It's the date it was scheduled to be built. It's a prediction.

Depends on when during the shift it dropped into production, but it takes about 8 hours from the end of paint/start of trim to the end of final line, based on line rate and assuming no line stoppage due to breakdowns or part shortages.

The body would have started in cab shop a couple days prior to that.

But - yes - within a day or so.
