It seems to me they've been shipping cars for awhile according to all the pics of cars on transports on the highway.

Those are just press and tester cars. We've seen those going all over on trucks for a while now. Customer cars have not been released yet, and we know this because of the status codes on the cars.

None of the sold cars have left the factory. The ones on transports are Captured Test Fleet Vehicles going to GM.

Russ, can you check with your source to see if they think they will ship 500 cars by Monday AM?.

I don't think they are going to make it by Friday.

Makes sense to me ... a lot of cars are built. The GM press release stated shipping end of February beginning of March

I was at the car show 1 week ago today and they said the dealers will have them in about two weeks, so that makes one week from now or Friday March 6th, so by mid March they should be at the dealers.
Seems like the plan is all of the dealers getting them at about the same time and that would explain why they are moving them around the country now.
