AWDs on the way to Canada?!?

[jkirkwood001]

Hi all,

Thanks again for adding your info to the AWD/Performance tracker sheet - 499 orders!

We've updated the summary charts to include the most recent additions (auto-update issues because the data entry form & sheet were added after some data was already submitted).

Here's the status of collective AWD / Performance orders submitted as of today:

Orders across North America:

Orders across USA:

Another summary:

• 5.8% of 499 orders recorded have received a VIN
• 4.6% of 499 orders recorded have a scheduled delivery date

and more twisty and scenic Highway 7.

Been a while since you've seen Hwy 7, eh? it's full of stop lights now

Those are opportunities!


Seriously, I drove from Ottawa to Barrie a few weeks ago - via 417 & 28. That was a really nice drive in my Miata.

BTW, I've heard nothing, no VIN, since getting that order confirmation call back on July 23rd. Fingers crossed it comes before winter.

So still no VINs or deliveries to Canada

Here's another interesting view (column BT in the sheet) I came up with - for those wondering how their location is affecting how quickly they get a VIN:

The locations with the highest response rate are:

1. DC, Hawaii and "Other" are all 100% fulfilled (but they only have 1 order each, so not statistically significant)
2. New Jersey is next with 43.3% of 30 orders either with a VIN or a delivery date (I guess it's not only West Coast getting responses!)
3. Ohio with 6 of 14 (42.9%)
4. Virginia at 40.9% (9 of 22)

The locations with the poorest response are:

1. ALL OF CANADA with zero responses for 36 orders. I'm not bitter. No, not at all.
2. Texas. Texas has no VINs or delivery dates recorded for 30 orders. No love for Texas?

The benchmark of course is California, which has 33 of 146 orders, or 22.6%.

It's clear Canada is not getting any cars. Both RWD and AWD. The RWD deliveries I guess were stockpiled from the initial Canada shipment and being matched up to orders as best as can to reduce costs.

Aaaaand still no AWDs or Performance reported delivered to Canada:

So as soon as I post this, I get a 2nd call from my DA five minutes ago, this time to (re-)confirm which between Toronto or Montreal I want my car delivered to. This was the same question she asked me on July 23rd. She said there is still no VIN and no delivery date in the system, but my AWD "car is in production, and you can expect delivery in late September" - a month away!

There's a mass delivery even happening in September in Toronto so your car is likely coming in those batches.

Yep, that definitely lines up with the fact they're prepping to do mass deliveries out of the International Centre again.

Thanks Tony. Still enjoying your M3?

No problem!

I'm loving it! It has forever ruined other cars for me. I used to think people were being over dramatic when they said driving an ICE car after driving their EV was such a terrible experience. I now understand that it is not a matter of being over dramatic, lol.

Thanks for providing this update. Interesting how they got you to do the financing already since it's only valid for 30 days. Did they indicate if you had to go through the approvals again?

No, but then again I haven't got an official delivery date, which is when I'd have to make my first payment. If the rates go up, it will be bad if they expect me to pay more than quoted in July when I got the quote, or in June when I ordered the car. We'll see...

@Tony_YYZ Did you ever end up getting a bracket for your front license plate? Still don't know which to get so far, after having the front ppf'ed. I assume automotive tape and the Tesla-supplied license plateholder would not be ideal for the wrap. I also don't like how flimsy the plastic grill is, to where the other brackets like the Bandit, etc. attach to. Drilling into the car makes me squeamish as well. Argh.

Got stopped once for not having the front plate on, but the officer was pretty nice about it and let me go after explaining the ppf install.

Hey, yes I did get one. I'm currently using The Bandit. I put it on after my PPF was completed. So far so good. It leaves the area for cooling unobstructed. I understand what you're saying about the flimsy plastic grill but it hasn't had any issues yet.

Skene Design No Holes Front License Plate Bracket ?

Any news about deliveries to Vancouver?

 

[Koflach]

Any news about deliveries to Vancouver?

my car is on it's way to YVR in the next 5-10 days. It's notan AWD though.

 

[koo9]

I just edited my configuration to add the 19’ wheel from aero wheels and my expected delivery date changed from sept-nov to oct-dec.

Did I mess up my spot in the queue for delivery?
