I saw that as well. I'm not sure I buy it if in the same thread MOTS is projecting a delivery date of 18 November for my SFU - yet according to the info that member received production won't start until 10 November. While it's entirely possible, 8 days from production to delivery seems pretty fast. Since JNAP hasn't built a diesel in awhile, I'm OK if my diesel spends a couple of days in quality control before it leaves the plant. Though if you believe several of the stories posted here, QC isn't always up to snuff...
fingers crossed!
Upon further investigation, though, the timeline could work out based on the example below:

I ordered from the DC group buy dealership, so I would expect my SFU to follow a similar route to the Jessup, MD rail yard where it will sit a few days before being trucked to the dealer.
