Default July Consensus

when does it open up?


from my understanding the june consensus was the first for the C7, so this would be the second and expected to be larger consensus.

Default Sadly,

Not even a single car from the May consensus has been produced, initially some had been given a TWP of 6/24, which was then reversed, now the plant is on break, looking more and more like late Sept early October for the May consensus cars, now they have added 500 "premier" editions to the mix to go along with the May consensus cars, do you see where this is going:to etap:

Dealers were assigned allocations today. If you have an order in with a big forum dealer, I think you may be very surprised how quickly you move up the line.

Also, these are allocations for consensus only. The next round of actual order input will not be open until next Thursday thru Saturday.

Lol! You're not kidding!

We got an allocation of 110 cars today. Since we already have 25 on order that means if your order number with us is #135 or lower you order is getting ready to go in. I will be in touch to go over any last minute changes.

The 6/24 TPW was never accurate and your dealer should have told you that. This is still the normal schedule. I believe, barring any delays, today's allocations will be built in late August or early September. Obviously I can't guarantee that, but it's a good guess.

Orders all ready in should bet built in late July through August (which was always the schedule) but don't expect them to ship immediately. GM will do an initial quality hold to go over all of the early cars with a fine tooth comb to look for issues before the cars are released to the dealers.

All is well! Don't worry, be happy and have a wonderful Independence Day!

Dave

Heck, if Tommy even gets 1/4th of that we'll be good, and when I say we, I mean everyone I've seen talking about their orders so far. I think the highest number I've seen anyone mention around here was in the high twenties?

A little over a thousand in May, and every corvette dealer got one. There are over 2000 this month, and not every dealer got one, hence the large number for the forum dealers like Kerbeck.

Would it be reasonable to believe the 6 to 9 month restricted allocation period began with the first allocation in late May?

How are orders prioritized by GM after that period of time?
