Custom Build - Dealer Information vs. MyBMW

Riddle me this... I've been tracking my custom order 2020 BMW X5 and it finally says 'AT THE DEALERSHIP.' I called my dealership and they said that in their system, it still says 'AT PROCESSING CENTER,' which he clarified means the vehicle just got off the boat (at port?). This is where I was confused, since I know all X5s are manufactured in Spartanburg, SC. He said that due to COVID-19, they closed the plants down, and moved production to Germany, so some X5s are being delivered across seas. My understanding was that yes, the Spartanburg SC plant was closed, but re-opened early May, which explains the delay in deliveries. I had no idea that they moved production of X5s to Germany. He also said that sometimes MyBMW can update information prematurely.
