Default TPW 08/11 Maybe?

talked to chevy.com today about why they do not have the 2015 on build and price? Was told that tpw mean a target ,does not mean will start production on 08/11, said they still have a lot of build out orders for 2014 and will address those before the start of 2015 orders. So my target date of 08/11 may not happen.

true, but it may also be that 2015 production might start before 8-11.

said they still have a lot of build out orders for 2014 and will address those before the start of 2015 orders.
rumor has it that the assembly plant is ahead on the 2014 orders.

My dealer recently got confirmation that a 2014 build was completed (status 4000)... two days before the listed TPW.

Hold on tight, it's gonna be a fun ride

Well there is a three week void of orders going into system. No new orders this week, next week and finally 2015 build allocations resume Aug 14th nationwide.

I have only seen one case on here of a car being built after the TPW. With that said, I would completely disregard that info. But, also the TPW is also a target, not a guarantee.
