Default Bayed

maybe this has been defined already, but I could not find it. What does "bayed" actually mean? My car has been produced, it's in Nashville and is now "bayed"

If you car is really in Nashville and bayed that should mean it has passed quality control and is ready to turn over to the trucking company

Mine is in the same situation. Went to Nashville, and is now at 4B00 as of this morning. Chat says it's all clear to ship, just waiting on a truck.

I thought 4B00 (in non-nashville cars) meant that it had passed QC and was just waiting for 10 cars to head the same direction before they got on a truck, but Cust Svc said otherwise, so I'm not sure exactly what it means other than it's close.

On another note, H101's stats shows that ON AVERAGE, your car gets to the dealer 11 days after you first hit 4B00. That said, there are some pretty large outliers to that, some 30+ days, some 3 days.

I posted this on another similar thread, so I hope I am not violating forum rules, but I thought this hard evidence might be useful and directly germane to the topic.

Here is my status code list since being produced. Notice that I have been listed as Bayed on four separate dates. Today GMer's status report shows me as back on hold again. Sigh.
