I'm in transit now as well, so we're probably all on the same boat.

i had wondered, who'd get their car first, you in Seattle, or me in New England... given the similar travel distance.. it looks like you win, although my ship may leave tomorrow.. so who know

Urs still say ready for transport? Same, but mine shouldve been at the port days ago. Maybe it hasn't updated?

I’ve been mostly tracking on the web, but occasionally calling the genius line. They haven’t had a single different update for me aside from what the web tracker shows though, so it’s been pretty useless to call.

Yes I been using bmw USA mostly but I text my ca every once in a while and seems there’s is most accurate up to date, my guy usual takes a pic of his computer screen and texts it to me,the web seems to be behind and genius seems to have same info as the web

Interesting. My CA has been pretty useless about responding to me.

That’s around how long mine sat in “entering assembly”. At least you’re painted and ready to hit the line soon though.

Beamer dreamer has yours moved yet, mine is still ready for transport- east coast too, actually Performance Center Delivery but live in DC.

i'm still "ready to transport" the ship glovis captain is still at the Altamira port, and from there i'm guessing it'll go to Vera Cruz.... i believe we need to get on that boat if we want to see our cars in the month of April

[beamer-dreamer]

i'm actually curious how the status change happens.. do they literally scan each car as it's loaded onto the boat? or when the boat leaves the port, will they adjust the status to "in transit" ... or maybe my car is at Vera Cruz, and it hasn't been even loaded yet... so many questions.. and no real way to get satisfying answers

Mine didn't get change status until it got on the boat. so it went from Ready for transport to in transit.

Im in the same position as both of yall. Been in "ready to transport" for over 2 weeks. We should know by today or tomorrow what boat we are on

My CA told me "Ready for Transport" means it has not left the factory. Genius doesn't know. I am in the same situation. The next boat for me is 3+ weeks away. Hope for good news for the East Coasters. You guys have a much longer boat ride. I guess the donkey drawn car carriers take a while to get to the port.

i hear ya,.. it just looks like the people who've posted timelines see to indicated they got from"ready to transport" directly to "in transit" without actually seeing the intermediate steps... similar to how the build process seemed to skip steps as well.

we may never really know.. the last update my CA gave me was that the car was "dispatched from the factory" and that was almost 2 weeks ago.. but i don't put a lot of stock into CA interpretations of the codes

The car is probably just sitting with others waiting for the next ship to get on. Mine sat in ready for transport for about 2 weeks as well.

Finally entered the production queue. Vin assigned. Now the process begins as to how rapidly the actual vehicle assembly takes. I was scheduled for week 14, so I guess I'm a few weeks early. Hoping for no delays.

[marcsg42]

Moved to quality check 😃

[marcsg42]

Still hoping I make this boat up the east coast ,it’s still there right?
