I'm baffled.
We have extensive waiting lists of Stingrays and Z06 models, all coming out of a single plant, which cannot keep up production now.
It only stands to reason that the introduction of the E-Ray, even in minimal numbers produced, will lengthen the waiting time for the others.
While I am sure those waiting on a Stingray or Z06 will not be pleased, so long as it's a minor inconvenience, they won't abandoned ship.
In contradiction to this is GM's proclamation of going electric for the future.
For it, or against it, I think this is inevitable
If the E-Ray is the stepping stone in the Corvette line up to electrification, how can It be stymied by only producing minimal quantities?
Further, I have difficulty imagining that with all the research and 'hoopla' put into this venture, that GM will leave the project idle.
My opinion is that once on the market, the E-Ray will be produced at a very significant pace.
This pie is only so big - where does this E-Ray slice come from?
Like many, I'm on several lists, both E-Ray and Z06, because, quite frankly, I don't have a clue.
