That’s because it has to go through Melbourne. It’s a dogs breakfast down here.
Unfortunately I think you would need to add another few weeks onto that schedule - Melbourne is RO RO hell at the moment.

On the move and only 4 days until it anchors off Melbourne for 2 weeks.

Once unloaded I presume it has to go through the "fumigating experience" is there a hold up there?
looks like we are going to have a "grenadier delivery race". I'm in production and the dealer is confident that it won't be long now cos Hambach is double shifting, Saying reassuringly with optimism! Anyway well before Christmas this year, ur.... he's confident it should be on a 73 plate (changes March 24), stay positive is his vibe..

Does this intel come from the dealer?

They’ll have to increase their output… 10 months of production so far and only up to VIN numbers in the 5000’s… with some current Aus car deliveries still sub-1000.

Plus the Americas insistent that they’re getting their cars (5000/year) by Q1/2024

Something to chew on about build and delivery. I purchased a L663 on 6/24/20. The allocation was picked up in July and I picked it up in Seattle on 10/5/20. So 3 months door to door. I would figure Ineos might be 4-5 months door to door.

Yes, the dealer implied the aim was to clear the MY23 model orders to start the NA spec and the 24 models.

I think you might have your 3 and 7 mixed up @DaveB unless you meant nautical miles not kilometers.
