This seems fast?
The production part was quick for me. I sat at the port for 5.5 weeks. Assuming this gets cut down for you, I think September would be reasonable.

Our boat will go east coast. It'll come into Galveston first and then go up north and then back to Europe.

If the prod date is any indication on when it actually finishes being built (which is what Westside Guy was saying, I believe, then it may not go into exterior assembly until end of July.

Following my previous build I went into Production Begins status on 5/26/21 and then it was at Awaiting Carrier Assignment by 6/10/21.

From Production Begins to Exterior Body Assembly it was 5/26 to 6/1. I think things are a little slower now that production has ramped up again.

Update: still no movement since it went in the paint booth.

Emailed my salesperson and they said they don’t have any updates on their end either. Also said it is happening with all orders regardless of model.

Consistent answer given my current build journey, where Sales doesn't know much more than the tracking website reports.

Just called genius. Their tracking system showed the same information as what I've seen in the tracker - they showed it as painting as of 7/24.

They did reiterate that it's not abnormal for them to lose the ability to track.

I did ask if my prod complete date was still 8/18 and she said her system showed completion either week 34 or 35 which would be slightly after, anytime between the 21st and 31st. She said it did not provide an exact date at this time.

She was very nice and as helpful as she could be! No wait at all, just had to get past the robot. Pleased with the customer service so far.

Great! Perhaps it will pick up the tracking when it’s on the boat or truck. The genius team is very pleasant to talk to.
