I received pre-built door s/n 101 on Wednesday.  I was originally scheduled
for delivery this December.   Amber called in June to let me know we could
have the second slot and take delivery in August.  How s/n 101 got to me
that soon remains a mystery.  When told it was coming I shrugged and thought
"might as well".
I doubt it's condition was as good as the one shown at OSH.  The black
socket head cap screws (in two sizes) are rusty on their heads.  The strut
is not installed and is marked on a peice of masking tape:
"this strut not installed.  pump cover panel is hitting the cylinder".
Another piece of tape on the inside of the window says "scratch here" with
an arrow pointing to a 3/8" scratch under the protective coating.  And today
when I turned the door over a small socket head cap screw fell out.  I have
not looked to find if one is missing from the latch cover but it is the
right size.  Oh, and tho I haven't tried a second time, one of the latches
did not release when the handle was moved.  Yes, I tried both handles inside
and out.  I will do an in depth inspection soon.
I expected more for $6800.
