Isn't Craig Jackson a customer? LOL
His car was ordered as a factory order, and his car is still sitting at Flat Rock. It was originally suppose to be delivered on Oct 3rd. Notice the order number: 0001
This is from today.

I just got off the phone with FP and at this time no customer cars have been built or are in production. No answer as to why.

Easy. the cars are staying local (easy to address issues) and insiders will keep their traps shut.

I'm suspecting the release of the C8 has caused another go at the tuning and such, to squeeze out more performance so it will have better reviews. Just snowballing, but SOMETHING is happening here.

I have been notified by members on the list of changes they received today. One member reported his has been changed to 12/02.
It looks like the plant will close for 11/5, 11/11, 11/21 & 11/22 and Christmas & New Year from 12/24 to 01/01 and return to work on 01/02. Assuming there isn't a change with the new UAW contract.

You are now behind me...I'm still 11/11 according to Noah @ FP. I didn't plan on calling 2 days in a row but this is just weird and once you were pushed I was almost sure I was!

I donā€™t know if this has been mentioned, and I didnā€™t realize this. According to Noah, your build day is actually the day it is completed. Heā€™s told me this twice, and I have no reason to doubt him.?

If I canā€™t get my car by mid November I donā€™t even want it until April. Just going to have to pay to store and insure it. They sure were fast when they took my 10 grand deposit in July.

I can't remember anymore who is getting CFTP vs base, but is there any correlation to this?
Mine is a Base in TO with Handling Pkg and Recaros. Nothing too complicated. VIN = 0195. Now week of: 12/2.

I donā€™t know if this has been mentioned, and I didnā€™t realize this. According to Noah, your build day is actually the day it is completed. Heā€™s told me this twice, and I have no reason to doubt him.?
As I understand the process, once the build starts at FRAP, it only take a few hours (maybe over 2 shifts at most). Its the stripes, and other activities that take more time (measured in days).

Also, from what I know, FP is not at FRAP. FRAP decides when cars are built. When you contact FP, they are simply looking up the VVR that your dealer can see. FP has little input on what cars are built and in what order.
I also note from my detailed VVR that all my updates/changes occurred on Saturday afternoon. Not sure why that is....
So these delays are coming from FRAP.
