Time Line
38 days ago my dealer placed my order and the status was 1100, but there was 50% constraint on Z51. (the only constraint associated with my order.) Today the order was accepted by GM and went to 2000. I am curious to know at this point generally how long does it take for a TPW to be issued?

From 2000 to a So. Cal. delivery in 5 weeks sounds really quick. Doesn't the car sit in BG for inspection for a week or two once it is built? I would guess it would be 8-12 weeks from 2000 to delivery. But I could (hopefully) be wrong.

They only stay at bowling green for a week or two if they go for quality control i believe. Not all of them wait there for no reason.

It all depends on if the factory has a firm commitment from their supplies for the constrained part or parts associated with the Z51 package since most orders processed added that option.

By Halloween is possible but in my experience not likely. The OP is on the west coast (CA). I'm in Corvette sales at a west coast dealer (WA); new Corvettes take 3 - 5 weeks to arrive at my dealership after they're produced. That's a fact.

i believe you. I've heard cali takes forever, but i don't think every car is held for a week or 2 like the OP thinks, correct?

You need to check with dealer once it gets to 4B00 "B" not 8. That's Bayed and that's where the car is in limbo until released at 4106, 4150 is Dealer Billed. Then car will be shipped.

Absolutely correct. It's been my experience that the vast majority of cars are released for shipment within a couple of days after coming off the line. It's the transportation process that takes forever. Cars sit for days or even a week waiting to be loaded onto rail cars, then waiting to be trucked to dealers after being unloaded from the rail cars. I have a customer's car that was unloaded off the rail car a week ago (in Portland, OR) and it's still waiting to be trucked to the dealership.

7/17 - Order Placed 1100
8/17 - Status changed from 1100 to 2000
8/20 - Status changed from 2000 to 3000 no TPW
8/24 - Status still 3000 but TPW 9/14 assigned
8/28 - Status 3300 with TPW 9/14
Hope this helps
