Do you have vessel departure dates? Given the 3/22 arrival date, I'm inclined to believe your car hasn't been built yet and probably won't be until end of next week, and it'll likely to depart around 2/26-2/28. What if we end up using the same ship?!?!
I was wondering where you were!!! I've been waiting for you to show up in your newbie! LolI was so excited I forgot he said it would be built the same week you mentioned. It better be on the same ship you had!! 😁

I just checked and it is entirely possible that we might both use the same ship. I was on the Andromeda Leader and it left Portland at the beginning of this month and will arrive in Japan on 2/28. So we might be ship mates!

What’s the usual amount of time between build completion and shipping to US/CAN/MEX?

^^ If you have kids, they'll have a great narrative!!

Seriously, that is amazing that you were able to detail the built, transportation and delivery of your car to that level - Don't think I'd have the motivation and ability to do so!!

OK!! It's interesting even after you get a build sheet and other information, details still change.
I just found out production was complete 2/9 and left on ship 2/12. So dang it, we won't be ship mates!!!

Everyone's power? I believe I've watched at least one video where it wasn't power.

Did anybody get an IS500 with a sun shade? LEs in Canada don't get one. I also didn't get that card key thing.

I haven't even looked for the power sun shade. I'll do that tonight. I did get the card key.
