I didn't see any real movement until actual date of completion but you have to take a huge grain of salt with that tracker; it's not always reliable. I believe the actual construction of your vehicle began not long after your VIN was assigned. The actual "assembly" of the vehicle is like less than a day.
Online tracker is off.

That's correct, production time takes around 3 10-hour shifts to go from paint shop all the way through quality check. Production vehicles are pulled intermittently for additional quality checks or pulled off the line to correct any issues before getting wrapped.

The PCD factory tour was very insightful.

Mine showed production begins until the actual date of competition. Then all in the course of 24 to 36 hours it jumped to completed.

Mine showed Production begins until late in the day on the day before my estimated completion. Then lots of movement. Then stuck at Quality Check for a few days.

Completion day is today, some movement on the tracker...online it shows it as "Entering the Assembly Line"...obviously that isn't 100% accurate and it could be further along, but as we all know, any movement in the tracker is reason to get excited!

I’ve been stuck at Quality Check since late Thursday. Almost 5 days. I’m guessing that maybe over the weekend not much happens. So more like 2 days. Time has slowed down considerably!

Mine just updated to "Quality Check". We shall see how long it sits there...

Did you contact your dealer/genius to verify that it was indeed still in QC and not just delayed in the online system?

Yeah. He told me It’s still should arrive this week.

Of course I’m certain someone sat in the car with a sharpie in their pocket and permanent marker spilled all over my seats. Hence, we are stuck in quality control. Starting all over. I should have my car in a month or so.

Well, mine is now at "Awaiting Carrier Assignment"...guess QC went ok. This means I should have it this week!!

Where are you located? Mine was released yesterday and showing estimated arrival at the dealership on Thurs. If yours is still in QC, seems a tight window to get it to you this week. Also, I'd be asking why it's been in QC so long.

Florida. I called the Genius line and they really only had the info the online tracker has.

So my CA is checking this afternoon.

I mean if there's an issue with the quality check I definitely want it fixed before I get the car! Just sucks to be so close...then nothing!

Who knows anyways. Could just be the tracking info not being correct. Maybe it's a the dealer and some kid is taking it for a joyride

Awaiting Carrier Assignment! Updated sometime this morning. What was odd was on the MyGarage home page it said Awaiting Carrier Assignment and if I clicked on track status it still said Quality Check.

The tracker is there for our amusement only.

I know my dealer is closed on Sundays but man I’d love to have it Mon. or Tues. right before the holidays!

Keep in mind that the dealer will have to prep the car - so it may be at the dealer for a couple of days before you can pick it up.

Mine went from awaiting carrier assignment to showing up at the dealer in the same day. But I'm only 3 hours from Spartanburg. But it's been sitting at the dealer for the last 4 days because they just started prepping on Monday. They said it should be ready today. If I can sneak out early I'll pick it up tonight otherwise it will have to be tomorrow.

Depends on the dealer. I'm pretty sure they can prep in a day. They just didn't get to mine.

I've told the dealer that I want the minimum done as far as prep. Basically the PDI and that's it. Remove as little of the protective materials and definitely don't detail it. I'm hoping that speeds up the process, as well. Mine is scheduled to arrive Thursday, and we are leaving Friday to go out of town...but the CA is going on vacation before we get back and won't return until the 30th. So if we don't get it Thursday delivery will be pushed out over a week! I don't know if I could handle that, lol.

Just out of curiosity don’t the dealers and salesman want the sales done before the new year? I’ve always heard that was a thing. I actually got my last vehicle on 12/31 one year and I swear I got a better deal cause of it.

They do, so most are motivated to get it done before 1/1. I was in the same boat with my CS, got it done 12/31 last year and got a smokin deal.
