Here comes another thursday
Here we are just a few hours from another Thursday....
Please, Baby Jesus, can I get an allocation for my order? and... would it be too much to ask for no constraints on my options... Please!

I reached out to the Customer Service team on PM and no response. Trying to understand why the constraint on painted roof.

LOL. This post made me laugh. I am in the same situation. One thing i cannot understand is the painted roof constraint... Wouldn't you think that the painted roof would be in high supply? I just don't get that.

My second allocation is coming up tomorrow or next Thursday..I hope I make it through this time.I don't really care about the roof,just worried about the Z51.My dealer has one more allocation after this one in the 1st phase,and that's it till next year.

Guess who you're still behind. Sorry...
It's difficult to follow how this all ends up working, but I know they're hoping for multiple allocations tomorrow. I also KNOW my salesman desperately wants to get mine ordered so I'll stop bugging him. He may have said something about a restraining order
Good luck to both of us
Cheers,
Rusty

I spent the afternoon with a CF design shop that is prototyping some interior parts for my car. I was telling him about the constraints...I could not believe how many ways he said that CF can go wrong when attempted in volume. I think GM's fault was contracting/s\designing parts that require huge QC and believing the vendor when he said he could do it in the volumes that GM needs....a cluster F**k for sure....

Gee am I glad that the vert is a soft top. I can just imagine the issues if it had been a power retractable hard top like the Miata ..........

I must say that I might have to reconsider my current order (placed 2 weeks ago today) if GM doesn't "pick it up" tomorrow.......

probably a stupid question, but i am going to ask anyway. Since my vert is at a status of 3300 since last week, will it will be built during the first phase and my vehicle is not being held back from any constraint?
