Interesting (and disappointing) conversation with my DS today. Despite the fact that my MX 90D entered production in late March, it continues to sit in "factory gate" status in Fremont, which is exactly the same status that's been reported for four weeks now. I would have expected it to be in transit to Massachusetts a long time ago.
Not sure whether this is just the company line, but he said that there has been a slowing of cars through the pipeline in the last couple of weeks, "because we need to make certain that every car is as current as possible with the latest engineering". And then he cited the seat recall as an example of another engineering item that held up deliveries a couple of months ago.
I really don't know whether he knew something about a change that's coming about, or whether this is just what they say when there is an inexplicable delay. I see other deliveries being made, and it has me worried that there was some kind of testing fail on my particular vehicle that caused a substantial re-work.
Has anyone else seen a "factory gate" hold for four weeks after production? Any ideas?
@BizJet im a Mass reservation holder that just test drove the X today in Dedham. 75D order, fully loaded and no VIN. This was the first time i visited Dedham in 2 months and the entire lot was filled with cars. About 20-25 X's, the rest S's. But mostly X's, every spot was filled and I had to park in a handicap spot. Many had covers over certain areas and were being worked on. There's clearly some backlog here and this may explain why they haven't shipped yours yet. There's a forum on here I started titled "air suspension required for 6/7 seats, what about 75D orders?". Check out the latest post I recently put on their with a ton of info that you'll want to know that I learned. I hope that they will produce my 75D real quick and ship it with yours, but since I don't have a Vin it's unlikely, however this info is very relevant to your situation regardless. In addition, they say they get trucks with cars every few days. Let me know if you've heard anything interesting, thanks!
