I got this update from another site. My build was originally supposed to start this coming week, as of the November 12 update. Now I am getting this:
As of the December 24th update:

In Production - Trim Line - Flat Rock Assembly Plant, MI - ETA Start Date Jan-28-2016 - ETA End Date Feb-03-2016

I was also able to look up my window sticker. I was surprised to see that it will be shipping via rail since I am only about 6 hours from Detroit....Muscatine Iowa is the dealer destination.

Your car will be in production 4-5 days, then will be released to shipping ,hence the eta range. Rail to whatever ramp ( Should be on sticker), then truck to dealer. These are projected only. Good news is they seem to be holding better to it now that production has been running for a few months. Trim is near the end of the line, so your car has been sitting there enjoying the holiday break !:ford::cheers: Coming soon ! The wait is bad but the car is so worth it.

Here is what the inside source at another site said:
"Your car has a Scheduled Build Date of January 4th. The fact that it's on the Trim Line indicates that it will be completed tomorrow. Trim Line is Final Assembly. There are three steps during a build process. 1 - Body Shop, where the body is assembled. 2 - Paint Shop, where it's painted. 3 - Trim Line, where the build is completed. The ETA's are the time frame that the car will arrive at the dealership."

So it looks like my build is ahead of schedule! I started talking to dealers 14 months ago and had my first "MSRP" deal blow up because the dealer was lying about getting me the car for MSRP. I got lucky and found another MSRP deal from a more reputable dealer a week later and signed on the dotted line on June 4th. The next few weeks might seem longer than the previous 14 months!
