Please be kind because I am new to all of this, and its my first post! I am in no rush, but I was curious if anyone knew when I would possibly get a build date for my 3,000 status car. At what point do I get told when my car is built? Also is it still true that they plan to produce all 3,000 status cars as a 2020, or is there still a chance I get pushed to a 21?

Thank you!

 

Hello and Welcome!

No, unfortunately there is no update as to when 3000 status cars will have a TPW (Targeted production week). I too am at 3000 and I was told that I should check back in 3-4 weeks, as have most people that are or were placed at the 3000 status in March.

From what I understand, if you are at 3000, you will get a 2020 Model Year (MY) car unless some catastrophic event happens yet again.

This forum does have a wealth of info, so I also suggest using the search tool to answer some questions you may have, as somebody may have already posted about it.

Good luck with your C8, and post pics when you get it!

 

Thanks so much for the information! Feels good to have found this forum and to know I am not the only one living through this.

 

My order went to 3000 in February and as of about 2 weeks ago my TPW was 8/3 (per the NCM - I have Museum Delivery on my order). I hope to go to 3300 in the next 2-3 weeks. TPWs are not displayed in most GM systems until your order reaches 3300 which will be a few weeks before the TPW. If your order went to 3000 in March, your TPW will likely be sometime in Sep to Nov and it will be some time before a TPW is available to you.

 

Welcome to the forum !

To better determine when you might expect to get a build date, do you know WHAT month your order was picked up by GM and went to 3000? Was it Dec, Jan, Feb or March?

A lot of folks who went to 3000 in Dec are now built, or just about built. There are also a lot of folks with Jan pick up dates that are being built now, or about to be built in July. There appears to be about a double the amount of prior months allotments that were picked up in March so I'm sure those will be spread over a couple of months time.

My order was picked up in mid January and I am still at 3000 as of yesterday. I originally had a 4/13 TPW date. Last I learned, I was told I had a TPW of 7/27 but that info is 3 weeks old and came from the NCM when I attempted to purchase the photo book, which was sold out for my build week.

 

For what it is worth.......got this from my dealer today......I am #2 at this small dealer and went 3000 in March.

Subject: Corvette Order Status Update





As a revision to GC Direct Message 202003180001 sent on 3/18; due to the overwhelming response for the All-New 2020 Corvette, we are announcing that we have accepted a sufficient volume of orders to satisfy the remaining 2020 Model Year production. As a result, consensus is complete for the 2020 Model Year. Launch timing was impacted by both the six-week work stoppage and the COVID-19 Pandemic.



As Corvette Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter previously announced on May 29th, we have extended the 2020 Corvette Stingray production through the fall. We continue to maximize our production schedule and focus on building orders that have already been accepted for production (event 3000 or higher). Any MY20 Corvette preliminary orders at event code 1100 will not be produced and will need to be re-submitted as a MY21 order.



We encourage you and your existing MY20 customer to create a replacement 2021 Model Year order. MY21 Corvette ordering will begin on July 30th. In the attached, please find instructions to access suggested phone scripts and a suggested email template to advise impacted customers. In addition, if your dealership collected deposits for any such orders, please be prepared to comply with the terms of those agreements.



MY20 Convertible production is scheduled to begin in early August.



The base price for the 2021 Corvette Stingray Coupe and Convertible remains unchanged.



Your Chevrolet Zone Team will be providing a file of impacted orders at event 1100.

It was put to 3,000 status in mid February

 

As was mine, and I have no info regarding future dates (and I asked a few days ago for the first time in months, just to see). I'm hoping for a mid-September delivery, but that's just angel dust wishing on my part.

I've driven my cousin's March 11th delivery (VIN #0403) and it will be worth the wait. At least you will eventually get your 2020, unless something trips up the production process as was mentioned above. But what could possibly go wrong?

 

I'd speculate that you are sometime in August for a build.

 

 

Just so I understand, you went to 3000 status in March? And yesterday you received the above email from your dealer, an email that appears to originate from GM and be directed to dealers for offering direction on handing 1100 customers? I believe your dealer forwarded that to you in error, as you are at 3000 status, not 1100 status.

 

The dealer should not have forwarded it even if he was at 1100. There are email and letter attachments that are intended as customer communications.

 

Well, got a very disappointing update today.... I am moving rapidly BACKWARDS. I don't get it.

I was picked up mid January and moved to 3000. Had an initial TPW of 4/13. When trying to purchase the photo album from NCM was initially told, sold out for TPW of 7/13, then a few weeks later I decided to check again, as date are moving all over the place and Shane told me, sorry, no sold out on photo books for my new TPW of 7/27.

So today, i decided to try once again as dates seem to be in flux. She told me No, sold out on photo books for my new TPW of 8/17.

I don't get it........ so many of you also picked up in Jan, or even Feb and have status 3300, 3400 or even completed cars and TPW's much sooner. This is a coupe order, not a HTC. Getting VERY discouraged at this point.

 

GM said today that the current operational plan is to build ALL 2020 orders at 3000 or beyond by the end of November.

^^^ While I understand that GM is saying all 3000 orders will be built by the end of November, I would think that they build those cars picked up at 3000 in Jan before they build those picked up in Feb, or March.

Or at least some type of basic chronological order.

 

Initial orders were constrained by colors and certain options. When ordering restarted in Dec, the constraints were lifted but the production ramp up of those colors and options remained in place. That's why there have been virtually no Accelerate Yellow, Elkhart Lake Blue or Rapid Blue produced to date. The only thing I see in your signature that could possibly explain your delay is the 5VM. Were you contacted about them removing those from your order? If not, perhaps they are delaying your build waiting for the supplier fix their quality issue or volume limits. I'm reaching here. Normally orders are sequenced for build generally in order by consensus period.

 

^^^ Zymurgy, YES, my 5VM was removed from my order, AFTER it was at 3000 in mid Jan. I was notified.

I've pre ordered a set of C7 Carbon 5VM version for $1378 including free shipping. I previously had a set of C7 Carbon exposed Carbon Fiber front splitter and side skirts on my former C7, and was VERY pleased with the quality, fit and finish. It was like Jewelry !!!

 

There are many people that were place at the 3000 status in January 26 and they still don't have a TPW either.

 

There are many people with Jan placed order that are still at 3000 status with no TPW.

 

I was moved to 3000 on Jan 21st and don't have a TPW. I'm not sure if it helps or not to know that I am not alone.
