    Order placed and deposit in! This forum had been very informative and helpful. Dealer predicts May delivery. This will be a daily driver for me.

    I am still agonizing over the last couple of options but my choices are as follows:

    Exterior Tour de France
    Interior Cuoio
    Magneride
    Front grille w/chrome edges
    Giallo brake calipers
    Scuderia shields
    20" silver painted forged wheels
    Sport exhaust
    Yellow rev counter
    Cuoio lower dash
    Cuoio central tunnel
    Cuoio steering wheel
    Cuoio A Pillars
    Cuoio seat backrest
    Regular seats
    Full electric seats
    Special contrast stitching Grigio
    Piping Blu Media
    Prancing Horse Blu Media
    Colored Safety Belts Grigio
    Carbon fiber central tunnel
    Floor mats
    Rear parking camera
    Foldable rear sear backrest
    Aluminum foot rests

    I decided to stick with the standard upper dash and doors. I like the contrast with the Cuioi. I am still considering the Premium sound system but do not feel that it will deliver much value to me. The US visibility package may yet make the list.

    My wife and I just completed a nearly 2,000 mile trip from Michigan to D.C., the Carolinas, Savannah and on to South Florida in an Aston Vantage. It was comfortable but a bit tight after a week. It would have been nice to do it in a California! Maybe next year.

    P.S. DISCLAIMER: I am not worried about resale (have owned a 400i for 32 years), my choices are for my enjoyment only and others' opinions are for entertainment purposes only!

    Congrats Michael...great specs.

    Since it seems like you do some good road trips and probably drive a bit at night, I would get the visibility package which I think includes AFS. You will definitely notice the difference when taking corners at night. Not to mention all the sensors are super convenient when parking.

    Great spec but no LED steering wheel, or is it now standard?

    What are people hearing on delivery timeframes? I placed a deposit last week and it sounds like I'm not going to get a car for almost a year. The Ferrari distribution model is new to me. Are the lead times always highly dependent on local demand rather than national or international demand?

    BTW - nice spec!

    Your lead time will be based on your dealer allocation, then his vip clients who order repeatedly. Ferrari makes about 20 cars per day of which 4 come to the usa, divided by the 40 or so dealers. the 4 also includes all models. California is about 50% of usa sales. so you can do the math. take a deep breath and be prepared to wait and wait and wait. Then a miracle happens, you get a email from Ferrari with the Sonogram of your baby. :) My car is on the water for the longest time, almost all of October, Diana Nyad could have swam faster. As my good friend Jumping John would say you have some dog years in front of you :)

    Would you mind making us all a list of the colors you DO like so in the future you wouldn't have to post your negative reply to each new owner post?

    Congratulations! Tdf with cuoio is one of favorite combinations. Does premium sound include Apple Car Play? If so I would include that if I was getting a T.

    No, CarPlay is additional on top of premium. I thought it was included and then had to add it when I discovered otherwise...
