    Your car is on a train coming from Portland, Oregon. Then it will be loaded on a truck headed to your dealer. Hope you like it.

    and sorry I don't do train spotting! Ha Ha

    Not so sure about that... the prototypes we saw and drove between Jan-Mar were in the 1000's... 1013 was the Blue/Gray w/ Solar.

    Does that mean mine is 4,368th?!

    VIN: JTDKN3DU6A0004368

    This would be awesome for tax reasons, right?!

    OK, great that we/some of us can locate our cars. Can some one tell me where my car is? It was my understanding it reached port on the 4th of June. It is an 010V with AT package Vin# JTDKN3DU3A0006272. Thanks, Hozz

    LOL fruzzetti, I was waiting for that. :rofl:

    Your dealer would best know what boat your car is on and in what status. Once we get boat names though, we can track through ship tracking sites (some pay, some free).

    Wow, VINs in the 10,000 certianly brings more significance to my 00,474, but they are also by factory, with a 3 or a 5 before the A. I forget which is which, but there is a thread about it. Maybe in the new owner's photo thread, but 10,000+ per 2 factories, if both sequences are that high, means 20,000+ cars built so far.

    I guess I can hope (or fear) that mine was in the first 1,000 at 00,474.
