Which is correct?
I have heard that dealers get told of their allocations every Thursday. I have also heard every OTHER Thursday, and I have heard every Wednesday. Anyone know for sure?

Dealers get a weekly allocation report, think a week prior to consesus (Thursday thru Monday), they know what they can order prior to. My dealer showed me his allocation (Final Allocation by Week Report) when I placed my order and it went order accepted by GM (2000) by Monday. I literally purchased the allocation and the order was attached to it. Currently with the way allocations distributed, this is the only way I would order or you could sit order placed (1100) for weeks/months. I know, the first dealer couldn't get an allocation (waited 4 1/2 months) I canceled and went with another dealer. Like I stated with an allocation immediately accepted.

Unless something's changed since late last year, my dealer received weekly allocation reports....

Consensus is a process, it normally begins on a Thursday and ends the following Tuesday, it starts with dealers being told how many of what model can be ordered, it involves several passes as the orders are matched against allocation then against constraints and finally unused allocations are assigned to dealers willing to use them.
Every Chevrolet model is subject to consensus, and it is easy to see the process can be time/attention consuming.
Consensus cycles occur every two weeks.
