Not for now. I might get the heated steering wheel down the road but I don’t need it for the summer. Tried to negotiate the price of install of the heated steering wheel with the trade in I was doing but they weren’t having it so I said f it. I’ll buy it from someone else.

And for everyone's benefit, here's one of the big problems with the dealership model--inconsistencies in the buying experience, not just between regions/states/dealerships, but from one salesperson/transaction to another.

We both bought from Acura Columbus, and on Monday I got them to sell/install accessories essentially at cost (though I honestly haven't ruled out this being a mistake on the salesman's part), but they weren't willing to negotiate on accessory price whatsoever on another transaction yesterday. Not a good look for Acura.

Just a bump since my dealer finally gave me a "very tentative date." They are claiming LCM/Red won't go back into production until 7/24. I know that contradicts what others on the forum have heard, hope they are right and my dealer is wrong, but wanted to pass it on. They said it was supposed to be built last month but Acura didn't give them an explanation for why it was pushed. They also warned me that even the 24th is optimistic as "one of the parts suppliers was closed for a few weeks so that may have put a damper on things."

I’m am getting increasingly annoyed (and I’m sure I’m not the only one) whenever I see others take delivery of white ITS’s (I think it’s the Canadian market?) mainly because I do not feel like the “pre-order” means anything at all. I’m happy for those people, just really feel let down with the delay and radio silence from Acura.

Keep in mind it was a "reservation system", not technically a pre-order--you're reserving a car to be delivered to the dealer of your choice so you can have the first shot at buying that particular vehicle. It's an extra allocation for the dealership (a win for them) and a way for you to beat the crowd (assuming you weren't already at/near the top of the list).

I'll be the first to admit that their marketing of these being "the first 200" was misleading/inaccurate, but the Terms & Conditions for the reservation process gives Acura a lot of wiggle room for how they fulfill these reservations.

Good point. Which makes it even worse. Even sales people at dealerships emphasize the excitement of being one of the first to own the vehicle. TBH, I don’t mind waiting or not being the first. What bothers me is the silent treatment after taking my deposit. This isn’t the Cybertruck for crying out loud

Agreed 100%, it's really the poor communication and inconsistency. I had to wait weeks to even find out I got an allocation even though they took my $2k... Then to hear its on its way then, whoopsie, it's gone, don't worry, you will get it eventually, maybe, probably? Here is an email that it's at the dealer, and they didn't even bother to correct it...

Even now, my dealer would only tell me my color combo is going into production, they won't even say that MY car is one of them, because they can't until Acura provides the VIN.

So. My dealer is saying that if the car was actually built this week it would be delivered within a week. Saying this is the typical shipping time once they receive a VIN.

Im trying to get an update from my dealership. I got VIN for my unit since 06/21 and I was able to look up that VIN on 07/10 and it shows correct information (Type S with LCM). I believed my car is already build just don't know where is that at currently. Hoping my dealer have insight and will get back to yall if there is an undate.

I am sure this is all frustrating to those who put $2000 down and get radio silence. . .I'm very fortunate that I got to purchase my dealers demo for a very fair price, no deposit, no waiting, no markup.

I am assuming with the reds rolling out today, we LCMs got screwed yet again Maybe next week....

Rub it in, why don't you

Just kidding! Super happy for you and I'm glad you're not experiencing the same frustrations as some of us.

I was just on the phone with my salesman at Acura of Austin North. Production of my LCM pre-order was slated to end today (new build date of 7/10-7/14). Delivery ETA 7/28-8/3. He acknowledged there was an earlier build date previously but did not know why it was pushed back.

Same build dates I was given..
I know some stated the plant was on shutdown the last 2 days. Hopefully the LCM were still built this week.
