Yes, I think the first shift is always faster.

It's very unlikely.
Assume 2 shifts, days & afternoons.
Day shift builds the identical units as afternoons, at exactly the same pace.
There's no /zero chance the workforce numbers are different between shifts. Auto assembly lines are designed/stocked that way.
If the line needs to stop for breaks......usual circumstance is when a tad too many line workers call in sick, that'll lessen daily numbers by ~2-10 / day.
Not much else, short of a line breakdown and part shortages will cripple an auto assembly plant. It's all about numbers, on the inside.

Good points. It's what I've heard, but I have no direct information on such things. As you suggest if there is any difference it won't be by more than a car as the tack time should be identical for both shifts
 
Apparently a credible source.

All, I just received more information regarding the parts shortages and their projected impact to Novembers and Decembers Builds.
  • One shift operation will remain for the week of 11/1 - as reported.
  • Two shift operation will resume start the week of 11/8 - as reported.
  • Mid November ( TBD) - still very fluid of the actual timing of the parts shortages, GM BGA will run out of ECM's for both the heated seats and heated steering wheel.
GM BGA will continue production at the Two Shift / 180 Vehicles per day rate during these parts shortages and will have these vehicles that have been impacted shipped to the dealers for retrofitting the required missing ECM's, this will avoid the reduction in production and allow the customer to receive their vehicles with least amount of impact to their schedule build dates.

The dealer network has be informed of the impending situation and GM will be releasing a formal bulletin in the near future..

Hmmm, I guess a cold seated vette is better than no vette.

How invasive would a retrofit be for the heated steering wheel/seat ECM? Is it a matter of all the core components are there and it's similar to a process of adding in a fuse or is it more of taking taking the car apart?

It will literally just be plugging in the small ECM module under the dash. Seamless

Ouch! Anyone else feel like their 2022 delivery is slipping away?

Yep, to the point that I'm looking at alternatives in the meantime (plan B back up cars)..... I could tell speaking with Andrew at BS, that he is beyond frustrated and GM Canada doesn't have answers either.... I know, first world problems for sure and I have to be patient... but, there is so many other good alternatives out there and more on the way. (Yes, I know, the C8 is special and doesn't have much competition.. but still). Ugh....

Does the reduction seem to be a little too coincidental with the transmission issues? Could they be delaying production while they conduct better quality checks on the parts in the system until the long term solution is found?

My guess would be no.
There's still money in producing bad units. GM can pass those repairs onto the dealer network.
Kentucky is not anywhere near the top of the heap when it comes to vaccinations. Only 38% of the population has received a 1st shot, and the county bowling green is in, is one of the worse in the country.
Combine sick employees with several parts m.i.a and it's amazing they're getting anything off the end of the line.
