I called them but all they could do is agree it's very strange to have a car sitting at the port as long as mine has.Have you tried calling 1-866-ASK-MINI (1-866-275-6464) to talk to a customer service representative?

That's awesome!!! My theory is that it needs ~11 days to get to "exterior assembly" stage after "production begins" stage. My estimated build completion date is Sept 2nd but I reckon it'll happen before middle of August.Have you tried calling 1-866-ASK-MINI (1-866-275-6464) to talk to a customer service representative? (It's an automated system, but you can get to a real person 9am-9pm Eastern.) Maybe they could help advise or escalate, especially since you have evidence that cars built after yours have shipped?
You called it! The status moved forward to "Exterior Assembly Begins" when I checked this morning. Woohoo!

I asked if perhaps my MINI Cooper SE had been damaged and was waiting to be repaired. He said there would be a "hold" on my car if that had happened and there was none.Ah. Drat.![]()

I could be wrong but my guess is if your car enters the assembly stage, it most likely will be completed. Let us know if the status changes to "ready for transport" today/tomorrow.If my car is already sitting on the line, partially assembled, I have a little anxiety about the MINI factory crew coming back after three weeks off and just starting back in on it. I know I'm always a little groggy my first few days back from vacation...
My car began assembly at the beginning of June, immediately after the pandemic shut-down. How many of the original assembly team members were able to return to their accustomed places on the assembly line?If my car is already sitting on the line, partially assembled, I have a little anxiety about the MINI factory crew coming back after three weeks off and just starting back in on it. I know I'm always a little groggy my first few days back from vacation...

Sorry.I must not be the only one checking a bit more obsessively, because the tracking site has gotten pretty sluggish. Heh!
Mine just jumped all the way to "Quality Check," so maybe it will get finished before the break!
I believe the "carrier" is the train that brings the MINIs 67 miles from the Plant Oxford to the port in Southampton. I hope both you and @F14Scott are able to clear the Check-mark #13 hurdle quickly. It's been very unlucky for me.Very likely!
Mine was at “Quality Check” when I went to bed last night, and is currently “Awaiting Carrier Assignment”.
