Otherwise they'd now be paying to dispose of parts, bodies, and engines "just because" it is January 2024, rather than getting paid ~$40-80k for each unit assembled.

I'm not arguing that MORE Camaros would get built if production stretches beyond January, only that none would be lost/truncated, since their January 2024 end of production date was probably based primarily on inventory of long-lead or high-value parts on hand. Or is there something else that would constrain end of production firmly to a date on the calendar (e.g., January 2024), versus parts on hand?

I am old enough to remember the GM strike in 72. If memory serves, it was the lowest production year of any second gen Camaro, which had an eleven year run.
