Start of 2024 Production

[meyerweb]

Do we know what the potential impact could be on C8 production?

None. The distribution centers supply parts to dealers, not to the assembly plant. BGA gets it's parts directly from suppliers or subcontractors.

It takes less than 2 shifts to build a C8. So it won't enter the main line until Monday early to mid morning.

It takes less than 2 days not 2 shifts

No, you're wrong. It's less than 1 day on the main line.

"Provided there are no hiccups in the process, it takes two days to build one new Corvette from start to finish."

Edit: The whole process takes several lines before the body and chassis are mated on the main line. Which starts sometime Mid morning Monday.

So you agree with me that the whole process takes 2 days

LOL, ya, but I said less than a day on the main ASSY line.
2 days includes painting the panels etc.

If you really want to get picky we should include when the parts are ordered.

UNIFOR will strike against GM Canada if a deal is not reached tonight Oct 9 by 11:59PM. If this happens, it will shut down the St. Catharines plant that is making all the Corvette DCT transmissions which in turn will shut down Bowling Green Corvette plant.

Would BG have parts to build for awhile or would they shut down right away?

No, only what's in the pipeline....All Auto plants operate 'JIT' for quite sometime. Couple days worth of parts at the most in the pipeline, probably less....
