Congrats! I just went to the order status site and it was down. Probably flooded with C7 buyers lol. Can't wait to hear from GM'er. Exciting!

So we've got one member with an 8/19 and another with a 9/9 - I'm thinking maybe we should just have one generic thread where anyone who gets their TPW off of the chevy chat line or their dealer can post it in there and say what consensus they were in.

If we collected them all we might be able to get a good guesstimate of what the process is going to look like (example - did all the cars on a certain date have something in common, are first and second consensus cars getting mixed together, etc).

Or at the very least we can keep ourselves occupied

I hope it doesn't change. Not only for your sake, but there's a few of us that predicted - the first C7's to be taken home from the dealers - would be in the last week of August.

I went on live chat today and was advised my TPW is 8/12 and my order went in on the second consensus.

How can there be TPW's for 8-12 and 8-19, the latter being 2nd consensus? I chatted with Chevy rep., I am in 1st consensus and she had NO. TPW. You would think they would have the majority of TPW's.

If they were assigned today they might still be filling them in on some of the orders

Or, if we want to venture into conspiracy theory town - maybe they're not going to list the dates for the cars which are scheduled for the very first production week since they obviously want to be able to control how the news that the line is starting gets out. So maybe if your car is one of them you suddenly move to 3400 and the car is built without ever having a date listed in the system? (please, anyone in the know on the inside - don't kill our hope that this might be true).

I don't know. I am in the first consensus. I was originally at TPW 7/29, then no TPW, then 8/19, and now no TPW. As I posted in thread I just started, here is what the rep told me.

I went to chat earlier and checked and was told they had nothing at this point to tell me. I think there are some GM CSR's that are making shyt up. That's what I think.
