I just read that priority one cars do get processed first, so that is good news!

that is amazing they can unload 3400 cars in 1 day! I guess this means the vpc just received 3400 cars, though. I wonder how many cars they are able to process per day?

I was amazed. It figures out to a total of 10 hours or less so that's 350+ cars/hr - almost 1 car every 10 sec. (That all assumes that it was fully loaded.)
As I understand it (and I haven't absolutely confirmed it), the cars are loaded on a train to go 200 miles to the VPC at Spartanburg. This might also be a bottleneck. |

I just talked to my CA and she said that my car is already on the car carrier leaving the VPC. My dealership is in Winston-Salem, NC which is only 290 miles from Charleston, SC. I'll probably have my car tomorrow.

It appears that way. The dealership is trying to squeeze in all the sales they can before the end of the month. They know I'm going to the beach Thursday night so if they can't get it to me by Thursday afternoon, the sale will be counted as an April sale since I wouldn't be back in town to get my car until April 2nd.
Hopefully I'll hear something by late tomorrow morning or early afternoon for sure so I can get my car tomorrow night.

I thought I was going to get my car yesterday but it didn't make it to the dealer. It should get there tomorrow but I'm going to the beach tomorrow tonight and won't be back until Sunday. So I have to wait until Monday to get my car.
