Do we expect this second shift date to move cars up or is this more or less the plan they had already worked into TPWs? Museum was giving me TPW of 8/31. Will it be any different if Mark is right?

I specifically ask that question a week ago to the NCM and she told me that currently all of their TPW's were based on a single 10 hr shift....but does that move up yrou Museum Delivery....that I didn't ask. But seeing as how close yours is, it most likely won'y have an impact.

Probably doesn't mean a thing, but learned today from NCM on my R8C delivery I went from a 10/5 to 9/7 TPW. Time will tell...and it will probably tell me that my TPW has changed again! For now...I'm happy with the 9/7. For those who wonder...order placed 7/29/19. Hit 3000 status 3/3/20....now being told 9/7 TPW. Black on black w/red belts and stitching, 3LT w/all the bells and whistles....and comp seats.

I put my $1000 deposit down on 7/29/19 too with a major dealer. I now have absolutely nothing but an 1100 status. I'm sure my dealer appreciates the $1000 interest free loan I gave him over a year ago.

Which dealer?

You could have made a whole $20 on that loan!

I inquired about the photo book last Friday, 8/7, and they were unfortunately booked the week of 9/28 which was my TPW. Hopefully it moves up, but given I have not seen any December TPW’s I am skeptical of a no two shift projection on TPW’s.
