It seems like workers are allowed to leave their homes.
Imagine when this guy gets laid for the 1st time ??
Same here ordered and expecting about a 3-4 month wait.
You may have a different pipeline if you order not direct from Toyota, but Toyota (not a dealer) told me it's been pretty consistently 6 months for orders (particularly direct orders). Mine took about 4.5 months to be built, now begins the waiting game for the boat, train, and truck
I did the exact same to get my '22I got my '22 in October. Out of the limited color options, I was committed to Turbulence Grey. I wanted a 3.0 Premium with Driver Assist Package (I think all premiums have this) and trunk mat. A front license plate bracket was a dealbreaker. All other options were fine.
My Mazdaspeed Miata had a pretty bad issue so I was in a bind, driving a rental costing me hundreds per week. I called every dealer in my area and every dealer in cities where I have close friends.
Dealers can send spec sheets of cars that are coming to their area. The tricky part was figuring out which dealer the car is actually allocated to. Normally, a dealer has no problem giving and allocated vehicle to a neighboring dealership, but for '22 Supras, they refuse.
I had to put down deposits at multiple dealerships to confirm my sincerity (deposits are refundable if they aren't linked to a VIN) and I ended up finding one heading to Ohio. The first dealer I was working with tried for a full week to get the allocation from "a friendly dealer nearby", but they weren't able. This goes against normal business practices, but we had good rapport, so I asked the saleswoman to text me the name of the dealership that the car was allocated to. She obliged, so I got in touch with them and they were happy to sell the car to me. Oh, for $5k over MSRP. I told the dealer that I'd go $1k over MSRP (still burning money in my rental) and they said it was a deal. I booked a one-way flight for the weekend of the estimated delivery. The car came in right on time and they got the dealership stuff done in a few hours and the nav activation overnight. I flew in, stayed with a friend and we picked it up the next morning.
I had a nice 6+ hour drive home the next day. It was a good way to get a big chunk of break-in out of the way and to spend time learning the systems. Also, I called all the other dealerships that I had a deposit at, and they all refunded me promptly.
I stayed organized and proactive, and I think it was a good experience.
I have the white and red interior 3.0 Premium.

Had a TRD Pro 4Runner take 3 months ish from build to delivery but overseas factory obviously adds a step in between everything.You may have a different pipeline if you order not direct from Toyota, but Toyota (not a dealer) told me it's been pretty consistently 6 months for orders (particularly direct orders).

Are you saying that you paid $145,000 USD for your Supra?!
