Telling Texas "GO" and having Texas start are two different things - as MWeston has pointed out, saying "GO" got them in the queue. So while "OP" said "GO" on Sept 30th IIRC, mass production of the boards didn't start immediately.
ED (or could have been MWeston, but I think it was ED) previously stated that the boards would be a bigger bottleneck than the cases because, once the mold is done, the cases take very little time to make, while making and populating the boards is a much slower process. Someone then popped up saying that the cases were the bottleneck again AT THAT TIME due to issues at the factory, but the boards STILL look to be a longer-term bottleneck IMHO. Once the mold is perfected, banging out cases is a pretty rapid thing. Possibly not entirely automatic, but mostly automated and purely mechanical and on a macroscopic scale. Making the circuit boards and even populating it, with such tiny components, is a more delicate and intricate (and therefore likely MUCH slower) process (or, rather, bunch of processes). MWeston has indicated that the board MP should indeed have started, and actually....

The boards should be deep into formatting and CAM inspection by now and perhaps already into the etching stage of inner layers.
