From Corvette Concierge
According to Corvette concierge as of 3/18 the "decision was made to suspend MY20" any unit at 3000 or above will be produced for 2020..any others will have to be reordered as 2021. HOWEVER there is not pricing as of yet also its not available to spec out in GM Autobook as of this moment..

August would see the LAST of the Event 3000 cars built, at least if September is the start of 2021 production. If you are far enough forward in queue to already have had a TPW of this week, you should be getting your car WAY before August. I would think early June at the latest.

Yesterday I was told by dealer that my 3000 will be built as 2021. Who really knows? I don't care if they build as a 2022 just as long as I don't need snow tires at time of delivery.

So confused....(!)
I was at 3400 (Broadcast) with a 3/16 TPW (but no issued VIN) at the time the plant shutdown started.
As of today..... no updated Event Code, No declared TPW, and no VIN. No new info from my dealership (Hendrick of Hoover, AL). I feel as though I'm in the Twillight Zone...... especially some of you'all are getting such data for June/July production dates..... I can only guess I'm sitting at some station on the production line floor....covered with dust..... and no workforce.....
Anyone have a "best guess" in where I might be, in this queue???

Looking at it a different way, the late Production Cars will arrive near the end of 2020, meaning the new Owners will get hit with a one year depreciation before they even get to drive their Cars. No end of Year close out deals for you... Oh well...
If my 2020 HTC Order, which magically went to 3000 Status the day the Plant closed turns into a 2021 Order, I would add the non Z51 Mag Ride Option. I'm starting to hope that happens just to get that Option.
Time will tell...

Got an update from Concierge, hopefully it’s of value to some on here as they are many rumors circulating. I’m all for keeping BG closed until it’s safe for everyone to return.
”This is what we know at this time. GM has not made any announcements regarding the re-opening of the production plant in Bowling Green. Production at Bowling Green will start up again once GM determines it is safe to do so, based on Government guidance given the COVID-19 outbreak.We are still unsure how production will be impacted with this closure. Once GM announces an official production plan for the Corvette, we will be sure to keep customers up-to-date with the most accurate information.
While production is down we are unable to provide any accurate dates/timing on production. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this unprecedented time.”

I am skeptical all the 3000 status cars will get built by the end of August. They would need to get to approx. VIN 13,300, looking at the Kerbeck data. Assuming a May 18th start, and no two week holiday, they would have to build approximately 140 cars per day. They barely hit 150 cars a day before with two shifts. With possible parts shortages, workers out with COVID and who knows a two-week holiday (UAW contract?), this sounds ambitious. On the possible positive side if you ordered a coupe, will the verts be a MY 2021 item.
