Blue and in Vic is fine for me ??? hopefully they send one to tas ?
We are! District Sales Manager has confirmed that testing and compliance is underway. I reckon the next few weeks will be pretty exciting for many of us.

Man, I'll be honest, I reckon this has turned me off ever wanting to pre-order a car ever again.
After this I'll have my 2 Zeds and dual cab and just switch out the dual cab over and over for another newer one before it gets too long in the tooth. This queuing for a year in the dark and getting fed shit like a fucking mushroom can stay right here with this experience.

Don't get me wrong, there's parts of this roller-coaster I've enjoyed like...seeing West Aussie getting wound up and forcing her dealer dude out of industry (?) or the hilarity of us lot scrambling for a crumb of info like a seagull after a chip but yeah, this forum can be locked up and sealed away in the dark somewhere never to be spoken of again once we get our cars and we shan't ever speak of the misery again ?

I have to wonder.
Are the dealers really in the dark or, just been told not to leak anything on pain of death.
Unless these are all for dealers, they would have VINs and allocations surely?
I’m wondering if on the first at 7pm will Nissan make all allocations live in the system?
Or will we be waiting for a good while yet.
To be honest, haven’t seen any yellow coupes only Protos…which doesn't instill confidence, I’m still hoping if they don’t have yellow but another colour in manual that they offer it to me. I like almost all colours.
It’s going to be an interesting few weeks

The dealer said to me that orders are not built to customer, and that they are using said orders to guesstimate the best combination to make.
If so some may not get the colour or transmission they ordered.
If you miss out you should be permitted to chose from what is available, or choose to wait.
People in line should be accommodated to in order of that line.

You would think that testing and compliance would be complete before a stack of cars arrive.
If they fail, it’s a bit late to send them all back to be adjusted to comply
They are mass produced and not built to order but they certainly will be shipped and delivered to order. If customers deliveries don't match their orders it would be a publicity and legal nightmare.

That’s not actually what I was told.
Was told I’m first on the list and will be contacted no matter what comes through their doors first.
Not saying you are not right…just saying what I was told
A bit like @Ballast Scorcher being offered a auto over manual, with plenty of people in the system wanting a auto proto.
That was corrected due to more protos being made but same same

Jesus, I really hope that your dealer was misinformed. I'm not going to wait around until the exact combination happens to arrive at the right port which then happens to be transported to the right dealership. With 38 build combinations there’s slim odds of that ever working out.
