Productive date of 9/28. Around when will my car arrive to dealer?

I just got a email from my dealer that the productive date is on 9/28. So on average, how long after the productive date do the cars actually come to the dealer?

If by "productive date" you mean TPW, that is Target Production Week. You build could happen any day that week. I'd guess you are looking at about 3 more weeks, from today. Its hard to say though. Will you car get built beginning of the week or end? , will it ship right out? , how many stops does it have to make before it gets to you? it is really hard to judge, but like I said, my guess is you have about 3 weeks.

I just talked to someone there. They said that it is the Tentative Production Date, and then i asked how long does it usually take to get to the dealer after that date and they said about 10 days

it could be 10 days. My TPW was 8/3. Car was built 8/5, shipped 8/5, delivered 8/13. I am just guessing 3 weeks from today. Remember you TPW is still a week out. So 10 days from your TPW is about the same as my guess. Its close anyhow. What event code are you at?

You should expect your car to be completed and inspected within your TPW or early the following week. For this time, there are alot of factors that determine how fast you will get your car. If you are getting stripes it will be longer to be available to ship. Once all complete and available to ship it should arrive in 10-30 days. Whoever told you to expect it within 10 days of TPW is not providing you very good information. It is always better to expect longer and be surprised if you get faster.

Weak information, Grasshopper. Review my signature for a better timeline to estimate your production/delivery flow. Many others on here to view for comparative purposes. My TPW was 8.3.09 and mine started right on time.
