Bit like the 15 you have been in previously 😉

Hope this is the last one for you and the other inmates here 👍

Exactly!

Ugh. Are you currently week 45?

Yeah I have been sitting here on week 45 for a couple weeks now. I was wondering what happened when several of you leapt to week 49. I figured I would either be bumped to join you or you would be pulled back. Glad you were pulled back. If I am right in that those of you with lower production numbers will get built first, then I want your car built ASAP and get the hell out of the way for mine to be built!

Hopefully they'll just build both!

Me too I’ve joined, what’s really frustrating about that is there are a few other uk orders who ordered months later who’s cars are being built, it would really great to finally get into production instead of staying at status 112 for coming up 6 months now, I know some are worse than me but it is still not nice keep being bumped. Hopefully now I have said this it may just get built next week!

If the poll responses are to be believed, we have 22 cars currently scheduled for week 45, which is quite high (in comparison), with 16 being m50's. We'll probably gain a few more after bump Thursday as well. Doesn't give me a good feeling.

Just got a vin this morning and notice that production begins! They must be running ahead of schedule—finally.

So you're not week 45. But that's great!

Right! Yesterday Genius still had me at Week 45 but guess that changed.

If they're going to have a batch of SRG open, they could just do mine too, right????

 

[SDB]

Don’t forget mine, it doesn’t even have any packages so no extra chips required!

Same got bumped today from week 44…sigh.

Still trying to figure out some rhyme or reason for the queue. One thing I do know, you have a lower production number, but made you reservation much later than me... so date of pre-order really doesn't mean anything. So then you think that maybe the sequential production number dictates where you fall... but then Poison has a production number near mine, #6803*** I believe, but he got his VIN just a few days ago. Could it be tied to the DATE you got your production number or must be purely based on dealership allocation and within dealership the queue as described actually is true.

Is the only way to find out your production status and scheduled production week to call the genius hotline (and if so, how long have you had to wait on hold)? I called once and was transferred to the "electric car dept" with a hold time of 20+ mins. Are you guys calling daily? Thanks!

Good luck. My reservation number is 6778###, assigned to me in late July. I ordered Jan 3, 2023. It was a canceled res.

You can get your production status from mygarage. Scheduled production week comes from the genius hotline (or email as ssh posted). Personally, I typically call once a week (Thursday afternoon or Friday morning), because that's when the bumps usually happen. Or I'll call if I see my status code change (like yesterday it went back to 112 from 111, so I called, and my build week had moved again, so I won't bother calling the rest of this week).

Well, look at that! I'm now 150 and have a VIN. Prod date is still 11/07 so things are looking up.

Thank you!!! They'll provide both scheduled build week and production status?
