Production questions

AlphaTeam · 07-25-2004, 02:16 PM

Does anyone know how the timing of auto production goes?

I'm just curious as to how long it takes to get MY Prius to me.

Not the date I'm getting it, but my car itself.

What I mean is someday the car I buy starts its day on the assemply line.
How long does it take to complete it on the assembly line?
Then how long does it take to take a boat ride here?
How long do they sit at the dock before they are loaded on those truck that get them to the dealer?
What does the dealer do when it get them?

I'm sure I missed a step in there somewhere too?
Also where do the options get installed?

Do they make just package #0 packages on the line then later the extra stuff is added?
Or lets say I want a package #7, but want to add the 6 disk changer stereo, does the dealer do that?

Thanks
Alpha

My Prius was built in April and I bought it May 9, the day it arrived at the dealership.

My car was built in June. A sticker on the door jamb says it was built by "The Blue Team". I took delivery June 25.
