    Re: 1st 'production' email from toyota

    I got the same email. This tells us very little except that we can probably push back delivery about a month. let's say they start building in mid Feb then give it a week for build and move to docks, 6 weeks in transit and another couple of weeks here for unloading, fitting port options and shipping to dealer it looks like late April, early May for mine (order #122). I was hoping for mid to late March which would mean starting build mid January:(

    Re: 1st 'production' email from toyota

    I'm #93 and got between feb and march

    I've got to add another week or two longer delivery to the east coast, so the snow might be melted before mine gets here...

    Feb and March for me as well. Order # below.

    Curious where the switch will be to later months (as in will all super-preorder folk be in the same timeframe?).

    Re: 1st 'production' email from toyota

    I received the email as well (Feb-March production), #1700 here.. I'm curious to see if the next batch of emails (that Erica eluded to) will say something different, like "March-April production", etc.

    Re: 1st 'production' email from toyota

    Got the same e-mail (Feb-March production) as well. My order number is #418.

    It'll get here eventually. It's the waiting that is gonna suck... When my wife ordered her Mini Countryman, it was an agonizing 2 months for her waiting for the car to be built & delivered. Mini had a website that she could login to to find out when it was being built, shipped, etc. It seems like Toyota is trying to do the same for us.

    Re: 1st 'production' email from toyota

    If you don't see the e-mail from Toyota, and you are using gmail, please check your SPAM folder. That's where I found mine...
    The original e-mails I got when I placed the order stayed in my Inbox, but for some reason this update is considered spam.

    Any new batches of mass emails going through Gmail tend to get flagged as spam until enough people mark them as not spam.

    Also, if you read Erica's Note, she says, "... If you don’t receive one [an email from Toyota] and your buddy does, don’t panic please, additional batches will be going out within the next couple weeks. "

    How many cars does Toyota put on a container ship at once?

    @devprius i know what it's like, i went through it with the leaf, even going so far as using my telescope to take pictures of ships in the san francisco bay that i thought might be carrying my car to long beach. bad craziness.

    There are 3,500-4,500 vehicles on each ship.
