Finally got allocation

Beyond excited to get my allocation today from a local dealer. Now the real wait begins. Dealer is stating 6-8 weeks estimate to get the car, hoping it’s closer to the 6!

I would bet closer on the 8 weeks part. The dealer claimed my process went smoother and faster than most. Mine was about 2 months on the dot from allocation to delivery.

Congratulations man, its a very exciting and surreal feeling. Time starts to slow way down after putting in the order (at least it did for me) Im actually still waiting. I put my oder in on 5/13. Im at 3400 Status now and my target production week is finally next week. It will probably take a week or two after that to get delivered, so around 12 weeks. I did have to deal with the week shut down for the summer 4th of July break that just happened and two half shift days awhile back. Good luck and enjoy your new ride!

As much as I didn’t want to go over MSRP, I did 5k over and got an allocation in 1.5 months. I was told 4-6 months when I put the deposit in, but got lucky with an allocation today, thinking someone maybe dropped off.

I spoke to Ciocca today. For July allocations, they are telling customers September thru November deliveries depending on how your build matches the various build constraints.

20 mo after deposit...I'm ordered!

$2500 deposit in 2020...finally able to order with no constraints, and at MSRP, no upcharge. And by the time I get it I'll get to watch it sit there all winter...heavy sigh...but at least I can sleep in it. RTM,HTC,Z51,3LT Napa dipped.
