My original V260 was dated 11/21/2014. I went by the dealer yesterday to check on things since I ordered buckets. When they went to pull up my order in the PVMS everything was blank. No dates listed at all. It appears my build is in limbo right now :-(

My delivery is now officially pushed back even further, from 1/23, it became 1/30 and now 3/06. I'm ok since I'll be just be storing the car anyway due to winter and I have a new lock date to drive me nuts.

I suspect I'll eventually get the same bad news. I'm laughing at your comment about pushing out the lock date. I keep changing my exterior in my head and if I now will suddenly have more months to change it, god help us! I'm on white now, but can't get Guards Red out of my mind.

As evidenced by the lower order numbers, more people do not want them. I believe buckets to be one option which will yield a 100% return of the initial investment.

Just curious, if you're locked and then get pushed back 2-3 months do they then unlock the car for you guys to make changes? I certainly hope so.

They move your date before you lock so there is no unlocking. They then give you a new lock date.

are you sure about that?

I hope you guys that already appear "frozen" and expect to not be delayed are right. my dealer made it sound like anything/everything was up for debate with these delays...

Actually, that was for my case as I was tracking my lock date almost everyday. In short, I'm assuming....

Now it will be interesting to see if other factors are in play to create a "push on the completion date. Red stiching or platinum, full leather or not. It may be red stitching &/or full leather is a deciding factor to the "push."
