I'm surprised there hasn't been any word on the US plant considering they are stopping production at 3 other plants. Plus the UAW union was looking at the big 3 US automakers to close due to Covid 19.

Big 3 already closed shops. Anyone else will have to follow suit as auto industry is not considered essential to the economy.

If I were to receive the car in the next week, I would make sure to bring isopropyl alcohol and leather cream to disinfect the car lol covid can linger on surfaces for up to a week.

Be safe y'all!

For now it seems they're open, but hard to imagine they won't be closing soon.

LOL, well all joking aside, that truck ride to the dealer will kill it. Viruses don't survive long in open atmosphere. All those reports you're seeing are from inside homes, etc. (unless you're worried about from the dealer).
