Thumbs up NC PLANT Employees

Any employees on here that work in the Plant in Spartanburg NC. I know on my wifes Toyota the plant in Canada Assembly workers are on the Rav4 sites.Just like to get some info that many of us here in USA are curious for. If so my question is when they state Veh is in production and in build how long before it gets to the assembly line for the parts are installed. In production i assume thats where the welding of the frame for veh is welded together and then moves to Build.Anyone working at the plant have any answers if your on here.It be nice to know from the workers about input
Thanks
jerry

In Production means your car is being built. Time frame from order to finished product waiting for transport shouldn't be more than 10 days depending on the dealership slot. It only takes a couple days to get delivered from SC to DC and I would expect a couple days more to Long Island.

They must be getting backed up. We ordered a X3 28d over two weeks ago now and still don't have a production number. The dealer we purchased at usually is really fast too.

That's a decent amount of time to still not have gone into production. I've got the VIN and all, just waiting for production to end.

According to my salesperson, it was supposed to end production on Friday the 4th. I'll have to check to see where it's at, but my guess is it finishes this week sometime.

Mine X4 finally went into production...supposed to be done by Sept 12th.

Then it will take forever and a day (seemingly) to be shipped to Northern Cal.

Are you checking online or the 800 number? The 800 number is more timely. Or call your CA and have him look online. That's the most timely source of information.

That would be sweet. My expectations have been the last week of September. I'm in Texas so not to far away but the dealer told me that usually takes a month from beginning to end. Any earlier though, I will surely accept. Along as the extras that were included in part of the deal are there.

Could be.

Note that while the actual assembly of your X3 only takes 40 hours, the production process takes much longer. There are a lot of logistics which have to be worked out in order for the just-in-time parts for your X3 to arrive in the right place, in the right style, and at the right time for your 40-hour assembly.
