    Zero update on my custom ordered Pista. Nada on website/dealer.
    Missed the entire year, clearly.

    I think I can sympathize with you. It seems that the lack of information, added with the interminable waiting creates a malaise that is difficult to explain. Mine sat at the port for nearly five weeks with no word on the status, while other cars that showed up AFTER mine were delivered to places that are on more regular truck routes this time of year. When we finally got word that the car was going on a truck, I don't know who was happier; me or my dealer. Sales commissions are important, especially at Christmas time...and it puts the lie to the theory that Ferrari was holding all its December cars to juice the delivery numbers for January. Anyway Dustman, here's hoping that the dam breaks soon and you get word...

    I was told last week by the dealer there is also a replica model car and a lithograph. Only have the key box as you have. Seems they have no issue supplying key boxes but the good stuff can take a while to surface it would appear.

    If I’m not mistaken, the key box is introduced as a “you have a gift” email on the myferrari portal.

    do the model and lithograph require any action to receive? Or is it just waiting for delivery and hoping the dealer doesn’t “forget” to pass them on to the client?

    Not sure the replica model car still is done. I never received one for my Portofino
    . All previous cars before that I did get the replica.

    Wow SoCal...looks fantastic. Looks like it's right at the back of the store there in Scottsdale, pointing outward and rarin' to go. Many congrats on a stupendous spec. Enjoy it in good health and prosperity. Can't wait to hear your observations.

    Looks like I'll be picking mine up on Friday morning. Feeling the vicarious joy for your delivery right now, though. Hopefully we can can meet up in the Valley sometime and compare notes. :)
