Is there any speculation when these first 1000 will be delivered? When is production due to start? How many will be produced in one month?
Production start 5/31, delivery could be July if all goes well.jandouglass said:Is there any speculation when these first 1000 will be delivered? When is production due to start? How many will be produced in one month?
From an earlier post:Small Dealer said:From our late Friday night mailbox.
Because of the unprecedented demand for this low-volume vehicle, as well as our intent to deliver only the highest quality car to the marketplace, customers should expect to receive the First 1,000 Solstices in the fourth quarter of 2005.
I would have to say after reading through the rules again, I believe it states within 180 days from 24 April.???jandouglass said:Is there any speculation when these first 1000 will be delivered? When is production due to start? How many will be produced in one month?
Ok, let's say GM doesn't get the car to you within 180 days. What can you do about it? Nothing. They can say whatever they want.cyberdoc said:I would have to say after reading through the rules again, I believe it states within 180 days from 24 April.???

This could be a disaster for GM. If they lauched this campaign and can't deliver the cars during the summer, they'll get no customer loyalty.
ok...this should give some insight as to why its going to take so long. Whenever a company is late with a product and say they want to delivery the highest quality, it means something is wrong and they are trying to fix it. Who knows what it is or how big the problem is, but I would think there's a problem some where.Small Dealer said:From our late Friday night mailbox.
URGENT SOLSTICE UPDATE!
Because of the unprecedented demand for this low-volume vehicle, as well as our intent to deliver only the highest quality car to the marketplace, customers should expect to receive the First 1,000 Solstices in the fourth quarter of 2005. With the incredible response we are receiving from our customers, we are examining methods of meeting the increased demand.
We're committed to keeping open the lines of communication with you and your customers. As we have additional information, we will be passing it on.
Good point, small dealer allocation will create a time lag there, didn't think of that. Time to talk to your dealer and see what their regular allocation is. As C5 mentioned could be as a as 1 (or 0) to a high of 15-20 for mega-dealers.C5Vette said:Just a thought....
I think the biggest delivery "gap" between the EOP and regular cars will be due more to local dealer allocation. My small dealer, for example, only has one car allocated for the first quarter production. However they got 4 EOP orders. So they will get those in at the beginning, and then only have one car for the next 3-4 months (and who knows when that one car will come). So in their case the EOP cars will be there long before they see a real number of regular cars. This may not work out the same for larger dealers that have allocations of 15-20 cars. But with the limited production, I would think there are more dealers with small allocations than large ones.
What happened to the 5/31 production date?SolAnonInsider said:The cars are slated to be delivered within 180 days. Production starts in July/August, which means delivery in August/September, possibly as late as October.
