I placed my order with Crest Cadillac in Plano on April 1... Been sitting at 2000 ever since, though I've been told it'll be a 2026.
While waiting, I was scouring the new inventory to see if anything came available sooner and I found something interesting... Of the 67 manual transmissions available or "In transit" in the US, 18 of those are the Le Monstre package. There's 31 total Le Monstre's in transit right now- of the 101 total production.
My theory: the factory prioritized production of the Le Monstre package since it involves a number of unique changes- especially the paint. Basically, they're building them all at the same time so some (or all) of the production right now is that package. And the rest of the allocations got punted (or significantly delayed) until after those are complete.
Tin-foil hat theory or....?
