i4 or V6? If i4 they still have to wait for the EO from CARB which should have happened by now. If a V6 then probably sooner rather than later.
I4 sorry, forgot to specify
Yea, that’s not your dealers fault…..you’re at the speed of California bureaucracy. I can tell you that posters on another thread have been told Spring 2025 for their FE i4’s. These are folks in the NE.
Apologies - I didn't phrase my question properly. I meant to ask: for people who have taken deliveries, how long did it take for the car to reach the dealership from the time it landed in Baltimore?
I don't care whether you are conservative or liberal, you should still be fired up about this...

Did anyone answer this question? I’m a bit curious myself.
It took 2 weeks to get it up to Canada from Baltimore, with a June build.
There have been so many variables, since cars started getting delivered, from the initial CARB cert delays to the bridge collapse, that dock to dealer times have varied widely and wildly. For me, I feel I got extremely lucky in many ways. The boat carrying my Emira docked in Baltimore May 13. It was the first boat with Emiras let through after the bridge collapse was partially cleared, so my car didn't experience the additional delay of arriving in Newark and having to be trucked to Baltimore. My dealer in So Cal received the car on June 1, so this was about 3 weeks. For others at that time, the wait was much longer, as I saw times up to 2 months or maybe more. For reference, there were 113 US-destined Emiras on the boat carrying my Emira on May 13, so on the high side compared to other arrivals, possibly making my wait a bit longer. Now that things have settled down, I would say 2 weeks is possible with 3-4 weeks a more realistic expectation to avoid disappointment.
How long did your dealer have it before it was PDI’d and ready for you to pick up
Not sure of the exact timing but it wasn't long at all, especially considering I instructed my dealer to not wash nor detail my car in any way (which was the admonition I got from my PPF shop who would be doing the paint correction before PPF). The dealer informed me on Wed May 29 that the car was "on the way" and would arrive in the next few days. As I was out of town, scrambling for flights to come in to pick up the car, I arranged to pick it up the following Wednesday, June 5. On Saturday June 1, my dealer informed me that "The car is here. It has already gone through our pre-delivery inspection and received the necessary software update. Detail starting today and will surely be ready for you to pick up on Wednesday!" At which point I had to remind him (again!) that I didn't want the detail. So I believe the PDI and software update were done within 24 hours of them receiving my car. But bear in mind, this was Eurocar in Costa Mesa, CA, a much smaller dealer than many, and significantly smaller than Galpin. So the number of cars they had to process coming in at that time you could count on less than 2 hands. And that may have had something to do with the quick turnaround on PDI. So YMMV.
Thank you for the detailed answers! My car is on a truck heading to the dealership. Can't wait!
Congrats! I also bought mine from Park Place, but I ordered the i4 so per David at Park Place I am still TBD, with no information available whatsoever. Hopefully they're being a bit more proactive with you.
FWIW. My car arrived in Baltimore on 10/12 and was loaded on a truck today 10/22. Dealer states it takes two days to transport, 2 days to PDI, and 2 days to PPF if I want.
