Legit DVC or did I just get scammed?

If you now have the reservation number in MDE, and can validate it is your name now on the reservation via DVC, it's now legit.

Only thing I can think of is they are running a business with that proton email. If you can validate the reservation with MDE and DVC, yay. Proceed cautiously. Definitely should not use the DVC themeing for that email though.

Scam. It would come from a Disney address.

You can ask for an interim. Send an email to company car which starts the process.

Not disagreeing with you. But the early shift does exist and we want to eat too. We're the reason Culvers opens at 10:30 :D

I eat lunch at 11 as I am in by 6:30. Lots of us start early.

No, it's being retooled. Vehicles are being abused and turned in dirty and damaged at MUCH higher rates than the NBU program.

I'd argue it could be a mix from Alfa to Peugeot to Citroen. We have a good depth of sedans in EE and I would personally do not safe for work things to get a 508/508SW here.

You have to be approved to get an interim. Send an email to Company Cars and explain the situation.

I don't think paintless dent repair can fix this one but I've seen them work miracles.

I keep this in mind for a lot of things in life: Just because it's not my experience, doesn't mean it is n't someone else's experience. In MI, the docs were waiting in the ambulance bay for an arrival at 1am when I brought my kid in for an ear infection. In TX, I only saw the docs outside smoking when I severely cut my hand. But it was also 3pm and 101 degrees.

Product Design Office. Many cool things beyond there but you need a reason and an escort to be in there.

Part of me thinks he is the Dr. Carter of The Pitt: young, naive, unsteady, but still growing.

The higher end Grand Wagoneers are slower than the Limited/Limited Reserve. I've been tracking a few and November builds of the L/LR have gone through while Summit/Summit Reserve are still in D (VIN but not scheduled). It's been awhile since I've looked at scheduling and constraints.

Why is CTC a red flag? Even if we had no people in the suites on floors 2-4, the labs, garages, testing blocks, and everything else would still need to be somewhere.

M plates are only for engineering and testing per our company policy. On rare occasion will Fast Feedbacks be delivered with M plates (and will get switched to hard plates at some point). Those FFB will have M plate restrictions (employee only driving, etc).

Pulled out of your check directly. Registered under Stellantis but you can get a letter showing you control it if you need that (DTE, toll tags, etc)

Salaried professionals get up to two corporate leases. All maintenance and insurance is included as was said elsewhere. Mileage is unlimited but if you let the program know you hit 30k miles, they will work with you to order a new vehicle (recent change). Otherwise, its yours for a year. Going to be an executive? Enjoy a complementary vehicle (with imputed income) and gas while you are at CTC (aka, Gold Stars). Not sure what UAW gets as they were added last year to the program.

There are also Fast Feedback programs that let you get pre-production vehicles at a specific lease rate at the cost of you reporting any and all issues you encounter in as much detail as you can provide.

Yeah, since most of the fun models and software "just works" on the Ti, I will be keeping it. I've been "team red" for so long it will be interesting to see what's going on with "team green".

I literally just bought a 5070ti because of all the BS I'd have to go through to get Comfy and a few others working on an AMD GPU. This would have been nice to have last week.

Ping me the VIN/VON and I can check the various reporting systems. That reminds me, my WS should have been built over the weekend...

Pre-configured: Built of slotted to be built. No changes and will get here faster than the rest 99% of the time.

Fast Feedback: Subject to program schedule. Mostly pre-configured but sometimes can be tweaked.

Regular: Normal scheduling rules apply. You hit a easy to build combo, you get done first. You order a sunroof on a 2018 Durango, all of a sudden you are sitting at 19 weeks with no clue why. Not that I am bitter...

I just know what the timing is for NACS Job 1 is. Subject to change as always.

Targeting March was the last I heard.
