Just an update for anyone who has a 2013 X on order...

The vehicles are being built this month. In looking at the information I have been provided so far, it appears that PRODUCTION will be rolling by the third week of April.

However...

In communication with the PDC, it appears that they have an EPA/CARB hold for the 2013 X model year. The hold has to be cleared before they can DELIVER the vehicles. (My delivery will be through the PDC, but they have the same restrictions as dealers). So while its nice that they will actually be PRODUCING the vehicles pretty soon, the question becomes how long they will have to sit around before they can be DELIVERED to customers. I'm trying to get more info on whether they have to go through this every model year, how long it typically takes to get EPA/CARB approval, and if anything special is going on this year which could be slowing down the approval process.

Hopefully, this is nothing...

However, I wonder if family visits are permitted if my newborn car has to be put in EPA/CARB Jail for a while!
