What Were Your Steps From Order to Delivery?

Here’s how it has gone for my order so far:

Day 1
Placed order with dealer. Was told 4-6 weeks leading up to the order but that became 6-8 weeks day of order.
Day 14
Dealer says car is “scheduled for production this week” and should be assigned a VIN
Day 21
Dealer says “vehicle is approaching configuration freeze point” when VIN is assigned
Day 31
Dealer says “finally got first first [ten} VIN number digits so vehicle is in production now and the full VIN will come as soon as the car is built

What were you told during your order process? And how long did each step take?

Day 1 September 1: Salesman checked the ordering system and saw no P3 available (or Q3 at the time). Saw many were locked. Found one for Delivery in December 2016 to another dealer in Southern California. Called dealer asked for trade. Changed options to my preferences. Done.

No updates for 4 months

Delivery Day.
