Taking deliver 12/30 at Minneapolis SC. They also offered Saturday 12/31 as an option. Guide told me no last week when I confirmed my R1 shop order and asked for factory delivery. Then my 4-6 week transit quickly turned into 1 week. I would guess they have excess delivery capacity at service centers and more work than people at factory in Normal, IL.

That could be. People have vacation time around the holidays. Why not a road trip to Normal, iL

Yes, wow! Exceeded expectations. Incredible sounding stereo, drives amazing, super quiet cruising down the interstate. Screens and technology Incorporated very impressive.
Learned today to not rely on recommended charge stops. It wanted me to stop twice and leave an 80 mile cushion at my destination. Didn't need it. Also need to be flexible with the charge stops. They could broken and or occupied. Leave plenty of cushion to head to another charging station along the route as needed.
