Dealer is gonna talk to someone tomorrow and see if they can get it trucked out and change the oil themselves...

Ugh! Maybe that explains why mine has been sitting in "Production Begins" status for 9 days now. Supposedly it will still be completed on the 20th...thank you for this info!

Call the genius line and see what build week you have. It's very simple, you give them your production number, an automated system will tell you your status, then you request to speak to a rep. They will be able to give you a lot more info. I always ask for the following 3 things:
1) Confirm build week (just in case it changes)
2) Confirm status code (112 is production scheduled)
3) Confirm build date

Once you know your build week, it's pretty safe to assume you're going to be in "schedule for production" stage until probably a week before your build week.

Thanks! I've been in status 150 (production started) for the last 8 days. My build week is next week and they've been telling me it should be done on the 19th so I'm pretty excited for that. It just seems unusual that there appear to be so many steps remaining and they're confirming that it will be done on the 19th. As long as it's done soon, none of this is a compliant! I'm just acting like a kid waiting by the front door for a package to show up!

The production started phase can last for weeks, it seems like it is a holding stage until the actual production begins. Once the physical production starts it will pass through quite a few steps in a matter or a day or so.

Production begins could mean they're lining up all the trims and options, etc. I think I read on here that once actual physical production begins, it's in and out in 34 hours.
