Without knowing exactly what was going on, it seemed to be very closely tied to a factory push to get quarterly delivery numbers up. The same with the S. It never made a lot of sense to me, but reading this forum for 3 years, that's how it played out. And end of quarter cars were anecdotally of poorer quality. That was certainly the case with my X, which I did not want delivered at quarter end. Once I got the email, though, I knew the car had been built and I had no control over it.What explained the booms and lulls ? Were they accumulating cars ?
Eventually all was made right and it's been solid, but I wouldn't want one of those bulk end of quarter deliveries again. Just in case.
