I did my MSO spec session in March. Production completion is scheduled for November 27. Delivery end of December or early January. Both dates later than first estimated.
 
I ask that question regarding deliveries because the dealer that messed up my (allocation I thought I had) called me yesterday (new sales person, since last idiot got fired) and was inquiring when I was going to spec my 750. I told him I finally got my deposit back after waiting 3 weeks for it...so I don't (or ever had an allocation) So then he said he can still get me a spider allocation for 2nd round of deliveries as they haven't sold out yet. At this point I'm very apprehensive, and I've spoken to a friend on here that advised me to have him put the order in and have it get accepted by MC. Then wire money. Makes perfect sense from my POV given the shitshow I've been dealing with.

On top of this, I had another dealer reach out about 2 weeks ago saying he as well can get me a 2nd batch car. All of this talk about the car being sold out already for 2 years etc etc seems to be a bit misleading to me at this point. And these two dealers are from VERY big market areas.

I hope this all works out for you Trevor!

I appreciate it. I was demoralized 2 months ago, I don't really care much anymore to be honest. If the dealer isn't willing to submit the spec before deposit, no deal. Not playing the deposit game again. I had money sitting there since November of last year and I just got it back last week.

Ugh, that’s unfortunate. Do yo still have your 720 or did you find someone to buy it?

Wise decision. This would be my way forward too.
 
Here's what I'm going with. As much as it pains me, I'm paying a premium to get Storm Grey (available for free on the 720s). I really wanted to get the Senna seats (they look so badass), but couldn't get myself to do it, after sitting in all 3 options. Doing body-matched headlight surrounds, since it's a fairly dark color. Possibly unlike 99% of people, I'm doing zero carbon fiber.

Here's a few photos of my old 2017 570 GT and Storm Grey was a n/c standard color back then. Its a great color and has a very subtle green hue to it.

I love it! While there are so many greys available now for the 750s, they all have a cold tone (which I don’t care for). Storm seems much warmer to my eyes. My friend has it on his 720s.

What about a 675LT? Or would you consider that a downgrade?

I'd consider a 600LT over the 675. I absolutely love the 600 from every angle (even over 720) But I don't think I'd give up a worry free warranty car for onc that is on creeping up on no warranty period. I like the 675, but I hate the rear of that thing. lol. I do however believe the 675 has the best front end of any Mac.
 
675 would be a lateral move. It’s not as fast or comfortable but it’s more fun and has more drama, as the LT models do.

600LT is largely a downgrade from a 720 except for the drama.
I was thinking that but since I haven’t been able to drive either yet I didn’t know. Thanks for clearing that up.
 
Sounds odd to say but the 720 feels almost like a GT car. It’s just simply effortless in its delivery and demeanour. As a daily this works but for a weekend / canyon car it can feel a little too clinical.

I expect the 750 to be largely the same but with the 765 powertrain - which is amazing if you already like the attributes of the 720. I’m personally on the lookout for 600LT / 675LT or at the right price 765LT. There’s something about the LT cars.
 
I have specced mine it is a spider in white with a black interior and little bits of mso touches to make it unique. I opted for simple as that is my go to, I have used. The delivery date has yet to he confirmed.
