Status 154 - Assembly

Almost completed!!!

I didn't see the 154 status in the production number sticky thread. Might want to add it there. Searched for the actual meaning as listed above.

It's OK. Saw a review of M-DCT on another thread and it sounds like it will be everything that I hoped for.

Yes, I know you are better than me. j/k

I really thought my car could get on a boat by the 25th, now I am not so sure. It was noted that my car went into production early last friday, but no real movement until Mon night/Tues morn.

I need to get this car so I can move forward with my life.

Automated system tells me the car is being transported to the port of exit. Although, the CA said they didn't see any updates yet today. Usually the automated part is a little behind.

Just hoping it can get on a ship by the 25th.

Let's hope the port doesn't have a long weekend.

Well, my car is officially lost.
Automated system has been saying my car was on the way to the port of exit since last Friday.
The hotline rep said there was an update in there today that my car finished production today, March 25. The damn car entered production on March 14.
12 days for production?!?!?!?!

Perhaps by the end of the week, things will become more clear. The automated system better be right.

I was told by a rep yesterday that the automated system was more accurate/updated faster than their system they could check. Who really knows.

I can tell from experience that the above statement is false unless they changed something within the past 2 weeks. I'd call back until I reach a rep who seems to know what he/she is talking about. Or better yet, call your dealer. He should be able to pointpoint things.

It was probably delayed at quality control--meaning something had to be redone/fixed. When everything goes smoothly, it should take about 6 days to build.

This is annoying. Sorry...

Well, when it went into production the estimated finish date was the 24/25. Everyone said it only takes ~ four days to build.

I remember that now. In that case, maybe they were anticipating a delay due to the availability of a component such as the wheels. OR, you ordered your car with the optional F1 engine?
