Default Early VIN numbers still waiting

For the life in me, I don’t understand why my serial number 922 and my best friends 851 has not been shipped. It seems they have been shipping cars right off the line while ours just sit there. Please don’t tell me it’s a QC control. They have been built for over 30 days. That is total bull ****. Please post if your car serial numbers are also early and still waiting for them to be shipped. Cincinnati is a big market so getting enough cars for a truck load doesn’t fly. The trucks all pass Cincinnati on there way up I 75 north to Detroit. The corvette concierge is a Joke. They don’t know anymore than we do. I traded my 2019 GS to the dealer last August. Post your serial number hear and I’m going to see if we can get them shipped soon. Thanks

That was me being nice. He screwed up GM giving out TPWs for a few YouTube views and never apologized for it. I stand by my original post.

I'm as frustrated as anyone, given that my car was built on 2/6 and I still don't have it. Given the issues with the website at the time of ordering, the strike, retraction of the ground effects (although I got my 5VM parts...which are defective), misinformation reported by Corvette Concierge, long delays in shipping cars and the announcement related to remaining 2020 orders, it's hard to imagine how GM could screw this up any worse. Such a shame that all of this overshadows what should otherwise be an exciting time for buyers and Corvette fans. I also feel bad for dealers that are left scratching their heads, on top of dealing with angry customers. In my case, the dealer has been invoiced for my car and paying interest on it, while not having it in his possession or even knowing when it's coming. Absolutely **** poor execution from GM. In fact, so much so, that I've pulled the deposit I've got on an early '21 Escalade order. I have no confidence they'll be able to pull that off without considerable brain damage either. As the owner of a large manufacturing company that works with GM, I can say that they would never accept this kind of bungling from my company...

Well waiting and waiting, dealer billed, car sitting at BG. I really feel for the dealers, looking like it will be April or longer to get this car that will soon, be a model year old, No info, even the dealer don’t understand why the delays, may just cancel and reorder after all the dust settles.

Sort of glad I wasn't in the first batch of cars.....now waiting on my TPW to re-appear. Hoping the workers at BG are safe and this whole thing blows over quickly....for the sake of everyone and my 401k.
