    just curious about how long people have waited for their pre ordered car...just ordered mine , at least that's what the salesman is telling me and that in a couple of weeks he hopes to have a vin number for me ....i guess that's procedure ?

    sounds right. some people have been waiting months, but maybe they are starting to catch up, and the delivery times are shorter. keep us posted, all the best!

    I put my deposit down on January 28. On March 29th salesman tells me the first one at their dealership will be delivered in 3-4 weeks. The person placed their order in November. Mine is likely to come in in May or June. Supposed to get me a VIN number and build date this week.
    I waited many months for my 2001 Prius, so I'm used to this.

    I ordered mine in mid-January, here in Austin TX (well, close to Austin), and I have reasonably-plausible evidence that it'll be in mid-to-late May.

    Their order-filling times will almost certainly improve considerably over time, as their manufacturing capacity ramps up. Also, they have an obvious $$$ incentive to fill their quotas in "compliance states" first, so most are currently going to CA and OR initially, plus a fair number to the Northeast, I gather.

    Reserved the car on 3/18/17 in SoCal and the vehicle has a vessel arrive date of 4/18/17 which hopefully means the dealer will have it a week later.

    I can now update a little.

    My salesman e-mailed that my Prime is in the inventory schedule but no VIN number yet because it did not get to the Body Shop yet. It probably has a Unique Reference Number (URN), but no VIN yet.
    My Prime is expected 6-7 weeks from now. May17-24.
    This means It will be 16 weeks from deposit to delivery (not bad for a Midwest order).
    It seems like eternity..

    I am excited... it is starting to feel "Real"..

    You are all much more patient than I am.
    Especially knowing that there are cars sitting on the lot at a dealership in a different state and can be bought for less than MSRP and either driven or shipped to you in a couple of weeks:D.

    I have never been happier with a car. A real pleasure to drive each and every day so far.

    Mine is expected in mid -May too. They must have scheduled a production run. They'll probably be on the same boat.

    Interesting! Just guessing, of course, but perhaps they've just now swapped the production over to the final full-volume production line.

    What was the Costco discount? I just looked on Costco's web site, and I had to select a dealer. After being swamped with emails about my "interest" when I looked on TrueCar.com, I'm hesitant to go through that again.
