Interesting that they are still using air freight. When is this due to stop?

At the end of signature 100. Then it's slow boat to CA.

They have mentioned that they may offer air freight as an option for owners who wish to pay the extra for the expense. I forget how much more you would have to pay, $7000?

Currently, they do take the cars to Moffet field to test each car after installing the drive train. I too hope they end up adding a track to the new San Jose facility.

How do they get permission to use Moffett as a test track?!

donauker

Any connection here?

That arrangement appears to be controversial...

They haven't announced a price, just an intent to offer that option. At the Seattle-area owners meeting in September, they made an off-the-cuff estimate of between $3,500 and $7,000, but that wasn't a commitment. Hopefully they will announce details soon as I expect the first gliders beyond the Signature 100 will roll off the line in Hethel some time this month.

I just found Adam Beguelin's blog, apparently the owner of Signature 100 #97. He makes this claim:

BTW, last week they delivered 17 Roadsters, two over the target of 15. They have now delivered around 50 or so of the Signature 100.

Zak said they had delivered about 50 cars total as of Nov. 4, so about 27 cars in two weeks. That's a pretty good rate!

That is great news! I hope they can sustain that momentum!

So that means that there will be about a 6 week lag time coming up soon on deliveries right ? between the sig 100's and the rest of the pipeline ....
