How about a thread to update us lonely souls, waiting in limbo for our constraints to be lifted?

i.e...... Carbon Fiber Roof, Z51, and any others??:confused:

PLEASE post here..... any "good and reliable" information and/ or updates.

Us "constraint victims" would greatly appreciate the information.

Are we still under painted roof and Z51 constraints?
I have every intention of posting the constraint report as soon as it becomes available. I keep checking the website every hour or so and still nothing to share. Stay tuned. . .
From that other forum:

Default Constraints - April 16 for TPW of May 18 (both Z06 and non-Z06)
RPO............Description.............. ..................Availability
Z51............Performance Package............................50%
C2Q............Dual Roof Package (Body Color and Transparent)..0%
C2Z/C2M........Roof Panels ...................................30%
CFA............Standard roof (painted)........................55%
Z07............Z06 Performance package........................45%
CFZ - Z07......Carbon Fiber Ground Effects minus Z07 Perf Pkg.30%
CFV............Carbon Fiber Ground Effects....................15%
G8A............Velocity Yellow Tintcoat........................0%
Q6J............Spectra Gray Z06 Wheels.........................0%

Target Production Week of May 18, 2015 for both non-Z06 and Z06.

Velocity Yellow constraint is described as a Model Year Buildout Restriction. Most likely Velocity Yellow will not be available for Model Year 2016 and may not be available for the rest of 2015.
Roofs and Spectra Gray Wheels are described as Supplier Restriction.
Z51 and CFV are described as Material Restriction.
Z07 and CFZ-Z07 are described as Marketing Restriction

We HAVE to order a Z06 tomorrow. We did not get any constrained items to add to it (such as Z07, CFZ, CFV) but if you want one and don't care about those options give us a call today and order one! Call our dealership at 574-256-3000 and ask for Aaron the new car manager. Let him know you saw the post on the forum and he can place an order for you!

April 23 Constraint Report: Please note that this is the very last StingRay consensus for model year 2015, and that there are no Z06 allocations this week, nor the rest of the 2015 model year. We expect, subject to GM change, that the first consensus for the 2016 model year will be either May 14th or May 21st.

Good news is that starting for the 2016 model year, we have a forum dealer who is graciously going to provide us the constraint reports for each consensus.

Hmm. Z51 at 60%, and the painted and visible CF roofs add up,to 105%. Looks like GM is trying to clear out some of those long standing constrained orders.
I have a question... if GM is no longer taking orders for 2015's and your order is code 1100 (due to the roof constraint), then are you SOL and basically HAVE to buy a 2016 model??
Orders for 2015's can still be accepted between now and Tuesday. If it is not accepted by Tuesday, then your 2015 order will not be built, and yes, you would need to order a 2016.

There remains a very good possibility that the roof constraints will be with us for at least the beginning of the 2016 model year (maybe longer).

Ah I see. Thanks thats exactly what I wanted to know. (although not what I'd prefer to hear lol).

I might just change it to a glass roof and call it a day...
Notified today that my order has been confirmed for build 11 May after being held back for a month on Spectra Grey constraint so I might imagine that constraint might be changing. I even confirmed with GM Support.

Just confirmed at 3300

In my opinion, if you [as a company] are unable to provide your customer with the product they originally ordered, you should be more than willing to provide an alternate with equal or greater value to that customer, and "eat" any cost variance to keep that customer. I say they [GM] provide the option of getting a glass roof, since the regular roof is constrained... and provide it a NO additional cost.

That "might" start happening when they find at the end of a consensus cycle they have not been able to assign orders to every allocation. As long as dealers will assign an order, whether it's customer sold or dealer stock and GM "sells out" every consensus they have no motivation to change the system.

Just spoke with GM Online via chat. The rep mentioned that they are still taking 2015 model orders until 6/20/2015. I asked her to double and triple check that this was the case for Stingrays, applied to all dealers, etc..

Thoughts?
The current consensus for StingRays ends tomorrow, and if an order has not been accepted (status 2000) by midnight tomorrow, it will not become a 2015. This current consensus does not include 2015 Z06's which closed last week.

GM will be producing 2015 StingRays and 2015 Z06 though June 20th.
Just hit code 2000 (today) after I changed the CF Painted roof to glass!

Is it safe to assume that the TWP must be prior to 6/20, since that's when they will stop 2015 production, and since code 2000 guarantees that the order will be built as a 2015?

Yes, and since TPW's are always stated as the Monday of the week, your TPW will be June 15 or earlier.

Did your dealer let you know that the roof was holding up your order, or did you change it on your own accord?

Both...I found out through this forum that it was the roof, then the dealer told me , therefore confirming (I didn't say anything to them beforehand though).
This thread is being closed as the 2015 ordering process and constraints are all over. Thank you GatesChevyWorld, especially Ryan, for the great job you have done for the 2014 and 2015 model years, providing us those constraints for every consensus!

We will be opening a newly-created "2016 Constraint Update" thread either next week or the week after -- depending upon when the first 2016 consensus starts. We are thankful that Ken Fichtner, Denny Menholt Chevrolet, has volunteered to provide us the constraint update information as it is released!!! Thanks Ken!
