Once the car enters production your CA can get a tentative PCD date. It will be a slightly later date to give a cushion for production, shipping or damage delays. Once the car gets stateside either your CA or you can contact the Performance Center and request an earlier delivery.

Only way to track the specific stages of production is either your CA or Genius.

Once my car arrived in Charleston, the PC reached out to my dealer and offered a delivery date 11 days earlier than originally offered. I jumped on it. Definitely seems like they build some extra time in case something goes wrong.

that is good to hear. only downside to this is booking plane tickets which may be a tad more expensive due to short notice.

Yeah, I waited to book. If you can't be flexible, you can always keep your originally scheduled date.

Website confirms today that my Week 26 is in production

Wish it were easier to post pictures on here (without compressing file size or hosting externally...c'mon now) it would be screenshots galore.

Hmm.. That's strange for it to get pushed back at the last minute. Wasn't your car in QC yesterday?

don't even get me started.


called everyday this week, everybody said it would be done on 22nd. OK

Called yesterday and the guy told me it's "5 days ahead of schedule" I thought to myself


i call today, now they are saying it's in QC. And it will be done on the 27th. I KNEW there was no way for it to be painted, assembled, and go thru QC so quickly. But i let myself believe it. And it's my fault.

I just hate the inconsistency, it's highly aggravating.

your car should start this week, and be finished next week... or at least that's what i've gathered.

the car finishes ON your build week.

My car got off the Brasilia Highway in Charleston today!
Monday it should be at the VPC and then head over to the Performance Center. Hopefully I can now move my delivery date up a week or so, will try for that next week.

Lol.. Nah. You'll be fine.

I will definitely post about my PCD experience with pics. I went with Tanzanite Blue with Full Silverstone interior. I am currently scheduled for early August delivery, but hope to get it moved to the second half of July.

Don't forget to start checking for what ship your car may be on. If it's a WWL ship, try the vin under Cargo ID Here. Then you can go nuts tracking the ship as it crosses the Atlantic like I did.

Their system probably hadn't updated on Saturday to show your car left Dingolfing. Who knows, but at least it's at the port awaiting a ship!
