Order Status

You should have plenty of time to change the spec, your dealer should reach out to you before it locks so you can confirm everything.

For the Portofino M I ordered this was the timeline:

deposit and full spec submitted 3/27/21

order accepted and full spec showed up in the MyFerrari app within a week, but the picture was not correct (not even a Portofino M), listed as "waitlist'

build slot allocated 2/23/22 and I confirmed spec with the dealer

From the MyFerrari App:

VIN assigned 4/16/22
first photo 6/1/22
second photo 6/8/22
third photo 6/11/22

Confirmed with the dealer that it was shipped out of Italy 6/9/22, probably on the Chicago Express, eventually headed toward the Port of New Jersey / New York. I still show as "waitlist" in the MyFerrari app and expect it to say that until I pick up the car (optimistically hoping for August, but I think the port is incredibly backed up).

Congrats on ordering the 296,

Rob

 

Don't do be concerned about the app. When you ordered, the dealer input all the options in MODIS. In my case, it was printed out and I signed out. Check with your dealer and ask for this to be certain.

 

Pretty much both. My understanding is the dealer gets a certain number of allocations from the factory each month, per car. They then look at their orders to fill them. During the height of the pandemic my sales advisor said he was getting five total allocations each month, as things got better he was getting 15. From following Portofino M orders most dealers mostly fill orders in the order they were taken. I assume some dealers will move higher priority clients up the list when needed, but the people I talked with who ordered six months before me got their allocations six months before me and their cars delivered six months before me.

A lot depends on how many allocations your dealer gets and how many people (and who they are) are ahead of you on the list.

 

In my limited experience, this sounds about right. The only thing that's going to vary dramatically by dealer is the number of allocations.

Ferrari HQ always has the ability to connect a name to an allocation and push delivery to any dealer worldwide. So in that sense, Ferrari HQ ultimately has the power to move anyone to the top of allocations should they choose.

Aside from that, it's just a matter of patience for the dealer to get an allocation when your name finally reaches the top of the list.

 

On the app it will remain as waitlist for the status all the way until it’s delivered and signed for. Once it’s delivered it will be date of purchase. For now you just need to be concerned with when it goes 10R in modis which only your dealer will be able to tell you. At that point the spec is locked and it will begin production “soon”.
