Do you see more dots when you scroll that production stage bar? There should be a total of 16 stages.

If exterior body assembly began today, it may lag 1-2 days behind, that means your car is in production. Expect it to complete in 3-5 days.

FYI, what you saw before was stage 150 which is "production begins" but it hasn't actually hit the factory floor yet. 150 means they are scheduling parts, etc... to build your car. At the 150 stage the car is locked and no changes can be made. This stage can be 1 week before body assembly begins.

Then, if all is good, once the build completes, it waits for transport to the port (usually by railcar). Then it waits at the port for a ship to NA. (a few days - up to 2 weeks)

Once it arrives at the VPC, if the car is Priority 1 (sold), it should get through the VPC in 3-5 days. After VPC clearance, it will be released to car carrier for trucking to dealer.

Then its up to dealer to deliver to you.
