Default Question about changing TPW

hey guys,

my TPW has been pushed back a few times, but always ahead of the actual TPW.....i.e., my 8/16 TPW got pushed back on 8/10...etc.....

My 9/27 TPW is still listed as 9/27 as of Friday.......does this mean it is more likely to stick...or could it be pushed back just as easily on 9/27 or 9/28?

Thanks for any insight


Pat

Pat, it depends on your event code. At 3100 it becomes more stable. Where are you now?

Mine was done the same way...TPW 9/20 status 3100 got pushed back to 9/27 the week PRIOR to 9/20. Although I'm getting antsy to get my car, I'm not too bummed about a one week push...I am wondering about the status codes though...I thought 3100 was a pretty good lock on TPW???

Pat, I was at 3100 through 3 TPW changes. Finally stuck at 9/27 but car will not start down the line until 10/2. They are just running behind on the LBM like I believe we both have. I did turn 3300 the week before though and 3400 on 9/23 and received my VIN. (4828)

hang in there!

Mike

Greetings, Could you or somebody please tell me and many other people just what does the Numbers mean and what does TPW stand for ? I would surely appreciate it. Thanks.
