A quick update on VPI Prime delivery:
Mat expected to be 'caught up' and have VPIs in owners hands by April 1 (his words - see VPI Prime thread on VPI Support Forum). . . Did NOT happen. (to be very clear on this point, I did not expect it to happen - while I can't see the future, I certainly can see the past).
Not surprisingly, others who have posted to the VPI Prime thread are experiencing the same themes as I have been: 1) no direct response from VPI 2) one had a 'guaranteed' delivery date of something like 3/14 and received. . . nothing (to be fair, the 'guaranteed' date was provided by a dealer, not (as far as I know) VPI. That said, I would like to think dealers have a good enough relationship with VPI that they would work TOGETHER in determining a 'guaranteed' delivery date. Seems no dealer has this relationship with VPI. Heck my dealer wouldn't even bother calling them because they expected no definitive / reliable / accurate / truthful response from VPI (based on their past dealings on this exact issue).
The newest offering of an 'excuse' is VPI went from 4 to 12 employees and is considering adding a night shift. Yawn. . .
I know some of the readers of this will think I'm a horrid man for calling things like this out. That's fine. I believe everything stated above is fact, so it's kind of hard to argue to the contrary.Point is, hey, it's just not me by any stretch of the imagination.
Just my opinion, YMMV. . . : )
