Is the factory going to send the paint to the dealer for installation?

Dealer thoughtfully covered the usual areas in Track Wrap so I could get it home to my guy to do the clear bra.






Congrats my friend!! Great car! All is right with the world again!

TYD just updated for me with one picture and phase 3. Just a picture of the shell, nothing else. Car is in Emden

Good show, I am glad that you got a photo. My car just arrived in Houston and I never received any production photos, glad to see that it is working for you.

it’s very inconsistent. I only got one photo earlier this year. Others get several or none.

Violet Ace appears to be in Baltimore, so hopefully some of us are that much closer to getting our cars after a long wait!

My CGTS just went to Vehicle Fixed for Production today (my build is Burmester and PDLS Xenon lights). Sharing my expected next 4 milestone dates as a comparison point for others who are going through a build. I'll track and report if they advance, slow, or stay on-time:
  • Schedule for Production 11/11
  • Start Production 11/18
  • End Production 11/25
  • Arrive at Emden 12/02
Once my car makes it through that portion, I can do the same for the transit process--which I know is a big bottleneck for so many right now.

The transit process may surprise you. My car exited production on September 25 and was not supposed to be loaded until November 15 and delivered on December 16. Less than 2 weeks later on October 8 it was on the boat headed for Houston and got there yesterday. You may get the car quicker than you think.

Same. CP 8.0 to arrival at dealer was exactly 30 days. The one part of my order that went better than planned.

Car has now updated to “on vessel”. I might get this thing before November 15th, which would be AWESOME! And mean that I just might get to drive it a few miles before it gets sealed up for safe keeping through the winter.

🥳
