That's ages franky.
We haven't been given a time but the landscaper is giving it some more time due to cooler weather before they lay the grass etc.
Though as kylz said.... we were previously told 4 to 5 days.
Are you sure he didn't mean 6-8 "days"?.
Concrete reaches approx 2/3 of it's strength at 7 days and 90% strength at 28 days (roughly speaking - there are lots of variables which can shorten or extend this timeframe).
Keep in mind that you don't need the concrete to be at full strength in order to drive on it - full strength concrete will take much, much higher loads than a normal passenger car.
Just to be safe, we kept cars off our driveway until 14 days and then didn't put trucks on it until 21 days. 60+ days later and there is no sign of cracking or settlement anywhere.

I'm with Clint. Except that I drive on them with a car @5-7 days and I think that's fine. It's just the big heavy trucks you don't want on it for about a month.

Your best bet might be to go visit the display homes and walk around in them, and take photos. Get a feel for it in person instead of deciding from the floor plan. There…
