Wow! You guys are checking the JSON Response from their API. Interesting. I believe it's the tentative start date. No way to finish the production by next month when you just got the VIN number this month.
Edited: CorgiCanoe says prodDate is the end date of production.

Aww it was the same way for me for a while. I ordered on 3/6 in California. Finally they were able to provide me with additional info last week when I called.

The prodDate field is the date of completion. Mine was 4/19 and my car was finished yesterday, 4/19. It's now sitting at the Southhampton port.

COOOL! Sounds like it is the end date of production.

My only choice was to stop by the dealership unannounced. MA showed me “the screen” — no idea what it’s called, but harks back to the days of terminals and DOS, green text on black, emulated on his Windows display — and there’s no VIN, and the “Prod” field just says “5 - 2022.” 
So much for being part of the dealership’s “April allocation.”

Just got my production number! Cannot see a production date using the super-secret but will be obsessively checking daily now! I am also seeing the alarm system credit and the heated steering wheel credit but was expecting that. The one thing in my initial build sheet and the latest my MA sent me is the "4AA Headliner in Anthracite" is not on the newest one. I am hoping that is just due to that being the default now.

If you’re in the US you can call MINI USA and they will give you the build week. Mine is scheduled for the week of May 9th and it updated from “scheduled for production” to “production begins” on Tues 4/19.

I can also confirm the super-secret date was accurate for my build and reflects the scheduled production completion. The actual production of the car seems to start about 2 days before the scheduled completion date. My completion date got pushed out twice, once from 4/20 to 4/21, then 4/21 to 4/22. Both changes happened in the week leading up to today. It's now 4/22 and the car has been dispatched from the factory and I assume is on it's way to the port. Now comes the hard part...waiting 2 months for the boat to show up in California...I'm debating if I really want to go down the path of tracking the boat!

Looking on the back end of the My Mini Garage website, it appears my 2023 BRG Sig is going to be completed on May 5th. My vehicle is being purchased at Mini of Alexandria, and is coming into the port of Baltimore. Am I correct in seeing that shipment is usually taking about a month after completion to be ready at the dealership? That seems to be pretty consistent so far even these days.
Sounds about right. The biggest variation is how long you wait at the UK port. Mine finished production right around the first of this month and is now at the Baltimore port having rolled off the Olympian Highway yesterday. Based on the data in the spreadsheet I expect I will be driving it home from Alexandria in a week or so. So almost exactly a month for me.

Cool. I'll be getting back to DC from Central America on the 9th of June, probably just about the time it'll come in.

Thanks, I will give that a try.
Just FYI to all, I contacted my MA and he added back the option code 4AA. No clear why that fell off but it is back now.
I am actually pretty bummed about the lack of alarm option. I honestly don't care about the anti-theft aspect but the acoustic lock/unlock confirmation is going to be missed. I supposed since the car is now keyless I would be locking it by taping the door handle which would mean I would be touching/looking at the car when it locks I may be good with the visual flash instead.
Anyway, still excited for my SE!

It's so simple to press the button on the door handle to lock/unlock that I don't miss the acoustic confirmation at all. I've used the fob to lock only a few times and never to unlock.
The image of your Island Blue SE looks gorgeous! For the 2022 model year, the only way to get Island Blue was to select the Electric Collection package and the Electric Collection Power Spoke rims didn't include an Energetic Yellow stripe around the circumference like the ones for the Iconic SE. Does MINI offer those stripless rims as an option in 2023 or were they a single-year/single-package thing?
I really like how the Energetic Yellow stripe on my Power Spoke rims complements the yellow mirrors, grille blades, and MINI-E logos on my Moonwalk Grey 2021 SE. I like them so much that I put them on my SE only one day a year--yesterday's Drive Electric Earth Day event was that day. I've returned them to their honored spot in basement now and my everyday Loop Spoke rims are back on the car. The Power Spokes are now again safe from the greedy curbs in my town.
Do you know about the balancing accessory BMW had to create for the Power Spoke rims? Because the asymmetric wheel cover can't be on the wheel when the wheel is on a balancing machine, this accessory simulates the weight of the off-center part of the wheel cover. In the photo below I pointed out the part number in case you want to order one. If you don't get one of your own, you will have to always have a MINI dealer's service department balance your wheels after tire changes.
Buy two and you can make a unique SE fashion statement:

Good to know. This should mitigate the loss of the alarm for me. I would love it if they at least pre-wired the car though so it could be retrofitted easier in the future but I doubt that.
These were the only option for the Power Spoke wheels on the 2023 configurator. I also like the yellow stripe to add a "pop" with the other yellow accents. I was/am on the fence about the yellow mirror caps to be honest. The mirrors are so big the yellow is quite "loud" on them. With the white roof the caps match up nicely. I may grab a set of yellow caps in the future though and swap them on to see.
I did see those in my forum travels. I will likely pick one up from ECSTuning or elsewhere to have on hand for future tire replacements. I does seem odd that Mini would not include this tool in the car with these wheels since it is such an necessary thing but I can understand the very unique nature of these wheels may make it tricky.
After a quick experiment with Photoshop (ie. not a perfect Energetic Yellow match), I think you made the right decision to go with the white mirrors to match your white top.
