Tpw's
Hi Forum, ? what determines your TPW? I'm seeing some folks who have gotten a TPW date before folks who have gotten to 2000 earlier than the person who just received a 2000 status. Ex:
2000 on 1/6/15 TPW on 2/2/15
2000 on 1/13/15 TPW on 1/26/15
Something like that!!!!
2000 on 1/6/15 TPW on 2/2/15
2000 on 1/13/15 TPW on 1/26/15
Something like that!!!!

I think a big determining factor would be the options selected. So they would move things around based on availability of materials/parts and overall efficiency of doing similar cars in bulk. I know when I was doing the plant tour there were large sections of cars all the same color together for example.

There are several factors, starting with does the dealer have the allocation for your car. The bigger the dealer the more allocations he has to offer. The smaller the dealer the less allocation they have, and how those allocation are spaced over the year. Then there are the items you want to add to your base model in stock, All these factors enter into how long it takes to get your corvette.

The difference is that I went 2000 on 1/21 and he is going 2000 on 2/3, and we both have a TPW of 2/23. That's 2 weeks difference.
I think that's what the original question was.

Yup it was, ATC did you thinkof the carbon flash emblems, I'm thinking of adding them to my order don't really like the chrome emblems. Hopefully this wont hold the order up any longer than it's been.

I see, the answer here is B/G works on a two week cycle. They take enough orders to build for two weeks at a time. The assumes all the parts are in house. There is a lot more but for the sake of space I'll keep it simple. There were a lot of guys who had the same tpw as mine but arrived at 3400 & 3800 at different times during our tpw.

Who gave you that TPW? The constraint report for the Jan 29 consensus, which you would be a part of if you go to 2000 on Tuesday, lists a tentative TPW of 03/02.

TPW 4/6, Grey, conv. A8, 3000 for some time.
I wonder when I can start to believe in the TPW and plan a pick up in BG.
'they' say two weeks after TPW week . . . any thoughts from those who've survived the process?
