Congrats. It's pretty hard to figure out how much longer. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. When you have the car you forget you even waited.

This a guesstimate, but it seems that most people will get a build date about 3-4 weeks out. Then it should average about 2 weeks from build date to delivery. Remember that this is usually best case scenario, i.e. the car is not quality tested, etc. In all, it is likely the window will be 5-8 weeks, with somewhere in the middle being the average.

Probably. It is hard to tell until you get a build week sometime next week.

the thing that stinks the most is that i live in dearborn, Mi and wish I could just get the car off the line and drive her home.......but instead i have to wait another week or 2 until it gets to the dealer.

Maybe you can go to the holding lot, peek through to try to find her, and wave to her at least?

Congratulations, it won't be long now!! I'm assuming since the ERL is on vacation, your dealer called you?

DON'T DO IT ! GET A GRIP ON YOURSELF MAN. Wait it out, be strong. You can do it. Think about the mods, get a die cast, look for pictures, the days will pass and soon the warm summer humid breezes will be flowing and you'll be driving your car...........

I think they are building your car for me Rags. Got my VIN 3 weeks ago.....build date week of 4 April. Should have it by the end of April. ALmost 12 weeks, which is what the dealer told me to expect.
