50 foot waves! wow. So far, no ships with cars have sunk that I know of, but probably a lot of components have gone underwater.
I wonder how many containers go to the bottom of the seas every year? there must be a registry. must also be good for salvage companies, depending on admiralty laws.

Sorry to hear this, but should not come as a surprise. We went thru this and other delays with MY2020 without the benefit of the second shift, so hopefully what they learned over the first year delays will better prepare them for this years production. The pandemic is probably still the biggest threat to messing up the parts chain for all manufacturers. Roll with it as it is surely worth the wait guys!

Something other than a normal "Supply Issue" is going on here. My car was completed on 1/12. My dealer received notice that the car is now on "Hold" as well is seven of his other completed cars. Tale going around claims that a batch of bad connecting rods are a problem being looked into.

C8 production is reliant on Coronavirus success through the United States AND Mexico. Assembly in Kentucky. Contents from across North America.
And it’s a highly technological vehicle—technology whose “brains” —chips—are in very short supply globally.
ironically, this keeps raising the price of the C8 in resale market, as supply keeps getting constrained. About half the original plan.

The shutdown is due to the lack of transmission housings. The supplier out of NC has been having a lot of problems but as of 6pm today they were back up and running after a week of no production.
