Due to the fact I am impatient and want my car, I set out on a mission to find out what in the hell is really going on at Bowling Green.
I started with the online chat. No go, my vehicle has been "accepted" but does not have a TPW.
I spoke with the GM chat person, and he stated he makes "internal" calls to check progress. After a lengthy conversation, and me claiming I was close to canceling my order because of GM keeping me in the dark for months, he gave me a phone number to a contact at Bowling Green. Out of respect of this persons job, I will not give out this number.
I called the number, and spoke with a very nice lady. She basically was in defense mode and I felt as if her mission was to calm me down and ensure that my car was close to being built and there is no reason to cancel my order.
She went on to say that production has begun on the new 2014 Corvette. I quickly asked for clarification as to if this meant "customer sold" vehicles or more test fleet cars. She said that limited production on customer sold cars has begun as of last week, and that only a "few orders have been pushed through as of now. These cars are undergoing strict quality checks before production ramps up to full speed. This makes sure less-than-perfect vehicles are not built and then mistakenly delivered and having to be recalled shortly thereafter. Please be patient as production control is expecting full speed customer production very soon." I also stated that is there any hard dates to work off as I sold my main vehicle and need one ASAP. She simply reiterated that "your order could even be one that has been built, but the current ordering system would not have this information until the production control approved full speed production and then the systems reflect actual progress".
Hope this helps.. trying to be patient here...
