I hear you, but production didn't really start until October, and the hybrids in November. If you order before production starts, you can't weigh that against them.
Their giving an incentive for the Lincoln places to close. So I think it's only the Lincoln dealerships that will be leaving the space. But I'm not that close to it. You now know about as much as me. Someone on the forum probably has more details.
I've kinda asked this question before, but now that these cars are on the ground, have you asked your dealer to locate your exact spec at another dealership? At $85K, you must be talking about a BL, and there just aren't many BL variables (drivetrain, colors, Jet Appearance). I learned about the '24 Nautilus when the press embargo was lifted last week. I test drove it that day, ordered it the next day, and my dealer swapped cars with another dealer for my exact spec within an hour. I'm under the impression there's a lot of these cars out there right now, but maybe I just got lucky. Dunno.
With due respect, it's not reasonable to say that you've been waiting 8 months. When the car was announced and orders were opened, it was very clear in the press releases and website that the car would start to be available in "early 2024." These cars started to be delivered to customers exactly on the timeframe that they have always claimed.
Rolls Royce factory orders are 6-15 months... Audi is 6-10 months right now and Porsche is 3 months claimed. Lincoln is building and delivering in about 3 months. You ordered during a pre-order period well before job 1 started. Your issue might be that the salesman didn't communicate that to you. Job 1 was 9/6/23 and custom orders don't start until 5 consecutive days of error free builds. First cars arrived in January and hybrids started delivery in February.
That's odd.. mine only said delivered after the sale was complete. it was final prep once it arrived at the dealer. Hopefully they didn't sell from under you.
That's what I said!!! Every time I call my dealer they give me the run around that they will call me back and never do. I finally called lincoln concierge and they confirmed the vehicle states delivered via vinview. I'm so confused. It looks like I will be driving to the dealer this weekend to get answers. I'm so excited and anxious and I knew I had to wait a while but the deal has been done since January all papers were signed sp I hope they didn't sell my car to someone else
Enter your vin into the lincolnway app and see what it says.That's what I said!!! Every time I call my dealer they give me the run around that they will call me back and never do.

Is it safe to enter the VIN into the Lincoln Way app before you have the car? I was concerned that I might be doing something out of order by doing that and screw some of the tech up. Mainly concerned that it would try to connect to the car when I entered the VIN and when it couldn't, I'd mess something up.
Yeah it will just be unavailable. You have to accept in the car to complete registration
Does the app give you car delivery information? Just wondering why you'd want to do this before you get the car.
No nothing of the sort. It should just say its not available. If its previously been registered it may give a different error though.
I entered my VIN into the Lincoln Way app right after I got the VIN, about four months before I bought it. But without connected services, there wasn't much that could be done.
Got it. Thanks. I was just hoping to find a way to know more about which ship my car was on. When I ask my dealer for VINView information I barely get a complete sentence back from them. And it's along the lines of "we'll let you know." Without their willingness to some me the VINView screen, it sounds like I don't have any other options for information.
I did that the day I signed the paperwork but since I don't have the car physically I can't connect to the car. Would be great If doing that would track the location of vehicle
I knew I had to wait but it would be nice to get clearer answers. If they do somehow answer me back it's always an "oh we should get it before the week ends" and Here we are two months later.
You didn't have an 8 month waiting period. The order banks opened at the end of April 2023. Production of the 2024 Nautilus didn't start until mid-September 2023 so you had 4 months of orders ahead of yours.
