Default C8 production

Tadge, I think many of us C8 buyer’s are wondering where are these C8 being built if production doesn’t start until February 3rd? Not to mention the plant upgrade didn’t occur until after the strike was over, hence the production delay. We see pictures of new wrapped C8’s on trucks, can you give us any insight?
Thanks

We're not likely to "spend" one of our monthly questions to Tadge asking him about this. The cars were built in BG and they're captured fleet; staying internal to GM. I think you're making too many assumptions about "plant upgrades" and "delays".
