Just heard from the Concierge -
"Convertible production will be delayed by at least a month. GM has decided to extend the suspension of regular plant operations across North America and will continue to evaluate our operating plan going forward. We are unsure how this will impact production, shipping, or delivery at this time"

Also the Concierge service is only available by email until further notice.

 

 

prior to Covid-19, does anyone know how many Hart tops GM was planning on building before starting production of the HTC or did GM ever estimate what percentage of production would be HTCs

 

There was no predetermined number of coupes to build before starting HTC production. Once Feb 3rd start of production was set, HTC start of production was set for April 6.

 

Just heard from my dealer who also confirms that my convertible order is now in 3000 status. My order had been in 1100 status since 1/16/2020. My dealer speculates that my car should "land within 60 days of the Plant going back into production". I am suddenly pumped up again.

 

I got a note from my dealer about a week ago that my HTC TPW moved from 4/25 to 8/10. Canadian order.

 

I had a HTC TPW of 04.13 prior to their disappearance, I would be very happy with a late May, early June TPW at this point.

 

Your dealer is full of crap. There are zero confirmed TPW's for convertibles. And that is a fact.

 

Just passing along what I was told. Take it how you will.

 

Hopefully you will learn that 90 per cent of what a dealer tells you cannot be believed without further investigation, and the other 10 per cent is plain crap. I know for a FACT that there are zero TPW's assigned for convertibles at this time.

 

^^^^^
Don't know if it matters but he DID say it was a Canadian order....

 

It doesn't.

 

Who's your dealer? It sounds like he's blowing hot air to you

As far as we know, the last dealer submission of orders happened during the March allocation around 3/12 (changing from 1100 to 2000 per dealer submission, and then shortly afterwards changed to 3000 by GM) - that's what happened to bunch of us here whose orders were submitted by MacMulkin, as we all have the same confirmation that week), and I exchanged with GM Concierge the week after, and was told by the Concierge the following for my convertible order: expect to get TPW info in late May when it's being sequenced for production, and the TPW date will be most likely in the late July to early August time frame.

Now, that was before the plant shutdown happened, and the original plan for the first production of convertibles was set for the week of 4/6, per many posts by other forum members. So, if these are correct, it means that from the start of the vert production in early April for those of us getting 3000 status in the March allocation, we won't get our car produced until around early August, that's roughly 3.5 - 4 months time in between from "the starting of vert production to cars being made".

Since we have never heard there's any order submission and status change to 3000 in April so far, it's possible that your order went in mid March just like many of us (and your dealer just did't tell you until now). If so, your vert is not likely get made within 60 days of production running again. More likely, it will be 3.5-4 months time, per schedule estimate above based on the solid info from MacMulkin and GM Concierge.

So, let's say the plan starts run again at the end of April, you are not going to get your vert car built within 60 days around the end of June as your dealer told you. That's a 99.99% certainty. Because even if there had no plan shutdown, you wouldn't get your vert made until late July or early August anyway, and now with the shutdown, the date of all our March allocation vert being made, is going to be late August to early Sept time frame the earliest.

 

My dealer is Fox Marquette Chevrolet in Marquette MI.
As I indicated in my last post - My dealer "speculates" that my car "should " land within 60 days..........
Sure, my dealer is trying to be positive, but he is qualifying his predictions. During these times of continuously ominous predictions about the corona virus I find a positive suggestion about my order to be very refreshing. I try to be cautiously optimistic instead of pessimistic.
