What's this one mean from the chevrolet chat? "Your vehicle order has been accepted by General Motors and is moving toward the production process."? Is that 2000 or 3000 (or other)?

A little clarification about event code 3300 date and TPW.
The spreadsheet entries under "3300, TPW" are the actual Monday dates indicating the week your car will come off the final assembly line.
There has been some confusion that the date is when 3300 was achieved. So, if you are checking with a source and they say you are at 3300, be sure to ask what the TPW date is. Thanks
edit: if I was to do it over, I would have a column for the date reaching 3300, and another for the TPW, the same for the VIN (a date column and a data column).

2000 = accepted by GM
3000 = accepted by production control

I was wondering about that, Thanks. Maybe I'll try that later.
It means that you only got a response from the automated system. I found that when I saw that, I had to click 'Done and Dissatisfied' in order to get transferred to a live person. The live person will give actual status. You might also try typing 'Agent' to get a person.

Thanks. I think I'll just wait until Ciocca updates their list. I was fine "bothering" an automated chat, but trying to leave real humans alone. Appreciate the info from everyone.

Makes sense. Right now though, doesn’t matter too much if I’m at 2000, 3000, or 3300, I’m still weeks away. Trying to remain calm. 😂
I normally eschew calling customer service numbers and loathe wasting my time waiting incessantly. That said, I had great luck calling the Corvette Concierge (866-424-3892) twice this week. First confirmed 3000 status. The second to confirm 3300 status. In each instance, an agent picked up in seconds. I'm like you, no problem "bothering" a bot, but once I understood I was getting a canned bot response and not the information I was seeking, I was glad to try the concierge option.

Update on my order, confirmed from Shane at the Museum that I went to 300 yesterday with the TPW of 10/11 now noted on my order. After a year in the deposit line and with all the horror stories, I never in a million years thought I could see this car by Halloween.
Very prompt in his response. I agree with the sentiment that for those not doing NCM delivery, that becoming a member or making a donation is the right thing to do. I can't believe the stories of promptness I'm hearing.

does the TPW mean that my car begins production this week, or that it will end production this week? for example, if it begins production this week on Thursday or Friday, it will be completed next week
does anybody know?
thanks
Target Production Week
This is the week that the factory is forecasting that your car is going to go down the line.

No, it was literally a two-line response with Code 3300 and the TPW. Sort of got the sense that he has a pretty full inbox to get to....
My guess is that with the potential for slowdowns or stoppages still out there (knocking on wood) as well as the possibility of a car being pulled for the extra quality control review that it's pretty worthless to do anything more than guess, even at this point which seems miles ahead from where we all were just last week.

At least for me Chevy chat said "Your vehicle order has been accepted by General Motors and is moving toward the production process." but then went talking to a person I was actually at 3300, but didn't know tpw.
