My Dealer informed me that's why I'm stuck at 3000

Do you plan on changing your order?

I'm afraid too, that will put me even longer wait I'm currently at 3000, if it would speed up my time I would consider changing to a standard top and adding the Full Length Dual Racing Stripe Package, Carbon Flash that now available, I ordered Silver so I think it looks pretty nice

If you at 3000 the constraint does not effect your order. I would second guess your dealers false info. On CF others have clarified that any status 2000 or above are not effected by this constraint.
I was at 3000 and moved to 3300 on Friday with the exposed carbon fiber roof. Many others have too. Just check up on it not sure the dealer has the right info.

But the timing of when the order will be built can be affected. I have had orders stall at 3000 while similar but not exactly optioned orders went forward. 3000 means Chevrolet expects all the parts for the order will arrive in a timely and usable manner and does not signify all the parts are at the plant.

We notice these problems because we are following Corvettes, not Malibus, but rest assured this is a normal part of any start up. This is why I have vowed to never do a retail order again, and I doubt I have broken that vow above a half a dozen times.
It is a delay but unless your order would have resulted in getting VIN 0001 it is a delay you will be happy to overlook once you have the steering wheel in one hand and the shifter in the other. At least you can identify the reason; more often than not the reason for delay is a guess and Chevy does not help by its refusal to identify what holds up production. I would say "trust me" but I am not sure that would calm your spirits. And do not forget: you will be getting want you want not what the dealer's inventory manager has decided you want. Laborsmith |

So true, I’m really ok with the wait, I knew it was going to be long, ordered early July been at 3000 since July 17th was hoping for mid-September ship now hoping for mid-October, defiantly would rather wait for a product that’s right. It’s like a long time ago when I was just a wee little one wait for Christmas morning to open that special gift you know you we’re getting

I have exposed CF roof and moved from 3000 to 3300 yesterday (9/11). Hope that means something.

Welcome to the 3300 dark hole. This is where the anger will begin guys. I have been riding this boat at 3300 long enough. Hope things change soon but word is its going to be a long road from here.
