Already 40 mid engine IVERS have been made within the Plant. However, the C7-building, assembly line employees, who are working Monday-Thursdays, 10 hour days, making 116 C7’s per day, are not yet building the ME’s.
However, the ME Integration Development Team (IDT) — the ME team with roughly half of its staff based in Warren, MI, the other being made up of those BGA specially chosen ME project employees, are building ME’s on very isolated Fridays. Could tomorrow (this Friday) be one of those days? There is a good probability that the answer is “yes,” as follows:
A schedule I learned about while in BG at the April National Corvette Museum BASH, has tomorrow as the next day for building the ME’s by the Integration Development team. Of course, that scheduled date was shared with me three months ago, and like all GM schedules, are always subject to change. However, in late April, the person predicted two dates for ME’s being build this summer, e..g, July 13th and August 10th.
During the week of July 13th, certain information was separately shared that indicated that something was happening at the Plant.
Last week, I received an additional confirmation (second source) that ME’s were assembled within BGA on July 13th, so if the schedule is still on track, tomorrow, August 10th, will be the next round of ME assembly.
BTW, for those who are still stuck on that oft-repeated, old and incorrect verse that there the will be second assembly line built, one for the 2020 FE’s , another new one for the ME’s, as there is not at this time a second assembly line, and since both FE’s and ME’s are now able to be build on the same, single assembly line re-constructed during last fall’s 13 week shutdown, that wrong refrain of two different assembly lines shall finally be declared as “double-E’d”, e.g., erroneous and extinct.”
Wouldn’t we all love to be hiding in the Plant’s rafters this Friday (August 10th), looking downward at the ME’s being assembled! Too bad, that is not a possibility.
