Default roughly how long from production completion to delivery?

My car finishes production on the 28th. (wish it was on the 27th so we would both have the same born on dates!). About a month for delivery?

Yes, 4-6 weeks. Once completed, waiting for a vessel is the big variable. The expected completion date given (9/28) is the Friday of the week they expect the car to be finished. Most likely it will be completed before that date.

Mine got done this week but will wait on the dock 17 days for a boat. Ugh.

Depends a lot on where delivery location is.

I'm in Canada. My timeline from V300 completion on Jan. 30 to arriving at my dealer Mar. 5 and then ~1 week after that for dealer prep and vinyl.

I got lucky, exactly 1 week from start-finish for production and then on a boat 2 days later. Must have just made it onto the ship.

However mine is arriving at the Davisville port in Rhode Island yet I'm taking West Coast delivery so no idea how much time getting it across the country will add...

For me it was about 2-3 weeks. I think my car was on a ship a few days after completing production. About 1.5 weeks to arrive in port. Then like 2-3 days to arrive at dealership. Seemed fast compared to what people were saying.

I'm in Atlanta. Almost did PEC delivery just to avoid the horrible drive across town to the dealer, but my clear bra guy is down the block from them, so I have to go that way anyways.

I was just told my car has been completed and it's waiting for a boat to go to Canada - East coast side. How did you guys find out when it would be put onto a boat ,and then track it to the dock?

There are many dependencies, from sitting at shipyard waiting for boat to which port the car unloads at. As example, my .2 finished production 9/18 (last year), went through Houston port and delivered to my mid-west dealer Nov 4.

My car is at the port of Emden as of 10/4. The tracking information says its expected to leave on 10/25. Do they typically sit at the port for 3 weeks? I know these are just estimates but that seems like a long time. Maybe they are just being conservative.

My car was completed on 9/21/18. Loaded on the ship on 10/1 (Goodwood) and should arrive in Rhode Island on 10/11, then to Jax to unload my car. Expecting delivery on 10/18. Less than a month after the build date. Timing is everything.

Mine was completed 9/28 and was also put on the Goodwood 10/1. Goodwood was averaging a bit over 15 knots last I checked. Will I get to put Hoosiers on it for our last autocross November 4?
