Normal delivery time to California
My custom order F30 should be available for pickup tomorrow. I have seen posts with horrible delays and cars sitting at the port or VPC for a long time, so I thought I would post a timeline where nothing bad happened. Please note I had no special colors and no port installed options. Either of these factors would affect things. The dealer had an allocation and there were no parts delays.
July 7 placed order with a deposit - I immediately got a production number July 18 Started production July 24 Body shop, paint shop July 25 Assembly, production done July 26 Factory released, waiting for transportation to port July 30 At port August 5 Ship leaves Bremerhaven August 19 East coast, US - Baltimore September 4 West Coast, U.S. - Port Hueneme (after going through canal) September 6 Released from VPC, having cleared Customs, loaded on truck September 7 Gets to dealer, also in California September 8 (hopefully) picked up The only delay was one day spent anchored off northern Mexico, rather than docking at port on Labor day holiday Even though it went normally, the wait is still stressful. Adding to my stress was the fact that I sold my previous car (F32) early in the process and needed to share my wife's Prius |
