Chatted with Chevy Chat Agent and the dealership this morning, looks like the in laws 2023 Tahoe is in transit with ETA of 3/2! BOOM!

Order was accepted by GM on 2/16, TPW was 3/13 and ETA to dealership is 3/2. Looks like 7 weeks from the time it was accepted by GM to delivered.

Lancistul, I just reread your post and noticed you’re in the PNW…do you mind listing which dealer you ordered through? We’re wondering if we should switch dealers since our order still hasn’t been accepted and we’re moving backwards on the list.

Of course, it's Laura Buick GMC in St.Louis, but there's a story , of course. It's obviously not close to me.
I was appointed to them by a GM Marketing Supervisor, after I got screwed for 8 months by a small GMC dealership in Idaho.... wich would of never gotten the allocation for my car since they didn't sell ANY yukon denali diesel the previous year (apparently that's a thing), and the dealership knew this and should of told me ... The Supervisor said she's gonna have me reorder with THE, or one of the, largest volume of sales of Yukons in the country... so if you have doubts bc you ordered from a small dealership, yes, personally I recommend going with a large one... The small dealership didn't even ask for a deposit, so I didn't lose money with them...

Not sure if it is helpful, but I have ordered two cars from Chevy/GMC Bellevue. The 2022 Suburban was a Lemon replacement, so probably not helpful (it was accepted obviously within a week or so). However, I ordered a Bolt EUV last November, and it was accepted in 3 days, built within a month or so, and I took delivery in early Feb. They have a pretty high volume generally I think (other dealer orders for Bolts from summer are still waiting), but I no idea about their GMC Denali sales.

I have to say though, I don't get backwards on the list?

How many allocations a month does your dealer receive? I'm a bit surprised they said you went backward on the list... Usually dealers will be overly optimistic so it's nice to see some honesty, but also a bit concerning.

You'll love the space of that XL compared to your '19 Tahoe! We have 5 kids and upgraded from a Honda Pilot.

We were originally told 2-3 allocations a month, but when I went in the other day they said they just aren’t getting allocations for Denalis. It was two different guys than we had been working with previously, so not sure if they just didn’t want to deal with us or were being more truthful than the other guys we ordered through.

We don’t mind waiting - we can fit everyone in the car we have, currently, and understand that it’s a weird time to buy a car. But, I also thought it was odd to go backwards on the list, which has us second guessing our dealer choice. When I asked how, they just shrugged their shoulders.
