How long does a G87 usually stay in "final assembly" for?

turnsignalslol · 11-12-2023, 09:29 AM

My car entered final assembly almost a week ago now and hasn’t moved to the “ready for transport” section of the build chart. From what I’ve seen on the forums, cars usually stay in final assembly for only a day or so before being moved up, unless there’s a missing part or something. I think the next ship to Port Hueneme arrives in late November and it probably only take a couple days at most for the car to be shipped from SLP to Lazaro Cardenas so am I worrying over nothing?

If anyone has any build updates that would be nice. My build went into production around 2 weeks ago.

It's likely waiting for the ship. Once your is on the ship, you might see the change of status.

Dont trust that app. Call your CA.

Mine was Ready for Transport forever. It seemed to be on a ship for 5 minutes before it showed up at the port

Can be a few days to a few weeks. Then it'll likely sit at ready for transport for a while til it gets a ship assigned and loaded etc.

If you live in California does it still get put on a ship or do they do land transport for those vehicles?
