How long does it usually take to pick up a new car after placing an order?

Generally, you can pick up the car within a month after placing the order. Here are some precautions during the break-in period of a new car: Avoid high-speed driving: Try not to let the car's speed reach 120km/h, as this can help maintain the engine's performance and prolong its lifespan. Avoid overloading: Placing overweight objects in the car during the break-in period undoubtedly puts pressure on the vehicle. Overloading often requires frequent gear changes, and the constant shifting between high and low gears can be very detrimental to the engine. Avoid driving on extremely poor road conditions: Driving on very rough roads during the break-in period causes significant wear to the tires. Moreover, prolonged driving under such conditions forces the engine to operate at high power continuously, which is bound to cause damage.
I recently ordered a new car, and the delivery time usually ranges from 1 to 6 weeks, but many factors can affect it. If the model you chose is in the dealer's current inventory, you might be able to drive it away within a week. For custom orders, like adding a sunroof or a special color, the factory has to produce it from scratch, often taking 1 to 3 months. Popular models like SUVs or new energy vehicles take even longer due to high demand and limited production. Transportation is also a big issue—domestic cars may take about two weeks from production to delivery, while imported cars can be delayed for months due to customs clearance and other procedures. My advice is to ask the salesperson for an estimated date when placing the order and check the progress weekly to avoid misunderstandings. The season also plays a role—year-end promotions often mean more stock, so delivery might be faster. In short, planning ahead can help reduce anxiety.
