Order was never accepted due to constraints.
Changed my order on 1/27 to drop some constraints and my dealer got an allocation for a high country. Lost the sunroof and changed to a High Country instead of an RST
Order officially accepted on 1/28 with a target production week of 3/7-3/14.
Vehicle produced on 3/15
Vehicle on the railcar and moving as of today, 3/17.

Estimated deliver in about 2 weeks.

Dealer has been fantastic, updating me weekly with constraints, status codes and updates throughout.

Same dealer I ordered/bought from. The sale's manager (Josh) is great to deal with. Excellent communication, even on his days off. I have bought many Chevy's from him. They still honored my supplier discount with no mark ups.

Congrats! FWIW, my Denali sat in an intermodal rail terminal for 2 weeks waiting for a truck to bring it the last 120 miles. The train trip from TX to WI took about 3 days. Then was kind of frustrating to know it was a short drive away waiting on truck delivery.

Anyway, it made it, no dings/scratches/etc. The anticipation was kind of like a kid at Christmas looking at the presents under the tree for the whole of December…but delivery day certainly felt like Christmas morning!! Enjoy all the anticipation and the new car smell!! And don’t get taken to the cleaners in the finance office

I would inspect these new vehicles very closely. I found 2 small chips on the front bumper of ours way down low where you can hardly notice them but they were there. and some light scratches across the front fenders. 3 miles on it fresh off the railcar. Looked at a denali and an escalade that were also on the lot being delivered to customers and they had the same light scratches. Something from the plastic that covers them during shipping or how it's being removed. Dealer buffed em out but had to get touch up paint for the chips and the "fix" looks like shit but again nobody but me will ever notice them

I’m sure someone else with a good dealer will pick up that mantle.

You’ll still see me around posting my progress on customization (leveling, wheels, blackout, tint, etc)

Also toying with flipping it after I customize and ordering a ‘23.
Considering flipping also.

stopped and looked at 22 Z71 with 5k miles on it - dealer was asking $79k, I asked the sales guy what the sticker was - $66-68K? he said nah - like $72k...I pulled the VIN off their website and the sticker was $64k and change...base Z71 with a sunroof and the manual second row buckets...

so yeah - flipping one would be a decent idea...

That’s a ridiculous markup for a used car. Maybe they can get away with it with a brand new one, if they get a desperate buyer with money to burn walking into the dealership.
