Default C8 Build Time

Hello Fellow Members,
I know this might be a wild *** guess. But my build date starts September 21st. What is the average build time now since full production is underway. Trying to gauge my timing to be home to receive the news. Thanks

If 9/21 is your TPW, the “W” stands for week. Therefore, your car could get built anytime that week, from SEP 21 through SEP 25. A C8 takes about 36 hours from the first step through completion, so if it’s started on FRI 9/25, it won’t get finished until the following week.

I'm 9/21 also. From what I have seen watching forum threads over the past several months, I think you are realistically looking at early October, depending on where you live.
