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,
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 wonder it its driven by the date?
What other days in March did people go 3000?
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.
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...............
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.
