My Mini Cooper SE, has been stuck in the production queue for over 8 weeks, what gives?

I was going to direct you to this thread, Delivery Spreadsheet -- Let's Track These Inbound SEs, but I see you've already posted your same query there. Parts shortages, COVID-19, and poor planning have all conspired to keep people from acquiring a MINI Cooper.
 
I made my deposit on August 18th. How long does it take to get a production number?

It varies wildly but all comes down to your particular dealer. I received my Production Order Number at the same time they submitted my order and took my $1500 deposit. If your dealer has an allocation available it will come quickly. If they are waiting on new allocations you will will wait too.

HOWEVER don't read too much into having a Production Order Number. It seems that those too are sequenced as well and have a fixed position.

I hate to sound frustrated but I am. My MINI has been sitting at "EXTERIOR BODY ASSEMBLY BEGINS" for 41 days now. I had my Production Order Number on June 22 and Production began on July 9. At the end of the day THEY will build the car on THEIR schedule and not care at all about any promises a dealer or their own systems make.
