Let's just say production starts July 15th. The first units are done maybe a week later? Add 30ish days for shipping and youre towards the end of August/beg Sept. Then EPA hold, loading onto trucks to get to dealers may add another 1-3 weeks depending on east coast/west coast, you're almost at October. Build in a little contingency time or to allow dealers to build up a few cars worth of inventory?

What’s the source of your info and timeline? Seems all made up to me, none of it aligns.

Factory needs roughly a month to switch from gen 7 to gen 8 production line. Production seems delayed, or at least it won’t be full capacity starting July if the MY reveal is in October.

If we were to go by your timeline, early august there will be 100s of G30 at ports, social media will be filled with leaked fotos making Oliver Zipse look stupid in October reveal.
