Now as thet enter the shipping system it causing a shortage of trucks, truck drivers, rail cars etc. The RR's have even stated they were cutting back because the system was congested and there were several rail strikes this spring as the workers want more money. There are other commodities besides vehicles that command the attention of the shipping industry. In short,have to wait your turn. They can only move so many, what they don't get to it put off till another day.

All this is totally understandable. But the issue is we have some people having their car build an then 2 weeks later their vehicle is delivered. Then we have other that are waiting months with absolutely no update at all. I just saw several people the other day state they received their vehicle and it was officially build week of may 12th. Mine was build 6 days later on lmay 18th and I have no eta at alll. Per dealer its just sitting in lansing awaiting a dispatch. Not even showing in inventory or anything. Yet many others build same time or even after me have been in inventory
