I don't think so.. I think WildFord was like 20 before me in the 1718 group and he got the "Built". Also had 360+ so that isn't a factor either.
Just so everyone is aware, they try to build the vehicle complete. Meaning if they have 200 chips in inventory, they will align the production so the first 200 get those chips. I’m assuming their batches come in weekly or less. If a few batches are delayed, they move production around to make things work. They try to keep the line moving so just because the car before you got built, it doesn’t mean they have or don’t have all the same options. Just means they ran out as yours came through.

Someone stated they don’t schedule or start until all the parts are there. That’s not the case, they have inventory plans that expect parts on certain days. If they don’t get there, depending on what part it is, they rearrange the builds or in the case of these chips, may build without with a plan to add later. That normally isn’t done in the same spot on the line. It’s done completely separately.

I’m still “in production”. 1697/2332. I think that latter number (2332) represents the amount of cars they’re building that day.

After 23 years in the Military and 30 Years working on the Space Shuttle I have become accustomed to 'Lowering my expectations'.
Thank you for your service, Sir! ??

As someone who has spent a good chunk of my career in manufacturing - it's likely true and the sad truth from our perspective when it comes to this level of automation and volume. The Auto world is notorious for it too - planning out sometimes months based on promised delivery dates. There can be major consequences to vendors for missing dates for this reason.

A build plan is done long before these vehicles see the line and is too hard / expensive to interrupt that for a single/small number of lots - it will just have to get integrated in when they can make it work.
