Right now they're probably only building a few a day 
.
However, typically the line in Oshawa has been good for pumping out a new car every 60 seconds or less ... basically, anywhere from ~60 cars/hour, upwards of ~75 - 77 cars/hour, I've heard
.
At 60/hr, that's 480/day, 2400/week, 9600/mth (4 weeks).
At 75/hr, that's 600/day, 3000/week, 12000/mth (4 weeks).
I don't believe there is more than just an 8-hour day shift working at this point, but perhaps they'll add a second shift (or weekends, or over-time) to get production going quicker? But who knows.
With 16000+ orders in so far, that's really just a couple months' light work

They're not going to sell any in Canada now?????
I don't see that happening.I'm sure it'll be no different than with all the other cars that come out of Oshawa. Probably ~90%+ go south of the border, and only a small percentage are kept/sold here. It's the population and demographics difference between us and the States
.Where did you hear we're s.o.l.?

Gotcha . Because dealerships are always where I go if I want accurate information on a particular vehicle 
. Man, those 4 dealerships must be GOOD if they can sell-out a car that isn't even for sale yet?!

he was saying one every 60 seconds, but I believe that's a bit optimistic.
GM hasn't said what capacity is yet. We do know they wont commence production at full capacity. They'll ramp it up to ensure the first 10 cars are assembled as well as cars 10001-10010 and cars 60001-60010.
