@EJChevy Do you believe BG can make up for 2 months of lost production (strike)?
How many they make for the entire year is irrelevant. Do you believe it will have any effect on anyone who has placed an order and is actually expecting to get a 2020 Corvette?
Most of H1 orders have been fulfilled.
No one knows how many H2 allocations there will be, so at this time it's completely irrelevant how many they're going to make. Besides, GM will focus on filling sold orders before anything else.
Shall we try to estimate how many they will make?
In 2019, from January 1st through to August 1st, they produced 14,112 Corvettes. Let us say they worked 5 days/week, no overtime, no days off. That would be 150 built/day.
They have added a second shift for producing the 2020 Corvette, so it would be safe to say they could build 250-300/day.
Production begins the first week of February, so that'll be 30 weeks(ish). From regular production, that would be 150 days of production. At this rate, they may build around 37,500 to 45,000, 2020 Corvettes. If they did one day of overtime every three weeks, that would be an additional 2,500 to 3,000 Corvettes.
Now the first few weeks will have lower production numbers as they get things ramped up. Could it be safe to say they'll produce 35,000 to 42,000, 2020 Corvettes?
IIRC, they originally planned for about 44,000 Corvettes. A 20% drop would mean 35,000 would be made.
Remember, from January 2018 to December 2019 they built 37,000, 2019 Corvettes. There were a few months of downtime involved in those two years.
I really don't think anyone needs to be worried about how many or how few 2020 Corvettes GM will make. As of today, a few thousand have been allocated to dealerships and they have production planned to the end of April. I feel confident they will be able to make enough to fulfill most, if not all sold orders (at least for the USA, who knows what will happen here in Canada).
