MY guess is 2-3 weeks after your VIN is assigned it will be made and it is probably going through the factory that entire time but they just update the website at the very end.

The online tracker isn’t accurate. My best info came from my sales rep. They can look it up and tell you the correct status. I texted my sales rep during the process, which is a lot easier than playing telephone tag.

Also, the car gets built within a day once they start it. Then sometimes they sit in QA for a while, but often not.

My biggest delay was delivery. Took more than a week from being loaded on the truck to delivery to my dealer in Delaware. About a 10-hour drive. Unfortunately the dealer can NOT track the transport vehicle.

Once delivered they detail the car so that adds at least another day or two.

Try to memorize the manual. It will take your mind off waiting for your car.
