• I called SOA yesterday (November 30) and was given the VIN along with the official delivery date of December 12

Assuming that their system updates statuses (VIN assignments) on a frequent schedule, and assuming that the delivery date is accurate, it could be said that in my case, the longest amount of time possible from VIN assignment to delivery would be 20 days. I understand that that contradicts what @Tcoat has stated with regards to minimum times between VIN creation and delivery, but if the aforementioned assumptions are correct, that's how the math works out.


It is also possible that it could be a shorter window than 20 days, but that seems like a stretch. All I know is what I have stated above. Take it for what you will.

Finally somebody has a VIN!!!!! That is really the key to the whole process. It is a minimum 20 days to get it here so that means your car must already have been built and in the shipping pipeline when the VIN was assigned to you. There is no miracle shipping methods to get it here faster. Maybe you will be the first. It is a bit odd that yours is on the way and practically everybody else has been told theirs is pushed out.
