Q & A was informative. Probably not as much as most on here would want but good information nonetheless.
Poor folks in Canada are going to wait a bit longer than USA.

The message has changed a bit though. It was “Your assigned dealer will be in contact with you” but now we’re supposed to contact them to finalize the order…

Not really a problem, just interesting that it changed. Either way, I’m excited for some positive movement. I still haven’t received an estimated build quarter, but last week when I called CS they confined my reservation and preorder we valid and they were still sorting everything out.
I noticed the message change as well. However, in the latest Q&A they said that the assigned dealer will initiate contact, although they did invite customers to initiate contact, particularly to arrange a test drive. I hope folks post in the forum about their dealership experiences. Could make for interesting reading.

Once announced each dealer will have an entry in the link directory where members can comment, review and rate their experiences.

So I read that as Ineos are unable to pull your contact details out of the system and pass them to the nominated dealer.

More software issues or do you have data protection legislation that requires explicit consent for your information to be passed to a third party?
In the latest Q&A, Clark says IA is going to give assigned dealer our info.

Got the same email today In Tennessee

Are you going with ATL? I’m in Nashville and chose ATL. From the phone number listed a few threads back, looks to be attached to Regal Nissan in Roswell, GA.

The numbers to me look like the ones allotted by the shipper for loading and tracking purposes until they're handed over.

May very well be the case but knowing there are few reported Shale Blue orders and that my SB pre-order # is low 3800's (Q4 2023) this gained my curiosity.

I found it interesting that, during the Q&A discussion on US dealer day, Matt Dunnakey uses the phrase "allocated dealer," which he defines as "the dealer that has been allocated to you based on your preferred delivery area." Obviously the word "allocation" in the vehicle dealer/sales context has a specific meaning. I wonder whether this signals any change to the previous promise that we can switch dealers after the US dealer announcement.
