Four months! I had to wait 2 days and was quite apprehensive.
Actually, I was quite fortunate.
My salesman called when the first two RCs arrived on the lot. I did not like either one, and was in no hurry. He and I went through the list of all options and configurations and determined exactly what I wanted, what I would like if possible and what options I did not want at all.
After some phone calls, he found another dealer who had exactly the car I wanted who also had a customer who wanted one configured like one of the two that my guy had. They swapped and everyone was happy, especially as swapping between dealers on a hot new model like this is rare, since they generally have no trouble selling whatever Lexus sends them.
Even though I had to pay a few hundred for the extra transportation, I feel quite lucky to have found exactly what I wanted so quickly.
After driving it for quite a while, I am sure you will find it well worth the wait.

I was surprised as well.
I was also glad the dock worker strike on West Coast didn't delay the port delivery. It was projected to be 3/7/15 and it arrived 3/6/15.
