Apparently Jaguar's offices are closed today, Monday and Tuesday for the "holiday". Still no information on anything, and I simply don't understand why others vehicles are arriving at dealerships and mine is just lost.
My dealer said vehicles arriving without warning such as they did for Micks41 never happens for them. So i don't expect to see my vehicle next week.

Congrats, it's beautiful. What color is that? It almost looks like it has a dark bronze tint, but that could be a camera/lighting artifact.
It also looks like the car knows the the right thing to do. It wants to go southeast out of Ohio.

Congrats!
My waiting game has just started, but I am curious to know what you guys are using for tracking. Does the dealer email you with the VIN and info on tracking?
I ordered Stratus Grey as well and I am pumped to see your pic! I wanted a very dark grey and your pic is what I was hoping for. When I ordered the dealer mentioned that after sometime in April you can't order Stratus Grey any longer and the Storm Grey seems to have taken its place though I am guessing its an actual color change and not just a name change.

Steps are:
1) Order accepted into production system with a specific build week.
2) Once frame is on the line during build week, a VIN will be available.
3) After car is finished at factory, there are trains twice a week that take it to
Southampton where it will be loaded onto a ship. Can sit for a week waiting for next ship -- see next step.
4) Looking at the Wallenius Web site and based on when the car might have made it to the port and your dealer's location, you can figure
out what ships may possibly be used. Your VIN usually shows up on the WW Web site a day or two after leaving Southampton. That gives you a port arrival date.
5) Time for the last leg really varies, especially if there is a hold for SW updates or some recall.

Also could you let me if the new concierge/assist hotline can program your navigation destination for you?

Veni, vidi, vici.
Good luck to all those waiting!
Jay, it's less an issue of luck and more one of agonizing patience. I finally got a call from the dealer that my order has been confirmed in the system and I need to come in to verify the options. Hopefully they have a build date to share with me.

I believe Micks41 took delivery of his car on Saturday. According to my dealer's contacts, there have only been 12 AWD vehicles released. The next set of vehicles is scheduled to be released sometime next week, of which my vehicle is a part of.
