Default TPW - Convertible

I'm not sure but I thought I may have read somewhere that convertibles do not have TPW's. Can someone confirm that for me?

Thanks.

I can confirm that I never received a TPW for my convertible. In fact it was built ahead of the estimated TPW my dealer gave me. He thought based on his allocation it would be a TPW of 3/10 or 3/17, came off the line around 3/4. I've read about the same experience (no TPW) from others.

For whatever it is worth, I just got a TPW of 4/14 for my CG Z51 'vert, and status of 3300. Maybe it will actually get built earlier? That would be great!

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks for your responses. I'm at 3000. Hopefully I can get a TPW soon.

In checking the website and with customer service, it showed at 3300 with no TPW shown. A follow up as to why I didn't yet have a TPW, revealed that there actually was one located apparently elsewhere in the system of 3/31. The dealer later emailed me that same info later that day. Looks like it was actually built on 3/31.

I got a TPW for my vert 10 weeks before production. It came off the line Friday of the target week.

I only received an estimated TPW at time of order from my dealer of 3/10 or 3/17, car came off the line 3/4 when the day before customer service couldn't tell me anything. Found out she was built when museum contacted me.
