Here's some helpful information...
Current TPWs are in a state of flux right now and will probably be updated on Thursday. I wouldn't bet on any current TPWs until then.
As for completion of the remaining C7 orders, suppliers are given their orders way in advance because of the way the plant sequences parts. To give you an example of the timeline for this, think about the first C8 orders that were accepted in September. When they went to 3000 status, that meant the parts had been ordered from the various suppliers, which was a little more than two months before the first TPWs. With regard to the completion of three weeks of C7 orders that were already in the system, the parts for these were already on hand or in the process of being shipped to the plant when the strike occurred. While some materials actually have a limited installation window, specifically items with adhesives, the plant either processes these or scraps them. I assure you, they've had plenty of time to make certain that they have all of the parts and materials they need to complete the C7 orders in the remaining three weeks of production and there will be no materials delay.

I find it quite intriguing to see people on the forums living out their imaginary C8 purchase. Can’t wait for my purple C8 with chrome wheels I paid cash for 3 years ago to come to be built and delivered Christmas eve.
