Flint gray availability - 2005's

For those who have orders in that might have been Tectite Gray, Is everyone expecting a delivery of no earlier than end of august?

My salesman didnt even know tectite was being discontinued until I told him last week... Now he confirms it will be Flint Gray, but he is telling me my car wont be here until sometime september, maybe end of august, NOT based on availability of color but bc of allocation? Kind of odd when Im supposed to be 3rd on the list for 05s...

Anyone know what the deal is?

2004 E55 tectite grey/charcoal
I picked up my 2004 tectite grey e55 last week. I was told that if I wanted to wait for a 2005 that tectite was being discontinued and being replaced by Flint grey. The dealer said that Flint grey would not be available until September.

Ditto on mine. Tectite '04 just picked up.

No more Tectite (my fave) in '05 (my fave) being replaced by flint "available in the Fall".
