The '22 numbers might be higher due to the start of new model production and covid related items at that time. Interesting none the less.
Figured I would give an update on my status as well for my order.... after the sales manager said I could gave the allocation on March 18th, he gave me a new order number for the XL. After asking him some questions about timelines, and him being completely clueless, I gave it 3 weeks of the "your order has been submitted but not accepted" via GMC chat. I decided to goto the dealership when I knew this guy had a day off and talk with the other sales manager. Turned out, the order number he gave me for the XL was in somebody else's name for whatever reason still and this sales manager couldn't give me any info since he was not involved On either order.
Next day, my sales guy emailed me saying something got screwed up and his general manager would call me that afternoon. After sending a followup email to that response 7 and 9 days later, the GM called me on day 10 called me. He told me he "begged GMC for an allocation for me because of the mishap" (typical sales bs excuse in my opinion). So he got an allocation for me, being for my original SWB order instead of the XL. Workbench shows event code 2000, and GMC chat working is similar to reflect that. TPW around 5/20 according to him during our call.
After this thread, I got a little excited for an XL, but obv not going to turn this down after patiently waiting since september. I am more than likely going to throw in an order for a 23 XL when the books open up, and if the resale values are still high and I can get a pretty evenly priced swap, will do so depending on how the SWB works out for me.
And now the waiting process part 2 begins.
had something similar happen...
placed a couple orders at our local dealer we have bought several from - had several discussion with the owner about our 2021 and wanted to get out from under it - not financially - it had just become a headache especially when they weren't giving a loaner every time we brought it in (15x in 9 months), was just throwing things at the wall trying to get them to stick in submitting a couple orders in Dec/Jan...4-5 months later none have been accepted
mid February I stopped by the same dealership and the owner told me they had just submitted four "stock" orders that nobody had claimed yet...so I claimed one right then, got the print out from GM workbench with the order number while I was standing there...
two months later after I had noticed the TPW sliding later and later, I stopped in and verified everything was still good to go - emphatic yes, don't worry this is yours.
two hours later that day he called and said he had accidentally recently promised that one to a fleet customer and that I couldn't have it, when I asked how he wanted to resolve him promising a vehicle that he had said would be ours, he simply said he had to let the other guy have it since they buy more cars from him...
let's just say we won't be doing business with them anytime soon
Thankfully I didn't put all my faith in one dealer and an order I had put in at another dealer in Jan came in last week
I can see more and more of this going to happen over the next 6 months...
