    In September 2017 I ordered a 488 Spider - the dealer has no info on the delivery of the car - is there any way to track the progress. My ferrari.com has a red highlight "Production photo" but nothing shows when engaged. Any thoughts?

    So the dealer hasn’t told you it is red 10 yet? Red 10 is start of production where the build is locked in.
    You can put an order in but unless the dealer receives an actual allocation it hasn’t started. If your dealer has no information on the delivery of the car it is most likely not in production. The dealer gets production stage updates as its being built and shipped.
    The production photo is sometimes very delayed . I received my production photos 3 months after I received one of my cars.

    I received the photo of production of my car when it arrived at the port in New Jersey. I had a similar experience till it was gettting close to delivery. I think it is very common.

    I just placed an order for a June 2018 build 488 spider.

    With the August vacation coming into play, when should I expect to receive the car?

    My thread of the process:
    https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/488-spider-and-now-the-wait-begins.554565/

    Ordered June 2017...now on US soil. Likely delivery to West Coast first week of April 2018. 9-10 months end-to-end is what I have seen as "usual" with some shorter and some longer.

    Less than 6 weeks to dealer, if my recently completed order is an indication. Took about 4 weeks to hit NJ from the completion date, and another 8 days to my dealer. (I'm in FL as well.) Got my 488 Spider delivered to me first week in December 2017.
