Hm.. so have I, but mine is in the middle of the Pacific currently- so I was thinking maybe its a proximity thing. I cannot see anything regarding status- just a rendered image

Correct no mark ups on the regular IS 500…

Not sure if this sheet has a column for “Launch Edition”

Had a family member take their 2020 highlander in for service and they couldn't figure out why it rode so horribly afterward. I drive it and scroll through the screens and all tires were at 55psi on the screen. I check it with a digital gauge and they were all between 60-63psi, I was amazed that the person hadn't blown the tire up considering max psi is 51 from Goodyear, at that point and proceeded to drop the pressures down and drive it to the dealer and let them know what had happened

No separate column for launch, but can be added as a new line, or can be mentioned in the notes section. New line item might benefit the dealership as some people may be searching by color code.

Not sure what your ETA is… Do you have an LE on deck ?

I'm in California, so I think I'm getting the car soon. Maybe that's why??

I went back and read your posts… I wouldn’t be surprised if you get a call tomorrow that it’s at the dealer..

If the tire pressure suddenly showed up, that means it went through PDI - wake up initialization

Maybe it’s badge number #12 ? Just a guess

I'm not sure, but my salesperson said it arrived on 11/21 at the port? He might be misinformed. But let's see who gets their hands on their car first!

I'm actually Norcal! So we will probably be the same.

Oh nice what part? I'm in Sacramento myself. Maybe we should get together and take some pics of the cars together sometime, the more miles added the quicker the fun begins!

Maybe a nice Volk G16 or G25 would look good on the car

To be honest, any dealer with integrity would not try and gouge people just to make a quick buck - I understand it is a tough time for salespeople and dealers alike, but it is also a challenging time for consumers with just everything being more expensive. If some dealers are able to sell the car without having to charge an astronomical markup, then why feel they need to charge 20-30k to stay in business? Maybe they have too much overhead and should cut some of their spending to have a better business model. To be honest, I hope when this whole supply issue is over, that customers will remember this type of shenanigan and will take their business elsewhere.

I know it sounds harsh but I just find it insulting to see these excessive markup. If it was like 1k or something, that would be more reasonable and tolerable, but 20-30, give me a break!
