Maybe they got lucky and nothing changed for them but I doubt that. Most likely its because it is a Thursday Date from Kerbeck. My guy checked the system Saturday morning 10/12. He keeps me as current as possible. He checked all orders at code 3000 thru Global Connect and found that they were pushed back 2 months.
Some others may find out Monday, I'm betting.

I checked with my dealer and asked him what was the impact on general sales. He said it will take two weeks to resume production on all vehicles.

He is a small dealer so he only had 7 allocations. He said those are all spoken for and YES. ALREADY WORKING ON NEXT YEAR.

Because people have keyboard muscles. Theres no accountability for their actions here. If some people acted the way they do on the internet there would be some mad asswhoopin going on. Lets be real.

Wrong!!!
I am the Corvette manager at a Chevrolet dealership and my first two C8 allocations had 12-16 production dates and were moved to 1-13-20 Since it is Sunday I can't get into the system to see if they moved again?
Also, GM canceled October first-round dealer order submission process DOSP They said they will see where the strike is for the next DOSP Thursday 10/17

Those buying the 2020 are getting a car 6 months late now. I'd opt for 2021

Agree!! My 2019 C7Z was built in Jan 2018. No reason why a model
year 2021 can’t be built early 2020....

If they do that, I'll have a 2021 without all the problems of the first year.

My TPW was 1/6 a week ago. Then it was updated on 10/10 and moved to 12/9
so I'm not sure what's going on.
kerbeck is my dealer.

They will likely negotiate backpay as part of the settlement. I seriously doubt union workers will work over the holidays.
