[Carac]

Another possibility for why cars that finished first are being released later may be because of how serious they are getting with Quality Check. I've heard from multiple places that QC on the i8 is unlike anything they've done before. They want these cars PERFECT when they leave the factory. Minimal panel gaps, perfect paint, minimal squeaks and rattles (in e-Drive every little noise is more noticeable), etc. It would also explain why they're staying at the factory for so long instead of a hold at the port. Also, the sample size (4-5 US cars?) on this forum is a little small to make any definitive conclusions. I'm eager to see movement on your end as well. We're all past ready for deliveries to start.
