My white RTL-E was ordered on June 21st. Any ideas on how long it will take to come into the dealer?

Sounds like what my dealer said. I grabbed a Pearl White RTL-E with black leather interior pretty much off the truck and the salesman told me, later, that the White/Black RTL-E had quite a long wait as they had not anticipated the demand. Said there was a shorter wait for the White/Tan but even that model might take up to 6-8 weeks at the earliest.
Hopefully, your dealer already had the one you want in their pipeline. You should call them and ask.

Usually a 2-3 weeks, depending on their location within the distribution network.

Definitely was pre-allocated to that dealer.
Congrats on that 'E' White with Black interior. That is what we got and we absolutely LOVE it. Saw the white w/tan leather and were just not struck like we were with the black leather.
Whaaaat? For those of us who have been following all your comments?

I actually prefer beige leather, but not the way it turns blue from blue jeans. That happened in my G35 over a few thousand miles. I swore to never have beige leather again. My brother's 2016 Civic Touring is doing the same. So, black leather it is.

I ordered the BE on June 20th, I called to checked it at the dealer yesterday and said it's arriving on July 11 but they have to QC and should be ready next day.

Wow....glad we weren't thrilled with that tan leather as the wife and I wear blue jeans a lot. We used to own a Toyota Avalon with tan leather and I don't really recall that as an issue; however, that was years ago and maybe they've had to change the dyes or something. I do remember her spilling something on the seats once and it did absorb into the light stitching and make it reddish..fortunately, it was in a fold seam and it was not easy to see...
I think you'll be happy with the black...too bad they couldn't have made the seats ventilated, though, like the Pilot Elite. The leather is perforated, so it seems pretty good and the seats are way comfortable, so I can deal with no ventilation/cooling.

Dry jeans discolor the leather? There must be some way to clean/protect it from becoming permanent.
I have the beige leather. And I wear blue jeans most every day. Do you think having some sort of protection or conditioning put on the seats would prevent the "bluing" you're talking about? Did you have any leather treatment put on your G35?
My leather is perforated. RTL-E. I'll bet yours is too. Look again next time you have a chance.
I ordered my modern steel RTL-E on 6/18. It was built last week and has a delivery date of 7/5. Not sure if this is typical or not, so with my luck there will be a delay, but as of now, that is the schedule.

Ahhh, probably worded it poorly...I did say it was perforated later in the post...It certainly is, and I like that. To bad for $42k they don't have a fan underneath...:frown:

I can't answer your question, but I can give you an example of how long it takes to make it from the factory to the dealer.
I ordered on 6/28, but my order was pre-allocated to an out-of-state dealer that swapped orders with my dealer. It shipped from the factory in Lincoln, Alabama on 6/30, stopped in Birmingham, AL then Kansas City, KS then went from rail to truck in Alliance, TX and was delivered to Tyler, TX 11 days later.
