So in this GM authority article they’re saying November 2023 to start building the refresh 2024, so is it more of a mid year refresh? Because I thought orders opened end of May and production started July for the 2023’s? So you would think the same for 2024’s.....?

So this would make it seem like anyone looking to get the refreshed 2024 is probably looking at an actual delivery in 2024 (versus second half of 2023). I suppose you could get lucky and get one in very late 2023, but given production issues to date, I wouldn't bet anything on that outcome. For someone like me, who is already over six months in (and I know there are many who have been waiting longer), I would be probably looking at a total time frame from initial order to delivery of 2024 of 19-24 months. That's a lot of time to watch your current vehicle continue to depreciate while you hope and pray nothing major happens to it that requires a cash infusion to bridge that sizeable and expanding timing gap.
I'm sure the 2024 refresh will be nice and will be a better looking car with better functionality, but, for me, waiting an extra 9-12 months beyond the 4-5 more months I'm planning on waiting seems to be too much. My best guess is that I will get a call that my order has finally been picked up for production around the same time they are officially releasing the images and specs of the 2024 refresh. It will piss me off that I'm essentially buying something one step closer to obsoletion, but that's the breaks I guess. Unless I'm willing to wait that extra 9 months, I need to suck it up and move on.
I will make a bold prediction (it's not at all really bold) that the 2024 models will feature darker themes (not quite vader chrome, but something closer to it than the current models). I don't know if black wheels will continue on in their current form, but there seems to be a general shift towards less shine and more black accented by satin metals.
