Seems logical that as orders come in they are built. Shipping would have some coordinating to do though. 
I also understand that the bigger dealers in bigger markets are getting more cars (but don't agree, however,) and I understand that the V6 was constrained for a while but now it is no longer constrained.
HOWEVER, I need further enlightenment:
1. Why are those big dealers getting so many built immediately? Couldn't they build a few cars everyday for the small guys? 
2. How come it takes 3 weeks from the order going in to production? 
3. When will production ramp up?
4. When will cars start getting shipped sooner than 3 weeks after production? 
5. AND finally, in case you missed it, I want my car and I want it now!  |
1. There's only one dealer that's getting an insane amount of cars (logical reason somewhere). The two largest volume Chevy dealers in the country (with the largest PGNs- 68/63) have only gotten 2 cars each so far.
2. If you're asking why it takes 3 weeks from the time the order is pulled until it is built, there's a 14000 car line my friend...
3. It is. It started at 150 on day one and was over 250 the other day.
4. Once the initial quality audits are done (hopefully soon) the cars will ship much faster than 3 weeks after they are built I would guess. BTW, this Monday will only be 2 weeks from start.
5. Don't we all my friend... don't we all...
