Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, and maybe I’m the only one who sees this……but does it seem like the orders with higher MSRP’s are getting their TPW’s first? From looking at the spreadsheet, that seems to be the case lately. What are your thoughts?

Shane provided updated TPW today. Production only slipped 1 week. Hopefully the 11/22 TPW will stick!

Thanks good, hut that 11/22 is scary af to me. It's my original tpw, but being only 3 days long makes just assume add a week to it lol.

My original hope of a birthday car is now a hope I magically get it before 12/4 but, if I miss that might as well. Be a Christmas tree car, and your damn right imma throw a bow on it for myself

Were you one of us that was previously provided a 11/15 TPW from Shane? I haven't reached out (trying not to bother, and be more patient here...haha), but I'm assuming I may then be in the same boat as you in light of the recent loss of the 2nd shift.

I have entered my data into the spreadsheet. I went 2000 today. Of course we don’t know the extent of the slowdown, but any guesses on likelihood of me getting my car before Christmas?

I'd put the odds pretty pretty low. Orders that got put in around the 20th and went 3000 by the 20th to 22nd had some TPWs in early Dec.

Factor in 7-10 days prior to yours, plus current slowdown, plus holiday shutdown Dec18th to Jan3rd and I'd say hope for a Jan build. Even if you got lucky and got a build the week leading up to Dec 18th, it could still take more than a week from build to delivery easily.

FWIW, I heard today that my TPW at 3000 status means "Tentative Production Week" and not Target Production Week. Like I have said prior, it's interesting that the TPW's posted are ALL lacking a 3300 date on this October Allocation Tracking Spread Sheet, including mine, because my 12/6 TPW is Tentative until further notice of advancing from 3000 to 3300/3400!

How are you all getting TPWs at 3000 status? I was on the chat and said I won't get a TPW until I hit 3400 status.

Same here, been at 3000 almost 2 weeks and still no TPW. How do so many others at 3000 have TPW's?

I suspect GarryL is correct that the TPWs that some of us (including myself) received from Shane at NCM were in fact "tentative" production week information, and not "target" production week dates. Latest word from my dealership is that I'm still at 3000.

Exactly! Here is a copy of the email from Lori at the museum that I got mid day today;

"As of today….

Status: 3000

TPW: (Tentative Production Week): 12/6

Yes, by 9;00 PM EDT 10/16 with any changes by 9:00PM 10/19. This is very interesting see what some salesmen are telling their customers.

Did he say you were still at 3000, or have you advanced to 3300? It will be interesting to follow our builds, as we both went 2000/3000 on the same dates.

@GarryL I'm very interested in tracking your order as well! Unfortunately Shane did not mention any advancement in status so I'm assuming that I still remain at 3000 and the updated date is still "tentative" as opposed to "targeted." I'll continue to keep this thread informed of any further updates!
