Been stuck on Status 182 (Released to Carrier) for the last 8 days - anyone have an insight as to how long this step in the process normally takes?

sars thanks, sounds like original delivery date of 14th feb will slip then - I must learn to be more patient (he says after pinging the Genius team for an update for the second time today!)

Yes still showing as Released to Carrier - both dealer and Genius giving me the same status. As long as it’s here for beginning of March I’ll be happy tbh!
Called in at my Dealer today for a chat with the Salesman (and to have a look at the order screen in the flesh so to speak); I had a few questions for him as follows:-
1. Order status: still at 182 and still due in with them week 7 (w/b 14/02/2022) so handover some time after that
2. Handbook paper or digital: both, a printed one is supplied
3. Price fixed as at order date with no increase: yes
4. Finance agreement as at order date: yes and still at 2.9%
5. Missing options: he seemed unsure of this and wasn't convinced by my VIN decode (see earlier post), confirming £500 rebate if no touchscreen
6. Insurance: told that they don't need to see a cover note so I could, in theory, drive it away uninsured; pretty sure you used to have proof of insurance for initial registration, maybe things are different now but it seems odd not to enforce this on a new car
So all looking good apart from my impatience to get my mitts on it!

Correction, mine now at Status 9000 - so on the way from factory to Port of Exit according to Genius team. They have however pushed delivery date back a week, now showing sometime w/b 21st Feb.
I think it’s the light, however that photo shows the Red off really well, but not the wheels. I’m absolutely in love with the colour of my winter wheels thoughq96169we said:[ref]sars[/ref], why I keep feeling the cerium grey on your car is more vivid than on my car? Mine looks dull and indeed grey instead of gold-ish
