I have been poking around some of the other TPW threads. It looks like once they cleared out the backlog of initial cars, the are getting cars from TPW to a ready for shipping within less than two weeks.

Assuming the don't add QC time to the 2017 models, it will be up to the logistics company to find space on trains and trucks then the dealer to install LPO items. A June delivery for some may be a real possibility.

There is a Chevrolet wide standard qc hold for all new model year production for the initial couple of weeks production. This also applies to new versions introduced in the middle of a model year. If a problem is found during the initial qc the hold may be for much longer.

All this is to say expecting an end of June delivery date is optimistic to the extreme.

2016 builds will be shipped during the course of the two week summer shut down.

Are you saying that my 2017 won't be shipped until after shutdown? :(

No one knows for certain, not even Chevy, but yes, that is what I am suggesting.

Holy cow. I'm desperately hoping that my guy inside comes through. I don't know if I can take waiting another two months when I've already waited 3. :(

I don't think anyone has waited that long for a mass production car that is being readily produced and has been out for months...

The 2017 model year Camaro is not in regular production and will not be until the 2016 finishes production.

I really appreciate laborsmith's insight and knowledge on this topic. It is a good thing to set proper expectations.

I checked with Becky - as long as the order status hits 4000, shipping continues through the plant shut down. I still like our chances for some late June / early July deliveries for those of us that ordered a model that has no production changes from the 2016.

If anyone knows of any production changes that impact all 2017 models, let us know. That would definitely blow my hope out of the water and create a longer QC queue and cycle time.

I think I've heard before MY changeovers often introduce changes to the production line procedures/techniques. Those can cause additional QC holds probably.

The oil pan change is one QC hold issue. Along with if they are badging them with the 50 wheel logo that is another thing.

I'm the one with the longest QC hold here by ordering a 50th. The rest of you guys shouldn't have too long of an extended QC hold I would think, other than a typical new MY hold period.

My issue is I have a special offer that expires in mid June... that should not be an issue for a car I ordered around Valentine's Day

Gonna be making a lot of calls. I might have to get a slightly different-specced car at this point, because if I don't it could end up costing me a decent chunk of change. What a joke.

That's going to be something between you and the dealer in regards to the deal offer.

But once order accepted, 2000 or later status, I don't think you can modify the order. Laborsmith or Becky would know for sure on this.

I don't want to go into the details of it, but this whole transaction is already super messy for the dealer and I. If what Laborsmith is saying is true, there's a good chance I have to refund my order.

It's frankly embarrassing that it's gone on like this. It's been an awful process from start til now

Will the dealer have my VIN/Invoice at least after the TPW? We can then work out the sales details at least at that point and then probably everything would be okay.

Dealer not invoiced till after vehicle built.

Status 4150 I believe.

In theory, that would be during the week of 6/6 though right? As long as it's before the 15th I think I could be okay.
