Default 2015 - shipped !

Chevrolet.com shows my 2015 status as SHIPPED. Build week was 8-11 so does not appear there is any holding period for quality control.

thanks MacMulkin.

The tracking system is not state of the art. You should check with your salesman. Nothing has shipped yet.

Yeah mine said "shipped en route" on the 13th. They should change that to "Parked on the Lot"!

As all 2014 owners learned that little radio button actually encompasses several Event Codes. One of them is "Bayed". So the button will show shipped but the car is just "staged" for shipping.

Many hearts were broken by that little business rule GM coded into the tracking site.

This is exactly correct. No 2015s have shipped yet.

How do you know this?

Tracking site (and GM Cust Service) on my 2014 said still in BG, showed up at my dealer the same day...

I wouldn't believe yes or no until it shows up. Might be surprised.

Just left the BG Assembly Plant. The back lot appears almost full much like the 2014 hold. My guess is maybe thru this week and then they must ship the cars. Look out Nashville! They are building 180 per day and production is 5 days per week and 10 hours per day. Daytona Sunrise Orange should be on the line next week. Every car on the line was either red, black, or white. Way over 50% were Z51 or ZF1. 95% were coupes

I believe the BG lot holds 1100 as per what was mentioned in the video that another member posted in another thread showing the interview of the production manager at BG.

Hoping they start shipping tomorrow or thursday. The whole nashville incident served as extra storage space for thr 2014s for the cars being shipped by rail as thats where CSX hub is for rail shipment.

Holds more than twice that number and if there is qc problem, Nashville is less than two hours south.

But we are several days away from knowing if there will be a qc problem. By we I mean the universe including GM, Chevy, BGAP, and customers with built orders.

I disagree... I have info that the actual number is very close to 1400 cars. I understand that car number 1040 came off the line yesterday. with another 170+ today and for the next day or so. I would beleave they will need to ship or start to move to another lot.

Incorrect, at 2014 launch NO cars were shipped VIA rail.

Nashville was a lot where they did repairs.

You should really check out the video shown in the thread labeled "All these secrets" . It mentions all the details for Nashville so you can get your facts straight.
