Delivery Spreadsheet - Let's Track These Inbound SEs

I fixed it for you, color-wise.

 

Hear Hear!

 

Good suggestion. My martyr-hood was rewarded and I'm a happy owner. No need to discourage potential customers, so I deleted my entry in the table.

 

Wow! Brought the average down 2 weeks all by yourself. Down to 14.8 weeks.

 

All those listed in the spreadsheet are US-based. I'm in Australia so should I put my details in too? I put my deposit down on the 17th of last month.

 

I would vote yes! It will not be hard to track the average delivery weeks by country.

 

I also vote yes!

 

3rd. I think we can rename the columns to be non-US specific (e.g. Port of Destination rather than US Port date) because there is a destination port field. I think it would be valuable for future orderers to see what others have experienced.

 

I edited the sheet, feel free to revert if a different and larger consensus emerges and deems it to be undesirable.

 

I'm all for being international. Since all the SEs come from the Oxford Plant it's worthwhile to track progress around the globe.

 

I've now inputted my details.

Note that under "Trim" I've placed an asterisk next to "Iconic/Level 3" as the Australian market wasn't given the option to select trim levels with our preselected trim being the same as the Iconic (US) and Level 3 (UK) except for the fact that there is no sunroof. Colour selections were also limited and we were basically given four options from which to choose: 2 "Future" options ie. Midnight Black Metallic or White Silver Metallic, both with energetic yellow mirrors, black rooves and power spoke wheels. There were also two "Classic" options ie. British Racing Green or Chili Red, both with Aspen White roof and mirrors plus tentacle spoke wheels. As my avatar suggests, I'm going with British Racing Green.

 

Good call (on the spreadsheet change, not on the odd restrictions they place on you for options)

 

Sadly the result of living in a small, distant market. While I would have enjoyed the process of exercising greater control over the colour selection, trim level, wheel design, etc. I can imagine myself agonising over these choices for days and then, having selected my desired build, having second thoughts later on. As it stands, I have no doubt that the British Racing Green was the best choice for me considering the limited options.

There are, however, a couple of things that I regret them not offering:

1) I'm really surprised by the fact that we received everything in the Iconic/Level 3 trim but no sunroof. Seriously? Even in the south of Australia where I am we get plenty of warmth and sunshine. In the north it's hot and sunny nearly all the time. I can't understand why they didn't give us this.
2) Considering the notes on climate above, lighter-coloured leather seats would have been preferable to the black, and probably a better match for the white roof.

 

I placed my order on 9/24, and received my production number today. According to mini garage it has entered the production queue. Much sooner than anticipated; I was still debating over wheel choice and earlier this week was told I had time, but then—surprise!

 

Have you entered your info on the tracking spreadsheet? We love seeing the data.

 

Just did; yes!

 

For those willing to provide it, I added a column next to username for state / country. I will add this data to the stats tracking.

 

No sunroof in Australia?? My sympathies. I loved the dual sunroof in my old 2012 Cooper S. It was the best sunroof of any car I've had. I'm also looking forward to cloth seats again. Black leather was tough on hot sunny days.
