Current BG production estimate

[Gilles27]

After a careful review of all vin’s yesterday,
There were no verts built.
Maybe it was a regular 8-hour shift? 90 is about the number at the regular line speed of around 11 cars an hour.

How do you know? Have you heard of vins from anyone with a vert order?

Mark Riel reported after going through all 90 vins

 

[Gilles27]

Murray see above about 8 hour shift hope it's not because suppliers can't keep up

 

[Murray20c8]

SOmeone point out, quite accurately, that they started the HTC's but it takes 31 hours to build a car. We shouldn't see a HTC vin until tomorrow (today)

That makes sense so those VIN's maybe from friday cars

What I meant was that they started the verts yesterday, but they won't be finished until today so we'll see those vert vins in tomorrows report.

 

[Murray20c8]

Oh OH!!!!!
6801 > 6886 = 86
I was thinking that if they did add Verts to the mix they WOULD slow the line down, but this???

 

[Gilles27]

No second shift yet and line slow down TPW's are going to change fast!

 

[Murray20c8]

When they restarted they did so VERY slowly. Even though they had built CTF's for 6 weeks.
I can only assume that they would do the same with the verts and a quarter of the cars left to build are verts. A reliable source said they did work 10 hours.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

By the numbers, it looks like they were "there" for 10 hours...

 

[CamsC8]

Oh man...it's not looking good.

Surely that second shift will begin soon! It's not looking good for those of us waiting on 2021s.

If I were you I'd bank on 21's starting January at the earliest

Just spoke to GM Order management, my HTC TPW got pushed back a week to August 31.

 

[Murray20c8]

No verts came off the line yesterday. Parts shortage?? If they did indeed work 10 hours then they must still be doing CTF HTC's or .....

I would like to know how many verts come of the line tomorrow?

Hopefully Mark Reil will keep us up to date

Yes, seems like a very reliable source.

I know! I'm next in line at my dealer...oh well.

 

[Murray20c8]

So I was wrong in the time it takes to build a C8. It takes 2.5 8 hour shifts according to Corvetteblogger. So they did apparently start the verts on Monday and we should see them off the line today
