just for grins, can you ask them what your current NetStar code is for your car? Mine says mine is Z5 which isn’t shown anywhere. Curious if yours is the same.

Your dealer has a person who orders the cars in NetStar and surely they should know what the Z5 code means?

Every NetStar code list I've been able to find does NOT have any "Z" codes. D5 seems most likely and that would be great news for you as it means released to carrier. i.e., 'bout to be put on a truck to ship to your dealer.

gotcha. My salesman says mine is at Z5... says he checked it twice to make sure it’s not D5. Insists it’s Z5.

So, anyone who’s been through this model year release from VPC’s....

Anyone know how long it will take to get cars that have been there out the door? Do they do a first-in, first-out?

Ordered cars take priority and always have. Your car, which has been enjoying a long stay at the port should be one of the very first cars put on the truck and shipped to the dealer.

Normally, three to five days I have been advised.

perfect. Sounds like it will likely leave a week from now... except I leave for a week next Saturday... which means my poor baby will sit at the dealer for a week before I can pick her up 😩

they better not not use my car for test drives.
