I just wanted to say 'thank you' to theMole for stopping in here and answering a lot of our questions, and more importantly for taking care of our new Camaro's.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Just curious

To be honest I don't know what the schedule is. All I know is the boss is still smiling

First, congrats on a great vehicle and now maintaining over 200 units a day. As far as "ramping up" further, are enough component parts available flowing into your system to accommodate that or are you currently limited by component part availability at different points on the line?

Mole, yesterday did you guys stop somewhere just shy of 2000?

No cars are "scheduled" to be built that far in advance. Your order get's pulled and 3 weeks from that date is the estimated TPW. Don't listen to your dealer when he tells you it's "scheduled" to be built. Shoot, have the times dealers say "built" = "pulled" when in actuality there's approximately a 3 week difference.

We are doing good so far. In the past we had to wait for suppliers to keep up but they are doing this build right and taking it easy. Past models we would build as many as possible as fast as possible. We are in a controlled ramp-up.

Hi Mole buddy. Can you hint to us what the plans are to increase production? More shifts or perhaps increase output to 350/shift, weekends...

You are cool and thank you for sharing.

Still confused on this language. w00t, can you help me out. What exactly does the term "pulled" mean - is there an event code that corresponds to that term? I still don't know if my order has been "pulled".

I'm over 300 miles from the dealer and I'll be driving there this weekend for a sit down. Need to know the proper questions to ask.

Thanks for helping me out!

Thanks Mole for the info!

Pulled = 3000 and higher.

2SSONLY · 04-01-2009, 08:58 PM

Awesome! Thanks! I've been at 3000 for almost 4 weeks and still no TPW according to the dealer. Like everyone else, chomping at the bit to get the car.

Great passing the time on this site. Would be a longer wait without it!!
