Default TPWs getting close....

Our TPWs are getting close, how are you holding up? Me, I am almost out of my mind(more than normal). I have a feeling that the wait between the build and delivery is going to be worse. The only consolation is the build week coincides with my birthday. That will be a good present.

Target Production Week.

At this point, there are 3 dates to deal with. Production, release from the factory, and finally, museum delivery. Although any dates are helpful, it would just be nice to schedule a date for the museum pickup. Having to hold a whole block of time without being able to schedule anything is a pain. Good luck to all! Hang in there.

My dealer only wants to talk about constraints and keeps assuring me I should have mine somewhere between end of Sept. and end of Oct. He doesn't seem to understand the question, "when will you get your allocation?" I do have both the perf. axle & polished wheels that are on constraint, but he tells me I have his first allocation.

This forum has helped me make it this far. It'll get me through until I get it.

My TPW is 8/2 as of this last friday. Scheduled delivery date (Phoenix, AZ) is 9/10. Event Code is 3400. Will my C6 get built this week or not? I will let everyone know later this week.

Wow, although your TPW is 2 weeks before mine (mine was 8/2 but they changed it) we have the same estimated delivery date.

Not sure why. We will find out what is real (vs estimated) in the next 5 or 6 weeks.

Sorry so late just got in. I am in the same situation as you. My B-Day was 7/26 as was my TPW. What is weird is that as of Sat my TPW is is still 7/26 & i am still status 3400 so i don't know if that is because of QC issues or what. Either way i am extatic and can't wait at the same time i read the forum and listen to every little piece of information and just hope that whenever we get our cars arrive they are well built and more amazing than we expect!!

Ain't it the truth !!! It's one thing to have to wait, but to have no real concrete numbers as to how long we'll have to wait just makes it all the more frustrating.

And the assertions in other threads that Museum delivery is either on constraint or likely to add 2-3 weeks to the actual delivery date just makes me crazy!!! Will my TPW of 8/9 still come to pass?? And if it does, will I get my car in a timely manner? Who knows????

Every new favorable review of the car -- and so far that is basically all of them -- just makes my desire for my yellow 1SB Z51 MN6 all the more difficult. I haven't been this excited or anticipated an event so much since the Christmases of my childhood many many years ago.
