The Corvette Assembly Plant is however facing difficulties with pieces supplies, and regretably, we just got word the facility will be closed subsequent 7 days because of source chain concerns.

That has because been confirmed with a plant spokesperson who states operations are predicted to return on October 24th:
“Due to a temporary components supply difficulty, we can confirm that Bowling Green Assembly will not operate output the week of Oct 17. Our provide chain, manufacturing and engineering teams are doing work closely with our offer base to mitigate any even more influence on generation to satisfy the strong desire for our products and solutions. We count on the plant to resume usual operations on Monday, October 24.”
The last shutdown of the Corvette assembly plant occurred the week of August 29th.

We’ve been hearing that wheels are trying to keep some vehicles from delivery, and it is possibly no coincidence that the Q9I Gloss Black 20-Spoke wheels are now 100% constrained. Nevertheless, these weekly shutdowns are generally brought on by delays in acquiring several components.

Speaking of constraints, all those came out these days as well. Appears like dealers can purchase Z51s with Magnetic Ride Command, but the bulk of orders positioned for non-Z51s will have to be ordered without the need of MagRide. There is a restricted quantity of FE2s available so test with your seller. In addition to the 100% constrained wheels, the 5ZZ Carbon Flash Superior Wing is also not offered to purchase, nor can you purchase the SFE Chrome Wheel Locks.

The Corvette Assembly Plant has manufactured much more than 14,000 Corvette Stingrays for the 2023 model yr to day.
