    But they haven’t actually arrived. Are they even on a ship yet?

    Not sure, but I think the first, small batch is just arriving at the dealers now. The second, large batch will take another couple of weeks to arrive at the dealers.

    I don't think so. Dealers usually get a heads-up 1 month prior arrival and all dealers I talked to, told me that they don't know anything.

    This lacking communication from Toyota NA and Japan has been going on for a while now and they are not happy either.

    we keep seeing that kind of thing, but no proof of actual arrival on the lot.

    i suspect this is all just pre shipping stuff and nothing has left the factory yet

    Who knows? It is not clear whether he actually saw it at a dealer or just saw it posted on a dealer web site. And anyway, who tweets as PriusChat but doesn't post here? Danny? Bill Murray? Rihanna?
