We all figured they would be batched. but believed that they would work through each order confirmation batch, or a couple of them to completion.
I wonder if you can do the Tesla model where you can ask your DA to be on the lookout for any GT that the owner couldn't pay or cancelled and take their car no matter the configuration.
Actually the paint shop is done. It's the main assembly floor that isn't complete yet. They currently have a 2 story paint shop but are only using the 2nd story for paint and the bottom floor for general assembly. Once the expansion is complete, general assembly will be done in the new building with the paint shop being expanded.That's why this tracker is important for Touring holders too once it's time for them to confirm. If Lucid hasn't finish their paint shop (which it looks like it's not even begun construction), then they will likely do Silver and Gray Tourings first.
its at that time the color batching affecting delivery will end and they should be able to produce by Trim and reservation date rather than by color.Actually the paint shop is done.

This must be why my brother's order was changed from July to December delivery. Well, money speaks for sure.Tesla is tripling your Model Y delivery time if you don't add on the $12,000 FSD option

At least you know why the delivery date is changing. It would be nice if I could check a box for "red" and see the car in April or "grey" and see that I would get it this fall. Unfortunately that information is not available.This must be why my brother's order was changed from July to December delivery. Well, money speaks for sure.
Would you actually change to red to get it sooner?At least you know why the delivery date is changing. It would be nice if I could check a box for "red" and see the car in April or "grey" and see that I would get it this fall. Unfortunately that information is not available.
If they had told me that in November, yes. If they had told me that in December when we were debating changing colors, yes. Then, I was told that changing the any details 'could' delay the delivery, but perhaps if I had changed it to red, I might have had a VIN today. Right now the cars are already baked into the production list. Changing it now would most likely mean a longer delay it because they would make it after they switched to the greys and back to red.Would you actually change to red to get it sooner?
Maybe you can call your DA or SA and ask the option and be very blunt about it. If not, seriously ask to speak with Doreen Allen about your customer service experience. She is very nice and wonderful to speak withIf they had told me that in November, yes. If they had told me that in December when we were debating changing colors, yes.

Yeah.... about that. I'm still waiting for a reply from Doreen. Emailed her days ago, was supposed to hear something from her today. I guess there are still a couple of hours left in the work day. I'll see if my faith is restored.Maybe you can call your DA or SA and ask the option and be very blunt about it.

I have red with Santa Cruz. What scares me is that they finally close out this batch of red to segue to other colors before the white carpet constraint lifts putting all the red/ Santa Cruz at the back of the pack untill another batch of red comes up. That could be monthsSomething to watch is that @Mattlca, @Steve11ca, @Maverick, @CraZ8, and @copper are the last Red, White, or Black reservation holders from November or December with non-Santa Cruz interior to get their VINs.
That is entirely possible. Without communication from Lucid, I have surmised that they are going through the reds as that is the color they ended in the paint shop when doing the Dreams. They have some black and whites as they produced extra frames not knowing how many of each would be ordered in the Dreams. The carpet issues mean that they are only producing those paints with Mojave and Tahoe interiors. However, they will rapidly exhaust the red confirmed orders and will have to switch the paint shop to grey or silver. They will run through the Grey-Mojave and Grey-Tahoe until the carpet Santa Cruz carpet situation has resolved. They will then likely finish the Greys, move to silvers and then back to either black, white or red to complete the Santa Cruz interiors.I have red with Santa Cruz.

Still no VIN for me and I’ve got a Santa Cruz interior.Something to watch is that @Mattlca, @Steve11ca, @Maverick, @CraZ8, and @copper are the last Red, White, or Black reservation holders from November or December with non-Santa Cruz interior to get their VINs.
Sorry not sure how I roped you in with the other non-Santa Cruz cars.Still no VIN for me and I’ve got a Santa Cruz interior.
No worriesSorry not sure how I roped you in with the other non-Santa Cruz cars.
Yes, I think the only other two have Tahoe as an interior selection. As far as the Santa Cruz interior delay, I wonder if they would produce the red, white and black cars with Santa Cruz interiors and just park them to finish later. Its a stretch, but I wouldn’t be shocked at this point as it would help them delay the silvers and greys without any further communication.
Still no response from my DA.
