How many weeks does it take for the actual build once the plant begins the build?

No way of telling now as they have chip shortage and factories idled / temporarily "shutdown".
I ordered my BS OB 12/21. Production scheduled for 2/28; am sure production date will be rescheduled for a hopefully march date.

I have noticed quite a few “landed” and in transit 2022s do not have the tow package…coincidence?

Yes, I was just curious how long it takes to go from "in production" to "built" when everything is up and running.

Yes, this stinks. So close, yet so far away!

Probably not. It’s a non-starter for me. I know it can be added later as I have done it plenty of times but I will wait for it.

At this point, maybe I’ll just wait for the 2023 model to come out and cancel my 2022 order. Engine cover ?, temp knobs ?, probably Sync 4 ?

Probably still no cover and no temp knobs. The cover wasn’t a commodity constraint, it was a cost savings. The cover adds no real value. The change in knobs is also a cost savings and probably a bit of chip issue. I doubt they will come back either. Sync 4, I would expect at some point.

Normally less than a week.

Than had trucker shortage if they start protesting March 1st - driving from California to NY. I am all for the truckers, but wait until my BS is delivered.
The norm for delivery would be 3 to 4 weeks, but who knows now. First have to get built.

At what time since the start of production did they drop the cover and change the knobs ? Also what did they change about the knobs ?

For the first half of December folks were posting that they got their in production, built, and shipped emails in the span of 3 days. While others at that same time went into production and waited close to a month for their built email, like me.

The 1.5 cover was dropped around the middle of 2021. The 2.0 cover was dropped at the beginning of 2022 production. The knobs also changed for 2022 production, they no longer display the temp in the center of the knob. The temp pops up on the sync screen when you adjust.

1 - 2 weeks. But can be built but put on hold in parking lot waiting for chip or whatever. So no telling with all going on.
