TPW Question

[MikesRapidZ06]

Good evening all. I would like to ask a question on TPW concerns. I have been reading posts and I see a lot are getting some fine rides. Well here is my story. I ordered my Rapid Blue Z51 in the Niagara region in February And got the 3000 status in about 10day so I followed up when the plant got back to work with GM customer care and got an October12 Build week. About 4 weeks ago the date came ahead to September 21. I contact GM customer care today hoping to have a closer build date and now they tell me no Build date as of today so WTF? Am I jump to conclusions to soon. I can tell GM has everything upside down on this model for sold units and trying to meet the builds but having a build date and, not now having one is BS. I have worked for many year for GM dealers and even at HQ in Oshawa for a bit and I understand the BS on ordering but I have been out of the game for 10 years any guidance or info would be appreciated.
Thanks

I wouldn't panic, there seems to be a lot of confusion at GMs end. A number of buyers on MEC forums have
complained about the same issue, losing TPWs. I'm not sure the left knows what the right is doing.
I called concierge last Thursday they told me there was no scheduled shipping date
for my built car, today I get notification it was shipped and will arrive tomorrow. Go figure.
I would check again next week, some think info is only updated once a week, so sometimes
you may miss the update by a day.
Don't lose faith it will get built!!

GM will shuffle TPW's from time to time as suppliers ramp up or down. That might be a sign of the second shift starting or being pushed back. When TPW's are reshuffled they disappear for a short period and then reappear. I wouldn't worry about it until the date and TPW gets closer together. When you are 3 to 4 weeks away from your current TPW it becomes locked in and won't change. A sign that the 2 shift is starting is O/T stops on the first shift. Only time will tell. I hear there are still a very few suppliers that aren't quite up to speed. The might be producing 80% of what is required for 2 shifts they can stock pile those parts until such times as the second shift can begin and use all those parts through November.

Thanks for the responses. Like you said "Patients" I will hope for 8/21 build week. With any luck maybe a bit sooner.
Enjoy the new rides
