I've only looked at 26 reservations and confirmations.

For those with the higher 1200 numbers, their wait is the longest at right around 7 to 7.5 months from reservation time to configuration time.

The really early reserves had to wait about 5.8 - 6 months to configure.

I'm not sure if the wait time will increase or decrease yet.

to help your update

I will update my spreadsheet as I get more data from this board and post the data. If people want to update on this thread it will make it easier for me to find the info.

I reserved on 4/2 (1187) and confirmed in the batch that closed on Nov. 19th. My region is North-East (New York City) Any idea when I can expect my car?

I am 1284 in Soutern Ca and plan on a long wait, because of load balancing. Hopefully by March I might get to confirm. Still hoping to get a smart this year.

Most likely in about April.

These are all guesstimates right now. Things can change. But it's my best educated guess.

We need more deliveries of higher numbers to get a better idea. Right now it's been mostly 1173 people getting them.

Looks like a big batch of configurations are coming out around right now because a 1311 just got a confirmation today.

That person's wait time was about 171 days which is very similar to the wait time that the 1173's had.

I've got a range of 1239 to 1311 people that received configuration e-mails in the last few days. So if you are in between there somewhere, you might be getting an e-mail to configure soon.

I'm not sure how much load balancing will affect things. The 1311 person was from Florida and I'm assuming they have many reservations too.

T-bone,

I reserved on March 26th, and I configured on October 20th. I have not had any calls or emails yet of a car for me on the way. I am an 1180. I do not know if my car will go to Lincolnwood or Indianapolis, but Indy is closer to me.
