Are they building 2014's and 2015's at the same time?

So you could no longer order a '14 after June 12th, and you could order a '15 the following Monday June 15th? And the '15s are already queued for production?

All true, as far as I know. I suppose if they were able to finish the '14 orders early, they could start the '15s a little earlier, but that was the schedule as I heard it.

They plan production well in advance. We'll know more when they start assigning TPWs ..

2015 sop

My understanding is that 2015 will now start production on 7/21 instead of 8/11.

Possible, but I have seen some '14 folks with TPWs of 7/21 .. I guess it just depends on how quickly they can finish the '14 production. Such a change would make a number of people happy .. in both model years ..

no-shut-down model year changeovers happen on a Monday, typically.

August 11 is a Monday. If we see the 2015 production date moved up... I would imagine it would be an entire week-at-a-time change.

Monday August 4, Monday July 28, or Monday July 21.

The 2015s will have "15" pasted on the windshiels so no mistakes are made while in final assembly.

With a 7/14 TPW hopefully someone will screw up and install a new A8 in mine.

Yes, first it will be 3 14s to 1 15, then 2 to 2, then 1 14 to two 15s then all 15s. Its not unusual to see delivery carriers the first few weeks to have new 14s and new 15s on them at the same time.
