Well, I sort of hate to post this knowing how many of you ordered back in April or May and still have not received your vehicle, but things seem to be moving along pretty quickly for my build! I signed my build sheet and paid my $500 deposit on 10/7. I got a VIN on 10/11, and on 10/20 my salesman sent an email that I have an estimated ship date of 10/30. Unfortunately, I didn't see the email until 11/5 and quickly made a $100 donation to Tread Lightly to hopefully be able to negotiate affiliate pricing when it gets here. I called the concierge tonight just to see if what they say matches up with my salesman.
The lady I got on the phone with the concierge was extremely nice, no doubt US-based, and told me that as of today 11/10 I had a status change to KZ, waiting for transport. It sounds like it has passed all inspections and is parked and waiting to be loaded onto a train. I ordered a Black on Balck Series II 4x4 with every package but the Rear-Seat Entertainment, I also passed on the passenger interactive display. The specific packages I have are the Convenience group, premium group, advanced all-terrain group, heavy-duty trailer-tow, and 2nd-row seating group.
I'm just blown away by the current status considering it has only been a few days past one month since I placed the order. This is making me wonder if the Rear-Seat Entertainment group and passenger interactive display is the cause of a lot of the delays others are having. It would make sense knowing that electronics and computer chips have been a major source of supply chain issues.
I will post more updates as my order progresses and more importantly how my price negotiation goes. As it stands my MSRP sale price is $83,615. Hopefully, I receive my Tread Lightly packet in time before it gets here so I can possibly get the 1% below invoice.
