At one time I was tired of hearing this car is worth the wait. It is amazing machine. I’ve come from many cars and I have to say it really is that nice. This car drives and handles so amazing from the the factory. I have reached 400 miles today and plan to hit 500 tomorrow. I have been steady busy with this car from all the parts I had ordered before. I really can’t wait for you guys. Just some real quick pics.
@SPOHN where did you get the splitter and side skirts? They look awesome! The rest of the car is great too BTW!
Boomer, my new TPW is 6/28. I guess I should be grateful it only got bumped 1 week instead of 2. These revisions have turned your job into a full time gig. Thanks from all of us.
Placed my order in August 2020 and went 3000 on March 22nd, Red Mist HTC non Z51. Shane emailed me back yesterday and with all the delays my TPW was July 5th, probably to move again. At this point I would prefer a 2022 model in the fall rather than a late 2021 car at the end of this summer. Anyone else think like this? If I'm going to get the car so late in the model year and a price hike, at least I'd like the newest version available. It feels like I'll be getting a used car when I drive it off the lot knowing the 2022's will be coming out a couple months after I get mine, .
I was having this same discussion with my wife yesterday....considering asking MM how they would handle a request to drop my 21 (which is at 3000 since March 23) and get on the list for a 22. It IS disappointing to know 22's will be rolling our shortly after I would receive a 21. Of course, this assumes all will go well with the 22's production, timing, parts etc. Those could be long delayed as well so who knows. Strange times we are living in for sure.
If you're already @ 3000, why go through all this hassle all over again, unless you're dead set on one of the three new colors? There's always going to be something new right around the corner whether it be cars, phones, appliances, etc. I'd rather be driving my 2021 in June/July than waiting until Sept/Oct for a 2022. Just my 2-cents
Looks like it's still holding firm as far as no TPW for Marchies past the week of 7/5. Hope it stays that way and we can all assume are cars will all be built within 7 weeks from today.
All I can say is positive thinking never hurt anyone....that I know of...

I'm all for positive thinking. However, since I've moved 2 weeks from 21 June, and there were others after that TPW when I received it, my realistic guess is that March's will go beyond 5 July.
On another post somewhere I saw a March allocation state they were now 12 July, so that supported it, I don't remember where I saw that now though, look lots of places.

@Kracka Well put and yes, I agree about the next best, latest greatest whatever...I will likely do nothing but wait and as others have said, once I have the care it won't matter anymore. However....it is still a bit frustrating - hence all the comments and anticipation on the forum. Also, really no changes to the 22 significant enough to matter anyway.... as I laugh writing this I'm shaking my head thinking....I just want my damn car and maybe I just like to bitch! :-)
Just read two posts in the April allocations thread that the two TPWs were pushed back by two week.
A Marchie whitting63 was moved back two weeks, but VETTE-NV only one week.
I will wait to see if the plant starts production next week before contacting Shane/Lori for my updated TPW.
I'm planning to wait until next week to check for an updated TPW as well. I'm hoping this week was accounted for but likely will be moved to 7/12. I'm just taking my chill pill and relaxing.

Broken Halo, Space Jockey, and others, I am working on an update like I did last time with one week added to everyone unless they find out different. I hope to post it later today.
