I’ve been tracking it... 2 weeks ago, status changed from “order received” to “scheduled for production.” Yesterday, it moved again... backwards... to “order received.” I called Genius, got the automated system, was told “order received, no confirmed production date.”

Considering the severe impacts of COVID, I can’t be angry or frustrated... I just need to put a plan together. My current lease (Benz) ends in 3-4 weeks, and I’ve extended it twice (don’t ask how... wasn’t easy) and won’t be able to do so again.

Any insight on what I can (or can’t) expect in terms of the impact on production schedule/expected delivery? Thanks in advance, appreciate any thoughts or info.

Stay safe.
I'm on the same boat as you no pun intended. I've spoken to my CA and he has told me that the plant does have a lot of automation robots which will help a lot. Although we cannot know for sure if and/or how long delays will be.

I wanted to ask the same question in a thread but also didn't want to sound insensitive to all those impacted by the COVID19. All we can do is do the best we can with what we have, and continue to be conscious of the impact we have on others as well. We are all on this together and we will overcome this as well together.
