They've taken over 100
orders
Delivered over 50 retail aircraft, still have 50+ on order and continue to take orders at the rate of around 1 a week, or about as frequently as you (correctly) say they build them.
The lead time has been hovering around a year for the last 1-2 years. For your reckoning to be accurate, they would literally have to stop taking orders altogether immediately, which seems unlikely. As the other posted stated - the most delivered small jet of 2017.
Dreams of a Cessna style factory full of unsold green-tails, a furloughed workforce and a sales team offering million $ discounts don't appear to be in offing just yet!
