I never thought they would "sell" the LEs first before shipping Premiums/Bases; logistically seems hard because some dealers might move their LE immediately while others (more than likely with huge mark-ups) sit for a while. I know the Car and Driver article stated this would be the process it just seems too hard to control.All launch models should have been at their selling dealer on July 22 if that is the date set by Toyota. Press releases stated other models would arrive as early as the end of August. Those models are now at dealers while the first 1500 launch models are still in transit. Launch models were supposed to be the first sold then non launch per press. Not sure why this is happening. Dealers that are farther away from ports should have been allocated first so they would get their cars by the date Toyota states. Dealers closer to ports would have less of a delay from port to dealer ship time. Looks like dealers near ports getting theirs while dealers that require longer transit time don’t have theirs. Makes no sense logistically.
Saw on some sticker prices from YouTube vids that some launch models didn’t even have a dealer address on them. Selling dealer was shown as a region and address was “show car”. Shipping 1500 cars to dealers by a set date Toyota released should not be this difficult.
Secondly --- the thread with the LE VINs --- there are 1544; are those 44 extra? Press? RND? Wondering how this is the case since they have numbered plates.
