A moving DDE is a good thing. Mine moved every day this week one day at a time, then I recived the "C" status email. Good luck!

Based on a general observation, the earlier date of the DDE is the "magic day", or very close to it.

(In smart lingo, that's the actual assembly date. And that may explain that the DDE moves so often when a vehicle is getting closer to its "magic day", then stays steady once the date has been finalized.)

Add the usual across the Atlantic two-three weeks, add an extra week for the West Coast, the roll-off and inspection week, and the aggregated trip to your assigned dealerships (two-four weeks), and you have a good idea of your delivery.
Does this make you happy?
Of course, this is absolutely and totally conjectural!

The poster declines any responsibility as to the accuracy of said dates and delays beyond anyone's control... and all sorts of serious disclaimers...
