Thank you @TaxmanHog - my last 6 are G13418

OK, now the fun begins. I have a blend date of 8/23 and I'm 323/408. I'm guessing I won't see any real changes as far as modules until Wednesday or Thursday. I did order the spray in bed liner which will slow things down for me. I'm in Pittsburgh which is 390 miles from the plant. Should I assume that it will still come by rail to either Ohio or PA?

@KndrTH & "California Lighting" (couldn't tag you) you might be interested in this.

"I wanted to better estimate how long shipping the truck to CA will take. While the overall production to delivery days are trending down, recent shipping times are volatile, anywhere from 11 to 42 days."

Posted this in the 8/15 thread as well...

Thanks for this! I am going to try to stay optimistic and hope I get closer to that 11 day delivery timeframe. In the meantime I'm going to have to find a CU to help get a decent rate to finance this purchase....

@Jaufry @johnnyonetime - you are up! Let us know how it goes, kickin' off the week!

Since we have a few of NJ trucks this week and the samples size is decent, I thought you might be interested in how fast other trucks shipped historically....

Can you do Louisiana? I know that the sample size is probably small, but it'd be appreciated & will keep me occupied this week (instead of refreshing the production status page)!

Good luck 8/22 Group, hope you all have a quick build & delivery experience!

Any signs of movement? Hard to believe that by the end of the week it will exist.

I've just named my Lightning "Hey Joule" in honor of Hey Jude by the Beatles. The song goes like this -

“Hey Joule”
By PiMatrix

Hey Joule, don’t make me sad.
Take a fast charge, and make it last.
Remember to keep us supplied with your juice,
Or we’ll need a place with a columb boost,
And while we wait many cups of java roast.
...

OK, I'm definitely not a songwriter!

P.S. A columb is equal to the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.

Sure thing.. not much data, so the graph is overkill, but for consistency

From looking at the 8/15 thread, looks like they are running behind by a day or so. Some there still wait for their tear tag.

 

[Jaufry]

Nothing yet here.. if they're a day behind hopedully i'll see some movement tomorrow!

 

[ddbrooke]

Today’s my blend day! I’m excited to watch my truck progress through the build.

I’m 8/18 blend and still waiting for Mods. Sorry group!

 

[TaxmanHog]

Looking at last weeks data so far, the lag of blend to in-production jumped from 1-2 days to 4+ days, not sure why but it happened on the 17th.
