Thanks for that. The validation helps!

The best / worst part is tracking the boat across the ocean!

Then takes 11-12 days to get to davisville. will stay there for 1-5 days before heading to your dealer. most folks get their cars before the originally scheduled date (was the case with both times i ordered), assuming the build date stays the same (lots of cushion in the schedule).
Thanks for the info, makes sense they pad it out. Hope to get lucky and get on an earlier boat.

The wait is agonizing.
Ha, Sounds like they will be running down the production line at the same time. Late April would be awesome but don't want to get my hopes up too much.

Dealer told me it's a possibility, but trying not to get my hopes up either. Is your car also PTS? I know they do them in batches.

Mine got unloaded in Jacksonville yesterday but from there to dealer inventory in Greenville, SC seems to be anybody's guess.

My experience matches yours! November order, a Feb freeze with an April delivery.

Lots and lots of back and forth with options.
