Default Constraints

My dealer calls and said the order has been accepted and will be scheduled for production as soon as the car "clears constraints". My dealer said my order "has no constraints" I happy to hear this but I'm not sure what constraints mean.

Anyone have any ideal how long it would take under these conditions , for the car to be built?

Thanks in advance.

You can see the current constraints on the C7 General Section Sticky "Constraints". Hope this helps.

Constraints are limits on an option, expressed as a percentage of total production for the consensus cycle (usually two weeks.). Since Chevy tries to build 70 Z06s per day. So for the two week period, about 700 Z's will be built, along with about 1100 Stingrays. As an example, at 45% for Z07s, only 315 orders for the Z07 option would be accepted for the cycle starting this Thursday and ending on Tuesday. You can apply the math to all the other options. If your dealer says your order has no constraints, your order either contained no constrained options, or it was one of the limited number with a constrained option allowed for this period. By next week, the dealer should be able to tell you your order has been accepted, and you moved up to status 2000 or higher.

As you can see from the post above, if your car is accepted in this consensus period, it should have a TPW, or Target Production Week, starting on Monday, April 13th. Your car should roll off the line somewhere between Monday morning and Friday afternoon of that week.
