Thanks, Mike -

Should Zymurgy add this update to the main 'Constraint Reports' Sticky thread ???

Thanks for posting the report. I am really interested now that I have ordered a car. I need to watch the carbon fiber top constraint. Looks like that will keep me out 2 to 3 weeks.

Stupid question, but why would a color combination have an engineering constraint? for instance the NRB and Carbon Fiber Hood. Are they concerned about paint adhesion?

There's no way to know the impact that the 34% roof panel constraint will have on your order. It could get picked up in the coming week or it could take weeks or even months. There's really no rhyme or reason to it.

As for your question about NRB and the CF hood, I have no idea as to the answer; sorry. It's not about paint adhesion because the exposed CF area of the hood isn't painted.

How accurate is the production week? Do all end up scheduled in that week?

In most cases, once you have a TPW it ends up being accurate.

I know that but the constraint week gives a TPW week. I wonder how accurate that is.

It's 100% accurate. It means that the constraints are in effect for cars getting built that week.

Orders that get "picked up" this week (between now and next Tuesday) are anticipated to be built the week of August 10th. In the vast majority of cases, this will be accurate.

Ok thanks. It was accurate the week mine got picked up. But the following week the consensus TPW was 7/20. So it went from 8/3 to 7/20 and didn't understand that. Why would they schedule August before July was filled up?

So if my order went from 1100 to 2000 today. August 10th is a good estimate?

It should come off the line during that week.
