really happy about this, but the car is fricking sweet.

That was fast. I just picked up my car about 2 hrs ago. Still dirty because I told them not to wash it. Orange peel is definitely there, but it looks amazing from a few feet away.
After you all get over the excitement maybe can help me analyze something. I probably should post this somewhere else. In the eLSD screen when you start from a stop or are moving slow does the sweeping bar graph on the bottom turn red and go from 0% to 30%.
