I also saw the post about GM and what they did for the C8. FCA could definitely spend more time thinking about how to keep customers informed and engaged.
Same, it will be 4 months next week and still no Vin... I don't bother checking anymore.... At this point, it will be interesting to see if they honor my trade-in value when they originally planned for a jan/feb delivery which now looks like apr/may...
Regarding your sales rep, not sure how he or she thinks the first wave of trucks have been built and shipped, since we have heard no public fanfare anywhere about the first customer truck rolling off the line, as many in this forum have speculated will occur.They said Q4 once we got to Q4 and they had no answer. At launch production was suppose to start in October with deliveries before thanksgiving was the claim. I went through a C8 Corvette order during this pandemic and was at least informed the whole way through with consistent updates along the way from the top down. Dates were not available for orders more then 2 months out but delays and hurdles were communicated out to dealers every Thursday and to most customers Friday morning. GM stood up a corvette concierge team to specifically tackle the c8 order challenges for customers.
Almost everything about the TRX has been back channel information. This forum is more informed then most dealers. My sales rep tried to tell me don't worry, the first wave of trucks have been built and shipped out to customers so I should get an update soon which is clearly not the case. It just seems like bad business
You are right about one thing. We at least have each other in this forum *group hug moment*

Congrats to your dad. Looks great. I picked mine up last week and love it so far. I am in the 300s on the waiting list for the z06 at 2 dealers. I had a chance to be 75 had I sent the deposit in August but you know....I ordered a TRX instead lol. The base c8 is a pretty impressive platform and the amount of attention this car gets is pretty cool.
Guys I ordered mine on Friday Nov 13th. Maybe I should have waited a day later. The sales guy told me realistically 3-5 months. . I am trying to be patient and resigned myself to a late March delivery and happy Spring motoring. I live in Nj so I think an early Spring delivery will be awesome. But if it takes much longer I am going to go nuts. Normally I am very impatient. This is good practice to reduce my impatience.
You've got a very similar build to mine. Color (mine is white) and trailering options (I didn't get any) are only difference. This must mean carbon fiber is no longer show stopper. Neither of us have bead lock wheels if I read the line right.So this happened to me today... My dealer told me I went to D1 with a build date 12/28 - I was the 3rd allocation out of the 3 they had. I'm surprised I'm D1 before the LE..

I ordered mine on nov 13. Is there a link where I can at least see my order and my name.?
You probably have to go to your dealer and have him provide it for you.....
So am I, however 1 of the 10 allocations of my dealer has gone into D1 as of today with a build date of 12/28. Seems that maybe we are turning the corner.... CheersMessaged my dealer and still stuck D status
First 30 will have loose bolts and leak fluid. Heard it from a reliable source. We want ours after.
