Default HTC production start date

I couple weeks back I saw the production start week for HTC is 8/20. I read on corvette blog is is 8/3. Can anyone confirm it has been updated to 8/3? I had a TPW of 4/7 before the Covid shut down.

The first production HTCs will come off the line today. There are approximately 225 cars on the line at any given time, so HTCs were on the line yesterday, but just not to the end of the line yet.

it's been going back and forth a lot which is understandable as they ramp up, it will be some time in August though for the sake of conversation

The New Convertible is an amazing value!

I CAN TELL YOU THIS—AS OF 5:00 THIS AFTERNOON the week of August 3rd for startup is still Correct———-BUT BUT knowing past history and the fact that BOTH NASHVILLE AND KNOXVILLE have been declared hot spots for the Virus does not bode well for Bowling Green.....

I would think that with multiple TPW's of 8/3 some would be delivered by the end of August.

TPW of 9/21 with a March allocation pick up.
