There isn't a way to determine the production date by simply looking at the VIN; the date is not encoded into the VIN.

Your dealer can tell you the car's production date. All he has to do is look it up on the so-called "work bench" computer they use to order and track their stock.

When does a TPW become an actual production date in the system.

I got mine this past Saturday morning by asking the Chev Cust Svc Order Tracking Thread at the very top of this forum. It was produced on 2/21 (My TPW was 2/17) and they also gave me my VIN which BTW is 16xxx. Just send an e-mail within that thread to either Marissa or Kelly J.

Received mine at 3000 (after a few days at that code). Hasn't changed since and I am now at 3300. I heard that vert's aren't showing TPW's for some reason.

I went to 3400 back on 12/18 so maybe they've changed the process slightly since.

Hope things go smoothly for ya

Same for me, 3/10 (no buyers tour for me), was wondering when I'd get an actual day.
