So, if OKTB hasn't happened but they have been moving cars from the plant, where are they going? Are they at an offsite staging area nearby, or have they been moved much further away waiting for OKTB?

they are all on a boat to Europe where they will sit until they can come back. It's all to taunt the Europeans.

I was already able to send my FordPass profile to my car. My guess is that it’s finished but I’m not sure.
They started production a week ago according to the JSON info

I counted (very roughly) capacity for about ~3500 production cars on the plant lots (excluding employee parking). With some open fields that could maybe be used in a pinch.

Congrats on moving ahead in the process. Looking forward to hearing or reading real world thoughts on the overall experience - from taking possession, to initial setup to driving experience.

They will all know it’s just a ruse. No trailer hitches.

ils sont tous sur un bateau pour l'Europe où ils resteront assis jusqu'à ce qu'ils puissent revenir. Tout est pour narguer les Européens.

Yeah, I was wondering that too. I can't remember quite when, but I think those pictures of cars there one day then most gone a few days later were presumed to be the tour/show cars. I'm thinking that was maybe a month+ ago, but I could be wrong.

There's enough lots and spare room that some shots could still show mostly empty lots while the other side is packed full, but that does seem unlikely (i.e. if they're gonna post pictures, it would seem like they'd show the lot with 1000 cars, if it that existed). Leaving us to wonder if they are moving them to another holding spot to await OKTB? Looks like there should be around 3000 (FCTP+customer) awaiting OKTB now.
