Here's a quick reference code: dq40175d

30i
Msport
Dark graphite
Tacora Red
Trim: undecided. The easy choice is aluminum but I kinda want the wood to break up the interior .
Executive tier
Driving assist package
Dynamic handling package
Wireless charging
Front and rear heated seats
HK sound

19" wheels. I like the five spoke design in general and don't really like the 20s.
No spare . I want the small bump/ trunk space.


I think the 30i with the dynamic handling package is the sweet spot. You get the msport brakes and the msport exhaust. Throw a jb4 on there and you have plenty for a daily driver. Save the 10k.
Full disclosure: I have g01 m40i now. It's the wife's daily driver. We have the spare tire with the raised floor. We hate it for grocery trips

Don't see that on the ordering guide or configurator.

I don't think gray poplar would look terrible and if it is smooth I could Get it wrapped in carbon fiber vinyl.

I would go with rhombicle trim, its more sporty and goes better with color of interior.

Production is scheduled to be completed by October 2nd. This was the most recent update on Monday.

However car started production on 9/21.

I think it will be completed tomorrow:

Very disappointed with the level of tracking available.

Best genius could do is estimate completion date but doesn't have access to exact status....

The online garage tracker hasn't moved since 9/21 .

For now, I got the x4 liners in the mail.

(Test fitting on my g01)

So I called the genius hotline today. Same script that I use.

The agent today said the entire assembly process takes like 36 hours including QC. Apparently nothing is delayed, so my car should be completed Tuesday as planned.

Yea I saw the video on youtube that explain the whole process. But it would be great if the online tracking was upto date.

I texted my CA and she confirmed the car was already at the store.
