Lesson learned based on my personal experience, it may vary or not apply to everyone at all. First, what I was told by DS as far as delivery goes seems to be true, does not matter where in North America you order the car, they will time it so you will get your car more or less on the same day, so yes, east coast bound cars will almost always get into production first but they will be delivered at the same time as west coast bound cars. It appears that your DS has the latitude to move up or down your production/delivery schedule within reason. Do not be too concerned with the status update on the website especially the VIN thing, in my situation, they were never up-to-date, in my case, even when the car was sitting in the delivery center it still said in production, and when I had my car sitting in my garage it still said in transit to delivery center. If there is a database trigger to update status of your car, I believe it is not directly to the webpage but rather message to someone, that someone would have to manually update it. The most important thing is to have good communications with your DS and OA, BTW, your OA is your best friend, more so than anyone else. Also, if you want to de-badge your car to get a clean look, make sure you tell your OA ahead of time so it can be arranged to be done at the Service Center after you pick up your car. Last of all, the car is amazing though a bit long for my taste.
