Hard to find is one thing. Having no way of knowing if they'll ever be able to sell me a car after being one of the first people to put my name on the "list" when it opened is an example of a poorly run business that turns prospective customers into haters. That was the point of my post. Toyota has managed to make me a person who will never buy a Toyota.

Their inability to provide any kind of ETA or even a promise that at some point it will be delivered is the example that their system is broken.

This isn't unique to Toyota. Even the OEMs that give you a date are likely wrong. You think this is bad, try the EV market sometime. Even the all mighty Tesla struggles with delivery dates.

i dont know how anyone can realistically stay on track with the 2030+ ICE phaseouts with all these shortages and backlogs still happening.
Everything's delayed by about 2 or so years, so the ICE phaseouts should also be delayed by that same 2 or so years. |

Dealer texted me today that my 10AE is in “Freight Status” and should be here by 2/15. Getting nervous about them trying to tack on a $5,000 markup even though I was told MSRP when I ordered it.

At some point soon, you'll get an ETA range like "from Feb 10th to Feb 20th." Once you're within a week or so of the "from" date, tell your salesman its time to sit down and iron out the numbers. Better to find out sooner than later.
