...We get 15 minutes to run down the line and take photos for all the trailers in production, it is a fast process so we cannot take special photos. Over the next few days, we will continue to add more photos as your Escape travels in the main assembly production line. The last set of photos in this stage will show substantial completion i.e., all the systems are installed and fully tested & the main structure and cabinetry will all be in place. This is not the end, after this stage in our main assembly line your trailer will go to storage in our offsite secure storage yard, and then when we wait to prepare for your delivery/pickup. When your delivery/pickup date gets close, we will pull your trailer from storage and complete our Pre-Delivery Inspection and Finalization (PDI). This is where we polish the outside, detail the inside and put all the final touches to your Escape. Final photos will be uploaded to the same link when we complete PDI."
I recall Karl describing this same process in a video, but can't ID that particular one.
In my case, the referenced "delivery/pickup" is already arranged as delivery to Denton TX, as soon as possible upon trailer completion, even if that happens to be before the GCD. That's a function of both trailer completion and the availability of transporter space to the Denton delivery hub.
Maybe worth noting that my build is very simple, no AC, no electrical/solar options. no U-shaped dinette, etc.; most of my customizations are 'subtractive' (i.e. 'delete' items). All of that
may contribute to a slightly shorter than typical production time.
