2021 Production starts Dec 8th

Looks like you're right Murray. From your table, even if we add another 14 cars/day to your 171/day estimate, to get to the 185/day GM is estimating, over the remaining 20 days to finish at December 7, that results in another 280 cars and adding them to your 18,865 December 7 number, gives us 19,145 which is 1,036 short of the goal of 20,181. That's short by about 6 production days if I'm doing my math correctly. And that assumes no slowdowns to the 185/day which is historically a high number. Perhaps (?) they intend to run overtime or work on weekends? I'd hate to be someone waiting for a 2020 at 3000 status and one of the last ones produced. If GM stops making 2020's on December 7, they may not get their C8.

But Andy correctly caught the comment in the article, that they may produce both 2020's and 2021's at the same time. If so, maybe they'll time it so any 2020 is built by the end of the year. Seems somewhat odd to juggle the 2 production years that way.

There is absolutely NO reason to push the 2021's out early.
They will build cars as fast as they can as long as the parts hold up. Covid numbers in the states are soaring again.
GM cares not about when they start 2021's. They only care about getting all the 2020's built.
They have a captured audience so to speak with buyers for 2021's and beyond so no rush.
That site is just click bait. It's all made up B.S.
Getting people excited like that is just wrong.
 
No. Contracts have been signed. They would become void if the dealer can't fulfill the order to the customer. If GM can't produce the orders they said they would then they likely have a loophole, but it would mean they'd lose that money. No guarantee those buyers would line up for a 2021 not to mention the paperwork nightmare. Much easier for them to just complete all 2020 orders. Cash money in the bank. They already have a long list of buyers for 2021's.

Nothing said on this site gets to me any more l would be very upset to get one of the last 2020s. So l will get a rise on when l get my low number 2021and not until , l think every one of us has put in enough blood sweat and tears waiting for our dream cars that excitement is for the ones who have in the last 3 months made one of the most emotional decisions of their lives. My hat is off to all of you .
