With about 7,500 cars in the March 2020 allocations, my question has to do with build priority. I was exactly in the middle of my dealer's March allocation. Is the order of the cars being built (other HTC, paint and option batching) solely by the date you went status 3000? I went status 3000 on March 17th according to the Concierge,

I wonder it its driven by the date?

What other days in March did people go 3000?

 

You might be looking at a November build date.

 

My allocation was mid Feb on my HTC and I'm still at 3000. I will be checking next Thursday which is 3 weeks from my last check to see if there is any update. I would guess that real updates will occur once HTC production starts which was projected to be Aug. 3.

 

Yes, I have seen on here March 14 to March 20 dates for 3000 status of March allocations. When I confirmed the date yesterday with the Concierge, they asked me to check back in August.

 

I Late 2020 Coupe Build Tentative TPW (as per the NCM) as a Data Point: I was approximately 2/3 of the way into MacMulkin's March allocations (like #112 of their 180-ish March allocations that went in I recall). Z51 coupe. NCM advised tentative TPW = 10/19/20.

I was able to add R8C to my order last week. It (R8C) was on constraint in March, and I had just missed it by like 2 orders in the MacMulkin list back in March, which had me kinda bummed, but I thought "oh well", as I had done it in the past with 2 C5's and a C6, "let someone else experience it."

Shane at the NCM was great, and he gave me the best info I have received to date on TPW expectation and helped me to add the R8C with GM after the fact. I was in BG at the NCM in person on a work trip, so I'm convinced that helped vs. just someone trying to add it just via phone or e-mail. I think he has direct access into the plant's build computer database, vs. just the standard GM Workbench that the dealerships have. I think the NCM has this to be able to base their NCM delivery TPW, and thus estimate their R8C flow on. Assume they also use this to coordinate when to send the picture teams over for the picture albums.

I had planned to courtesy deliver to my home (KC area) before I was able to add the R8C. Very happy to be able to add it, so at least something related to this pandemic and delay has worked in our favor (knock on wood)! Gotta get the brakes fixed on our enclosed trailer now tho. Damn varmits ate the e-brake wires.....sheesh.

 

This week the concierge replied.........

Thank you for reaching back out! Your order (XRFTFK) is still at 3000-Accepted by Production Control and originally moved to this status on 3/17 with the last wave of allocation for the 2020 Corvette production year. As orders that moved to 3000 in January are progressing at the moment, we are more likely to have an update for you toward the end of August.

Thank you for your patience,

In 6 months it will be January. We'll all have our cars by then...............

 

Went status 3000 on March 17
Moved to 3300 on Monday.

 

Congrats!! I went 3000 also march 17th, How did you find out? Are you with a large dealer? Congrats again ! I feel your joy!

 

I started thinking about this. I took the earliest Workbench code that Kerbeck had for coupes and picked the succeeding cars until the last. 310 total vehicles. So all 3000, 3400, 3800 4200 and 5000 status. The graph below has all the coupes by order of workbench number on the x-axis and the order status on the y-axis. Looks like a few cars got bumped, but for the most part by workbench priority.

 

THX
corvette dealer called. small local dealer. very excited but it's still probably a few months before it arrives i'm guessing.

 

do you have a TPW yet?

 

I went to 3000 status around the same time as you. I was quoted a late September early October build window.

 

not yet....

 

Congratulations! Not long now. Have all January and February builds gone to 3300 status?

 

We still have 3 Jan, 5 Feb, 12 early March, and 2 late March allocations waiting to be picked up.

 

What is the logic ? I was 3000 the march 6 and now my TPW is october 5. Somebody can explain ? (Very small dealer, canadian order ?). Thank you.

 

I went to 3000 Jan 22 and so far Concierge or Dealer don't have any idea.

 

Went 3000 on 3/17 at MacMulkin. Still stuck at 3000.

 

Check with Museum about a photo album. They will let you know the availability and your current TPW. I would also suggest getting one.

 

U were right in front of me for allocation at MacMulkin I think. Best guess TPW 10/19. See my post #5 above for basis.
