Week 36 build here and I just jumped to Final Assembly, Step 9

[vivcal]

Just updated to status code 160 - released to distribution, today (9/9).

For those of you in the same boat (literally lol) with a west coast delivery, there are two NYK ships going out of Lazaro Cardenas to Port Hueneme this month:
- Graceful Leader (departing 9/17, arriving 9/22)
- Oceanus Leader (departing 9/26, arriving 10/2)

Anyone have any guesses on what the odds are that it makes one of these two ships?

I have been watching the Hamburg Highway's movements. According to the shipping schedule, its a few days late?

Had it confirmed that my order has gone 195 and is on a ship. The only one it can possibly be is the Hamburg Highway getting into Southampton on the 21st September. It has also been confirmed Southampton not Bremerhaven.

Awesome news! Your car has been running about the same schedule as mine but you have jumped ahead. Good luck getting on that early ship. Get your oil radiator protection plate ordered soon.

Sorry i'm the same guy but lost my other account. It could be on the Hawaiian Highway. I figured this was more plausible since it left after Hamburg highway and the date my tracker updated was the 09/09. They also pushed my delivery back to the w/c 20/10

The Hawaiian Highway hasn’t actually loaded at Altamira yet due to the hurricane, so my car at least, couldn’t possibly be on it.

Mine has been pushed back as well but that sometimes happens and then leaps back again.

Thanks so much for this! Mine finally went to Ready for Transport a couple days ago. Hopefully, I'll get on the earlier ship!

I think you have a great shot at the earlier ship. Out of curiosity, how long did you spend in "Final Assembly" before it flipped to "Ready for Transport"?

[ruffstik]

Now in quality control so its close to done - when is the next east coast US ship scheduled?

[BroDoze]

Forget east coast! We need a west coast ship first!!!

Wow you are a man in the know! How did you find out that?

My dad’s car was Altamira and it is now “at sea” so if you’re right about hawaiian highway not actually loading yet then we must be on the Hamburg highway! I wonder why delivery has been pushed back when the Hamburg highway is due at Southampton relatively soon?

She’s been out there now off the coast doing donuts (how fitting?!) since 6am. They’ve moved some berths around on Colonel’s Island, probably due to backups… she’s now due to dock @ 7am tomorrow morning according to the Georgia Port site, ugh! Oh well, what’s another 24 hours. lol

Just a couple of days. BUT, I was in Quality Control for like 12 days. Never too sure how accurate these all are but yeah, from QC to RFT was about two weeks.

Ah got it -- Mine went from "Entering Assembly Line" to "Final Assembly" within 48 hours. Only spent a few hours in QC.

Not sure how accurate this is, but I just got off the phone with the Genius line, and they told me that status code 160 means that it could already by on the way to the port, and the next status update will only be when it has arrived at the port and a carrier has been assigned. Not sure what the functional difference is between Final Assembly (160) and RFT

Hawaiian Highway has eventually made it to Altamira.

Mine went from Final Assemby to Ready for transport last night and I suddenly find myself very much interested in this conversation surrounding ships. I'm in CO so I guess that means a west coast ship. Would sure be nice to make the Graceful Leader!

I have to be on Hamburg highway though too since I’m already at sea. Also the other shipping providers, I couldn’t see any other ships.

I wonder why our delivery was pushed back when the Hamburg highway gets to Southampton fairly soon?
