Thought I’d throw this response out from my DA, pertaining to color delays...
”The forums are always an interesting place to visit. While much of what I see in there is a blend between speculation and fact, the end result is a lot of calls with customers expressing concerns for things that are usually less concerning than they are made out to be.
Every color that is used on a customer vehicle must undergo color harmonizing exercises. This is to ensure consistency in the quality of the paint. Even slight variations will be difficult to resolve once applied to a customer car.
Dream Edition was our first trim and colors like the red, black and white were harmonized much sooner than colors like the grey and silver. Many will call out that no grey cars have been confirmed to be delivered, but I would go much further beyond that and say that there are only a limited number of Grand Touring cars that have been delivered in general.
For Cosmos Silver, this color is expected to come in the third quarter with deliveries starting in July/ August. This estimate has not changed but I do want to call out that anything is possible as we navigate the uncertainty plaguing suppliers. It is possible for Cosmos Silver to come a bit sooner but it is possible for the silver color to be delayed further. With a few months out from July, it is too far in advance to predict what the situation will be at that time.
Grey Cars are already receiving estimated VIN assignment dates and those VIN’s are expected within days for some people and just weeks for others. I would not label this as a delay as it is reflective of the variances that happen with production. Color harmonization must happen before a paint is used on a vehicle and naturally, some colors will be harmonized before others.”
