Hooked_4_good

Finally got some great news today! Went 3400 today with a TPW of 12/7! Hope it comes before the end of the year. So psyched! Im in CTg out Friday the week of (12/11/2020) as this is when we should have the next update for you.

Sir Nuke

just got an update....on Monday my order went to 4000, available to ship!! it won't be long now!!!!

Panfish

Don’t hold your breath on that. Mine’s been at 4000 for 17 days and hasn’t shipped yet.

I hope your luck is better than mine.

Sir Nuke

my dealer had 8 cars built within my TPW....nearly a full load, one stop shopping!! I have faith.....

When I was there on Tuesday 12/01 picking mine up at the Museum, this is what was waiting to be shipped

Panfish

Mine had 2. It wouldn’t surprise me if they have already shipped the one built after mine. I’ve decided to sell it now anyway as there’s too much negative baggage associated with it for me. It’s now a symbol of everything that’s gone wrong...kinda like a long distance internet relationship that didn’t pan out once you met in person. Much higher expectations for my 2021 though, so I can look at it with no bad taste in my mouth. At least in the interim, I’ll have one to drive a few miles now and then until the next one makes it to 4000. It will make a good test vehicle for me about seat choice, interior/exterior color and even coupe/HTC, so I can have a better 2021 for my tastes.

Sir Nuke

just got another update.....my dealer has been invoiced for my car and 5 others this morning....status 4150. COME ON 4200!!!

Sir Nuke

this has been a BANNER day!!! I know I told you my guy texted me eariler.....he's off today, but keeps track of all his Vette orders for the dealership even when he's at home. ANYWAY....about 30 minutes after he texted me, he called, and wanted to tell me they got a LOAD SHEET from Cooper and my car was loaded at 10:43 a.m. today!! I am only a 2 day drive from BGA....depending on whether they left today or Tomorrow....my car could be at the dealership late Friday or on Saturday!! then possibly pick it up the next day.

R & K C8

Our C8 Order time-line is listed below so others still waiting for progress with their C8 Order can compare/contrast the timing that our Order experienced:
11/05 3300 (Scheduled for Production)
11/18 3400 (Broadcast, we requested our Partial VIN from Dealer to use per C8J's SS)
11/25 3800 (Produced, car off the line,1st Shift early afternoon per the SS)
11/25 4000 (Available to ship)
11/26 & 11/27 TG Holiday
12/01 4200 (Shipped, car departed BGA on a Truck)
12/03 4300 (Intermediate Delivery, assume car unloaded at Toledo Rail Yard for its train ride to the Seattle area)

We are now waiting for 4800 (Rail Ramp Unload, Destination) which we've been told can take 3 to 6 weeks, with a little luck we can take Delivery (6000) of our C8 in late December.

Our best wishes for speedy Order processing for everyone still waiting for progress on their MY2020 C8 Order, keep the faith, once the Order begins to move, it seems to go fast... a typical Corvette trait .

I see my C8! Fourth row back and sixth from the left!

Panfish

Mine’s inside a room at the plant in pieces being used as a assembly training tool for newbie’s.

It feels good to give something back!

Sir Nuke

although my car was loaded on a trailer on Thursday ay 10:32 a.m.....along with 5 other cars coming to my dealership. It still hasn't left BGA....WTF!!! yeah I know they are waiting for a full load, but I would think that they KNOW which cars are going where and have that all plannerd out....for efficiency sake anyway. And knowing they don't drive/deliver cars on Sunday's....I have to believe in this day and age with things the way they are....if I were a driver, I wouln't want to get half way and have to expose a half load of C8's "in the wild". I thought I read somewhere that J. Cooper had 10 days to deliver once dealerships where sent a loadsheet for their cars?? anyone else remember or know this to be true??


EDIT: as I was finishing up this post, I got an email from "my guy" and they recieved yet another LOAD SHEET for my load dated TODAY and has at the top "PICKUP / INSPECTION DATE"....seeing as how they thought it should have left 2 days ago (they normally get this notification/document the day they leave BGA), they are thinking that possibly they were either short a truck or one broke down....time will tell.

My car was built day before Thanksgiving and it was loaded up on the trailer 2 days back. Spoke to my dealership few times and they had 2 other C8s in two different trailers show up in the last 24 hrs or so. So either BG built several C8s headed this way or their logistics process is not efficient.

Sir Nuke

of the 6 in my load....4 were built Thanksgiving Week (one on Monday, 3 on Wednesday), and 2 were built on the 30th.....but it only show the cars going to my dealership...wish it showed the destination of all 10, as that would give me a clue on how may stops they will make. I am pretty sure we are close to the end of the line as its 870 miles from the delership to Bowling Green. so we are just inside the 1000 mile range for truck deliveries.

Unphased

guess the silver lining is, you have a car on the way....Merry Christmas!!!

Yes Virginia there is a Santa Claus.......

Thanks for reaching out! Your order (XRGG6H)is currently at the status of 4000 – Available to Ship. This status means your Corvette is available to ship pending routine inspections. As we do not have much insight into this part of the process, we are unable to estimate when your specific Corvette will ship. However, I am showing that your new Chevrolet Corvette was built on 12/3, congratulations!

3000 - 3/17
3400 -11/19
Built - 12/3
4000-12/7

Just picked up our C8 from North Dallas dealership. It was a long wait but its finally here. Salesman was wonderful. I told the dealership not to wash, wipe, polish or stick anything on the car. Next step will be wheels swapping, 5VM front splitter, PPF and ceramic coating.

Sir Nuke

TODAY was a day like no other....today I got up and left to go by the dealership to get the my current vette apprised so that was one less thing to do or wait on once the car FINALLY arrives, and to drop off a couple parts that they will install.......been there about 15 minutes and out of the BLUE WTH pulls up right outside my guys window....A FRICKIN' TRACTOR TRAILER LOAD of VETTEs!!! and MINE was on the TOP FRONT!!!!!!



there were six on the truck for the dealership....once they got them all offloaded, seeing as I was there, they took mine first to make it ready for delivery, SOOOOO I was taking my baby home TODAY!!!! 485 days after I placed my order!!!

Panfish

Congrats. Just curious, but how long to prep it and how many miles were on it from the factory?
