Today I ordered a 2016 F Type R AWD

My dealer received two 2016 Rs Tuesday for other customers who ordered after me. Annoying to say the least. The Corporate Manager from Jaguar told me that my vehicle was flashed with new TCM software yesterday in addition to the Radio software that was the cause of the port hold. They are trying to ship by this weekend. So my guess is to see my vehicle at the earliest, on the 27th after everything is done at the dealer. Looking like almost 3 weeks after everyone else.

yea that's sounds familiar. My dealer told me the same thing about some new software . Hopefully you have yours soon.

Mine was officially "dispatched for delivery" from port today. Dealer tells me 4 - 5 days to get from port in Brunswick, GA to Dallas, TX. (Who is he kidding? I can drive that in a day! Four or Five? Ugh...)
Then of course I have to wait a little more for dealer prep, window tint, and clear bra... It's the final countdown!

The transport truck will likely have numerous stops to make along the way - so it does add to the timetable.

My dealer said it usually takes 2 days (Baltimore to Detroit), but of course mine still hasn't been "dispatched for delivery". B@stards....

Spent just a few days in port. Without digging back in posts or email, I think it got to port on Saturday. (4/11) Dealer said it was inspected and had the software update done. (What port did your arrive at? (Edit.... I see... Baltimore....) Possibly different back logs at different ports?) Brunswick actually looks like a pretty small port. might not be as busy or as backlogged...

Micks41 got his car almost immediately, he was on the same boat. For whatever reason it got pushed to the back of the line and forgotten. I'm suspicious there wasn't a greater problem with my vehicle, perhaps damage that needed to be fixed.

The latest in my saga comes today... Dealer said they heard word from their contact that the vehicle would be "all finished and ready for shipment" on Wednesday of this week. Mind you I was told that the needed transmission software was flashed last Wednesday and that they were going to do everything possible to ship my vehicle by the weekend. Obviously that has come and passed.
I contacted the executive liaison who is currently handling my case, and after calling him three times finally received a call back at 5pm. He told me that my vehicle needed a new Transmission Control Module, and that this was necessary because my current TCM wouldn't accept the flash. Now being in the industry, I know that they would have had modules on hand had new hardware been required for the flash... so this means someone screwed up when flashing my vehicle and ruined the TCM. I'm more upset that they lied to me, telling me the previous week that my car had already been updated when it has clearly not been than the fact that they will now have to dig the original TCM out of my vehicle and replace it.
Moral of the story is Jaguar continues to handle me extremely poorly as a customer. I think its safe to say I'll never order a new vehicle from them again. F&$k you jaguar.

I haven't really considered it until now. I have a very low VIN number, the lowest I've seen so far for 2016. I wanted to keep that, but we're getting to the point where I just want my damn car.

Tell the dealer you want a loaner until the car arrives - the best they have. After repeated delays on our Q7 delivery, we got really cranky with the Audi dealer and demanded a loan vehicle - specially, an R8 V10 Spider in their showroom. They did arrange it, but then magically, the Q7 was delivered 3 days later. (Truthfully, that made all the delays worthwhile!)

Your right, the low vin and the fact you ordered the cars means a lot. Once you get your car all the frustration will be a distant memory.
