Seems that the unexpected order load has put the factory into overdrive!

Orders seem to be about 20 days ahead of schedule at the moment, so worth checking back with your dealer regularly.

I'm not so sure about that.

My car is in Finland in the week 28 or at least early w 29 but my dealer is on vacation.

Of what I know my car was behind the schedule a week+ when it came out of the factory.

There must be always some substitute person available who can do the actual delivery, I don't believe that the whole place in on vacation...or else it's then really weird place...
