    Just got an email from my dealer-- Maggie, My 2007 Package 6 Magnetic Gray Prius has fliped from "A" status to "F" status. Does anyone know about how long they take to arrive in Long Beach before it then flips again to "G" status?

    Lets see, I can just imagine Maggie in a hold of some large super tanker (Do they make those things in a hybrid?) slowly making it's way across the deep blue Pacific--the constant rolling swells of the ocean, gently rocking my baby back and forth as she makes her way home to me!

    What are these "statuses" you're talking about?

    It's some code the dealer used to determine the status of the vehicle - in production, shipping, arrived etc.

    So is there a list of these status symbols and what they mean? I don't think it's common knowledge, and would help folks provide an answer to Joe's question.

    No. The only reason I know is because another newbie mentioned it and he/she said that A = arrived, P = production etc. I'm assuming S = shipping/en route.

    This what my dealer here in Colordao told me the codes mean:

    "A" status, the car is in "assembly" in Japan as it progresses, you get the last 8 digits of the VIN

    "F" status, the car is in shippment from Japan to its destination county, in my case I assume that would be the LA area someware. I suppose "F" could stand for "fleet."

    "G" status is "ground" and the car is route via railhead and or truck to the my local dealer.

    I'm thinking F status will last about 2 weeks, and when it flips to G status I better be getting my check book ready!
