No plan to retrofit!

Wow...

Man I am still waiting but GMs ability to scale and meet the minimum order requirements is embarrassing for an automaker of their size. COVID started almost 3 years ago, stop with the excuses.

A freaking Toyota Corolla that retails in the $20s has wireless charging, adaptive cruise, etc and they can't do it for their flagship vehicles?

The more I read about all the 2022 & 2023 constraints, I am ever so glad to have a 2021

Dude, it isn't excuses. There truly is a significant issue w/ availability of semiconductors. I am in an industry heavily reliant on them, we are seeing lead times of 3-4x what they were pre-pandemic, in some cases as long as 60 weeks. This is not the car manufacturers alone (although one could argue toward building designs to offer that have fewer semiconductors -- and I am sure this will eventually happen).

The issues are complex, exacerbated by a few things, but this article does a pretty good job of outlining the issues...I know it sucks, but it is an issue that hits more than cars...don't just ***** about GM sucking, its truly a global issue. Educate yourself about it a little. And, if it suits you, go buy that Corolla.

Semiconductor shortage: How the automotive industry can succeed

As the semiconductor shortage persists, the automotive industry will likely benefit from new sourcing models and stronger bonds between OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and semiconductor suppliers.

Doesn't work the well anyways with my 14 pro. There's a 2 mm sweet spot that it needs to charge perfectly, and moves around too much to stay in place during city driving.

Wireless Apple CarPlay is another issue....

Dude, it's an excuse when their competitors have found ways to overcome these shortages.

No one is doubting the shortage, I'm doubting their strategy on how they are handling it. This is a forum about GMs and a thread about constraints, why would I not **** here? I appreciate your 'education' but GMs strategy is lacking.

GM has handled this worse than most manufactures. They chose to make more cars and piss off customers while increasing prices than to make less cars equipped as they should be at this price point. Then there is the topic or quality control, and big issues not resolved.

I sent an email to my dealer asking if my order will be affected by this. Not a super big deal I guess but something you shouldn't have to compromise on with a $80K vehicle.

 

[bunky319]

I just talked to my inventory manager about this. He said the memo from GM implies that "some trims may not be affected", but it doesn't give any indication on what those trims might be. His feeling was that I probably won't get it on my build and if I want, I can put my order on hold until it is available. He has another customer putting their order on hold for this very reason. But considering there is no "end date" as to when this will be available, I told him I need to move forward. I think this really sucks but I kind of need to get something in the next few months. Maybe I'll luck out and get it since I have a Denali ordered, but I probably have to assume that I won't.
