Yeah, the missing lumbar is almost certainly due to parts shortages, not them just trying to randomly cut costs. I’ve also read that BMW cut adaptive cruise from their lower model cars as well due to the radar shortage. Instead of going a vision route like Tesla it’s just not an option on their cars currently.
There are reports of BMW doing this as well. However, their customers receive a DETAILED build report, knowing in advance what their car does and does not have as well as re-imbursement if they couldn't follow-through on their end.
I had the same experience—I'll be at the Maplewood location at 5PM on Thursday! Can't wait. Hope you enjoy the drive up here and, even more, the drive back to IA! Grew up in Cedar Falls. Bless.
I have a pickup appointment for this Sat for a black/black/18" LR. Ordered 4/11 in San Diego.I have a vin and have paid, but when I called the delivery center they sounded wishy washy and said it was still in production and that to set expectations, sometimes timings change. So we'll see...good luck!
Lucky, I ordered a white/white/18” LR on 4/2 and haven’t heard anything. When did you get your vin?
I don’t have my car yet but I believe it’s $2,000. Hopefully it doesn’t get even more expensive.
Doh. If it's a parts shortage then it's understandable but they should have been transparent and offered something as compensation. Passenger seat lumbar is not that important to me though.
I got it on Sat afternoon, about 20 min after calling Fashion Valley to ask about it. I am still not sure if I am really getting it next weekend. The Calrsbad advisor I talked to sounded really hesitant. I feel like fashion valley triggered something, but not really.... it's always worth a call I guess.
Then it’s vary normal, you just ordered. They have been sold out of Q2 production for awhile now.
