East Coast FL5 Delivery Estimates/Confirmations

[jtrader]

Those 500 are already on US soil

I guess that was kinda my point. That doesn't sound like a whole lot when the demand is through the roof.

The issue is these 500 (outside of ones that went to west) aren’t being delivered to Midwest and east coast that already have allocations/purchases

Maybe this is Honda introducing green to the FL5 color lineup? There will be moss growing on these by the time they get anywhere off that port.

Dam - you guys are really going crazy for the status

and this is why

These are the dealer that haveFL5 in the showroom currently
Look at the 25+ in SoCal lol just siting there

I visited my local dealer and saw the Black FL5 - they are asking 20k over MSRP

In total here is the goals inventory including what is in transit currently (stuck at ports)

I was told that everyone on the waiting list for the FL5 sting at my local dealer, failed to qualify for a loan so it is up for graps if anyone is interested.

FYI - they rejected a few offers of $15k over MSARP, they seem to be firm on the $20k

So I called a local dealer(one that I don't have a deposit at) just to see what they'd say and the guy said by the end of the month he said he was 99.9% sure. (Lord I hope so this wait has gone on for a bit) It's not even that it's intolerable to wait... it's intolerable to wait with poor information.

Either way this is Babylon Honda, in Babylon NY, and they want upwards of 20K over sticker for a Champ White Type R.

Again he was fairly certain it's going to be the end of the month. Makes sense honestly, I mean next week is the holiday and then it's kind of a sprint until Jan and I imagine it looks good fiscally for Honda if the cars are out and sold out( kind of like the shit show that was the recent release of the 30 series GPU's) I mean 40 series is out now and I imagine Honda just like NVIDIA is perfectly okay with this paper launch. Even though the car will be in people's hands. LOL 500 cars?? Paper launch

I hope so but I seriously doubt it. With Thanksgiving next week and the labor strike threatening the port the following week I think we will be lucky to see these cars by the end of the year. I could be flat wrong and I hope I am but that's the reality. I work in supply chain for a major company and all our containers coming from the west coast are severely delayed. If we knew a container number I could tell you exactly when they came off the water

Most of all the cars that have been sitting at port are being released week of Nov 20th. I can't say why but there were multiple hold ups (not related to vehicle issues)

dude that’s excellent news. Did that come from Honda? Any hints as to what the holdups were?

It's a reliable source. It was multiple issues, including logistics. But all has been cleared.

I'm hoping your right brother

 

[elusiveaura]

Thank you for this information man. It’s much appreciated. What do we think is a good timeframe for travel time from port to deslers? A week maybe? I know holiday will add a couple days

While that is admittedly very good news, after watching your excellent video on the FL5, I am now seriously considering not purchasing during this initial wave due to the ADM required to do so. I am currently waiting on mine to arrive from the port.

I appreciate you sharing the info above, as well as the excellent review you produced, as usual.

Id wait. Puts more pressure on dealers. I'm gonna be doing a follow up video about this with the dealers I am working with. As mentioned maybe moot point if banks are not gonna front money for loans anyway.

Thanks for the update. We appreciate you. Sad that it can’t come straight from Honda. Overall good news though.
