Completion surprise

Sooo, my completion date has been March 18 for a while. Fast fwd to last Friday and I get an email from ETI saying my trailer entered production and would be completed in 6-8 weeks.. Cool, seems like they are on tract to meet my completion date. I assumed "in production" meant it was in mold or just out of mold.
Fast fwd to 4 days later (Wednesday of this past week) and they start sending me a few pics and say it will be ready in 3 weeks... Pics Thursday and Friday show more progress on the assembly line. I have been off work for the last 4 months due to a health issue and just got back to work a week ago.
I'm not complaining , I was just unprepared for such a move up without notice. I scrambled and got my financing approved and hope to be able to get it delivered in February. I work a month on and a month off. ETI told me they were having trucking /delivery challenges recently so I'm not sure it will be delivered while I'm home and available. They assured me that storage charges wouldn't start until a month from March 18th if we can't get it delivered in Feb..... 1st world problems for sure..

I’m in the same situation. I’m having my E19 delivered to Charlotte in April. I received a call from Sharon on Thursday and was also told that there would be no charge for storage as my completion is March 14th.

Congrats!

Were either of you above in the "potentially earlier / maybe / don't count on it" group from late Dec. 2021?

Or were the completion dates you mentioned above the CDRx.x...(whatever version)

Asking as I had a CDR2.1 of mid 6/2022, but in 12/2021 got in on the maybe / potentially deal, then they set a date of mid 3/2022.

Tomorrow would work!

I wasn't in the early completion program. They offered me a Dec 9 delivery but a throat cancer diagnosis made me turn that down. I just finished radiation 3 weeks ago and am eager to get on with the rest of my life! I got cleared to go back to work on Jan 15th and was looking fwd to my 5.0 delivery. Ill see how it shakes out but would love a Feb delivery, just got surprised by it

I was asked about a Dec. completion but turned it down . Traveling from Maine to Washington and back in December didn’t sound like a good idea.
