Why is the activation date of a new car the same as the manufacturing date?

[EmersonLynn]

The manufacturing date is the date when the car leaves the factory, while the activation date is the date when the car model is officially launched on the market. Reasons for date inconsistency: Normally, the dates may not match due to misalignment between departments; errors in printing by the vehicle management office; or identity disguise of the vehicle. Methods to check the manufacturing date: Some car models have relevant information printed on the side of the body; the production date can be determined by the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), which is usually a 17-character alphanumeric barcode printed on the glass near the windshield wiper; the manufacturing date can also be found on the information plate in the engine compartment.
