When does 2016 production begin?
I know it has probably been discussed,but I can't find it. When does production of 15 end and 16 begin? I am at 3000 and my dealer says tentative production is week of 6/1. Says cars after me are 16.
I ordered in late December and don't want to delay , but would be nicer to have the first 16 rather than last 15. No big deal but one model year newer
when selling later.

If it were me, I would tell my dealer to cancel the 2015 order and then have him submit an order for a 2016. But that decision depends on how large your dealer is and how many allocations he will receive for 2016's. If your dealer is a small dealer, his first allocation for a 2016 might be down the road a bit and you might be waiting awhile for your 2016. A large Corvette dealer is likely to get you one of the first 2016's built.

There is no absolute guarantee that there will be a price increase on the first 2016's being built. My 2009 Z06(one of the very first 2009's built, in June 2008) did not have a price increase over the last 2008's built a week and a half before my 2009 was built.

He also might receive a car that has changes/improvements for 2016 that will cause the car have a higher resale value later on.

OP all depends if you keep your cars or trade soon. If its a keeper get the 15 and don't worry about depreciation. If you flip it soon a 16 may make more financial sense even with a modest price increase.
