February Allocation
I went 3000 on February 17th; then the bad weather hit BG, and now the March 1 pause in production! Anyone, with a February allocation, moved to 3300 or beyond yet? Did you get a TPW?
Thanks,

I am also a February allocation and at 3000. With a 3 week delay, depending where you are on the 3000 list, I still expect my car to be built in late March or early April. Although our number is still at 3000, they produced almost 900 cars this past week meaning we did go up. With another MM allocation of 160 going in next week, I think MM and Kerbeck cars will have some priority because they can fill the entire trailer meaning they go directly to one dealer. So I think it makes sense that MM and Kerbeck orders are produced in batches so they have less cars on the lot waiting for transport. I think its harder for the smaller dealers who get one or two cars per month because they have to plan the delivery schedule and the order of the cars being loaded on the trailer. I am guessing on this but I think it makes a lot of sense.

Event code 3000 is GM’s C8 bread and butter. All it does is squeeze the buyer out of any deposit refund ensuring dealers ca$h in if buyers want to bail. It’s why they are quick to go to 3000 to “lock-in” that money. Event 3000 offers no timeline for further code movement and buyers shouldn’t see that code as implying anything more than the above. It USED to be EC3000 meant a a TPW was imminent, but now it doesn’t. You can sit at EC3000 for many months with no info or plan for that order. It’s now just a “warehouse” code and a locked one at that.
