There is a reason that they call it a TARGET production week and not a guaranteed production week.
After years of waiting for the C8 a couple weeks delay is no big deal.
I much rather they ramp up production slowly and ship cars that have gone through a rigorous QC process then have a repeat of the C7 rollout where car had to stored for 5 or 6 weeks while GM sorted out QC issue.
Maybe they learned from the C7 rollout and wont have the same issues with the C8 rollout.
Altho they at GM, Chev and Corvette learned a lot from all prior new Corvette gen rollouts, this one may be a more important one---possibly, very important one. For that reason(s), it wouldn't surprise me if they take their time. And they probably made some changes during the strike when no one was around working on producing any Corvettes. That would just be smart.
Looks like production is going real slow ( which is good )
I'm VIN 717 with a 2/3 TPW.....That didn't happen, probably 2/10 or even 2/17 now....We'll see at the next update.
I spoke to Concierge and they are not sure when they are coming back... lots of questions on the disappearance and she is escalating for an answer. **Also confirmed another now actual fact that I speculated in a post many weeks back. They are following the original order months for the PRODUCTION of the vehicles. That is why folks are being moved up, their colors and trim levels are 2LT and 3LT, so even though their allocated order went in after many others of us they are jumping up in line. All about the almighty dollar, Chevy wants to get revenue in the door on the top priced units sold. Tesla not the only who ever thought of this!

You just threw me in a very cold shower...
I haven’t been the same person without my TPW.
It was my warm security blanket...
If you add the 8-10 weeks from production start for Blade Silver and 1LT from original order constraints timing, that gets you to my TPW of 4/6 - at least before they removed it.
Good news is second shift should make up and perhaps we will be sooner than April !
Dealer just told me there first was bumped back 2 months. Was going to be February now April. They only get 7 and this was the first mine is number 2 and I’m at 3000

There do seem to be some cases of cars jumping up two months and others back by two... Will be interesting to see if this is really whats going on or if its due to supplier / production issues. Hopefully cars are just being reshuffled, not all delayed.

I looked at Kerbeck's 2/6/20 listing, while there are 39 1LT cars out of 327 total cars in the data, 89 cars are 3300 or higher and they are all 2LT's or 3LT's.
