No regular production cars have been moved off the plant complex to another location. They can house 2000 Corvettes at the plant.

Do you know how close they are to 2000? If they keep up the current production rate without shipping product that is mid-week I think?

2024 C8 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
I'm trying to be patient. My official wait for this car began in April 2018, almost two years ago. That's when I was placed on the first list. A list at MacMulkin to be notified when I could submit a deposit to be put on that waiting list. Quite a few here have had deposits in place much longer than that. For those of us who have been waiting that long, the finish line seems close.
With respect to the QC hold, I for one would like to have as many bugs as possible out of this car before delivery. That will cut down on future threads here where posters are complaining about the car being released before it was ready.
I think about the delays this way. We have a completely new car from the ground up, being built in what can be considered an essentially new assembly plant, by either retrained or new employees. Throw in a two month strike for good measure, not to mention the strike effect on the "just-in-time" supply chain and I can see why Chevy may not have answers to all the questions we ask. Sure, GM has been in this business a long time and has rolled out new designs before. They probably had similar problems then too that we have most likely forgotten.
Delivery of the new C8 is closer today than it has ever been!. Just my 2 cents.
