Here’s my prediction. All those cars with white covers on them are all grey. They are going to call us all on the 11th to give our VIN’s and delivery by the end of the month.

Simply posting allows me to update, please feel free to post again once you receive your car. Can you confirm you kept the Santa Cruz interior? If so, you'd be our first Santa Cruz delivery. Otherwise, what interior did you change to (if you did)?

My dog sheds white hair. Will look much better in the Santa Cruz than the Mojave

Stupid question but do we know that the difference between the top and bottom lots are? Or is it a case of just fill the space until the truck comes to collect….
@mnewber1 noticed a fence between the two lots. And I’ve only seen car carriers in the bottom lot. So, I’d assume cars in the bottom lot are ready for shipping. Cars in the top lot are probably awaiting white carpet or grey paint.

Sent the note today to DA saying, unless it’s on a truck already, just ship to CT. I get a text back saying my car arrived at the Riviera Service center this morning! He said the service center knew my deadline (Friday) and if they couldn’t have the car ready by then, they would ship to CT. A little bit of a roller coaster but trending in right direction.
Yes, Santa Cruz.

I have also received my VIN this morning from my DA! (Who continues to be a very responsive and helpful).
Estimate was for 3 to 8 weeks for delivery to my home in Florida
Black, Santa Cruz, 21's

Very normal in the early stages of production, not a surprise in the current climate.

They likely won’t divulge that information since they don’t want Bear to be recording their lot in the first place. But, we can always speculate!I wonder if @Firstto520 can confirm?

Open the floodgates and let's see that first Grey / Santa Cruz!
I would settle for first Grey. It appears interiors are no longer an issue.
Evidently the "Harmony Process" for Grey has been more difficult and is taking longer than they thought it would be, according to my DA and his boss. I had to look it up and evidently they are having a hard time getting the various grey bits to match up to each other color-wise. Might we end up getting a Grey Camo GT???

That is what I was told. They rejected a batch of Grey paint because it did not match their color specs. That caused the delay and they moved on with other colors until that issue was solved.
Yea, I brought that up and they basically said they had not heard about any type of paint from a supplier being rejected. It was specifically blamed on the Harmony Process taking longer and being more difficult than they anticipated.
The Harmony Process is getting the various bits that might be painted at different times, locations, etc. to fall within a certain tolerance. This can be impacted by environmental conditions or any host of things. It generally isn't dependent on paint batches and can be manipulated at the production facility. For simplicity sake, you can use paint out of the same "can" to paint the bumper in one room and the doors in another room, or at different times of the day even, and get a slightly different shade. Unfortunately, it sounds much more complex than getting a supplier to fix a batch of paint.

I am supposed to get an update on Thursday. Hopefully, there will be something to pass onto those interested. I am not holding my breath though. I have let them know what I think of this "grey delay" and I would have thought they would have wanted to relay any remotely good news proactively. No communication leads me to believe they have no good news to tell. I have also had my DA tell me that he would let me know as soon as the first VIN is released for a grey car. So, either there have been no VIN's released for a grey car or he was just trying to say something to try and keep me happy at that moment with no real intent to follow through.
