Yea! In assembly now and VIN is 1818 (ordered 12/30). What is the common wisdom on the time between now and a Karma getting on the boat for the long ride across the pond?

Mark, I think its 2-3 weeks from assembly to boat.

Mark,

Now that you know your VIN you can track it yourself as well. Click the link below, answer "no" to any 'display secure content only' popups, enter your VIN into the Cargo ID field and press Track. That will tell you if your car is in the system, at a dock, on a ship, or offloaded. It will even let you know if it's cleared customs or been released for transport. If it's on a ship you can find out when it's due to make landfall.

Thanks to both of you. I'd squirreled away that 2wglobal URL just for that purpose. I'm guessing I have 2-3 weeks until it's in that system (assembly to boat) and then I'll be able to watch it through "ready for transport" in New Jersey. And then I live in PA, so I'm guessing it's a short wait to get to my dealer, get prepped, etc. Sounds like most likely April, small chance for March if the port is no longer backlogged.

My dates are in my signature and my ship is pulling into Halifax now and expected in NY on the 9th.

Mine was "scheduled" to start assembly on 12-21-11, and I confirmed (w/ tracking website) it was loaded onto a vessel today.

FWIW, my vehicle arrived in NY on 1/26/2012, cleared customs and was released for transit on 1/27/2012 and arrived at my dealership here in Atlanta yesterday. In other words, it only took 11 days from port to dealer.

My experience may not be typical, but it seems they are getting through the backlog of cars that need the 6.13.5 SW flash and grounding strap completed much faster than they have been.

Marcus, if these timelines hold for you, you'll be tooling around in your Karma long before Leap Day Smile

My experience has been very different and I suspect more typical. My car arrived in Newark on January 19th and is still there. Waiting for a resonator according to Fisker, And being on the West Coast I still have to wait another 7-10 days for it get across the country. But it should be worth the wait.

Thanks Brent - How many more days until pickup?

I'm out of town until the weekend, so Saturday AM is D-Day! (as in Delivery)
