MACMULKIN E-RAY Order Discussion / Unofficial Waitlist
#141
My local dealer is probably in this volume range, and they got an allocation for an E-Ray. I saw posted somewhere that there was speculation that GM may be trying to make sure geographically that they're spreading them out across the US. I think that could likely be the case.

The answer is yes most likely that those dealerships that want an ERay allocation will "eventually" get one the issue is so far the ramp up for ERay has been pretty slow so 2024 most likely will be low volume MY with 2025 GM ramping up.

During the first six order cycles, GM sprinkled some Z06s around smaller dealers, even ones that probably sold no more than 10 corvettes per year. In a few months I expect e-ray production to start ramping up more, just as the Z06 did, and they'll show up in greater numbers at smaller dealers too.

Finally, if I'm going to lose my MY price protection at MM because of short production, I BETTER get some cool upgrade goodies with a '25 and the all but certain price bump.

It will be interesting to hear what the Corvette Leadership Team has to say at the annual Museum Bash about this painfully slow rollout and why delayed from last fall. They will surely be asked.

ERay waiting list on MacMulkin's site doesn't seem to be working for me. But based on above I probably only moved up one.

Nope. Too much money spent on hyping it up to be intentionally strangling production. It has to be a unique component to Eray. My guess is the small battery. Chevy learned all to painfully from the Bolt that tiniest manufacturing defects in batteries can make for catastrophic outcomes both in the physical sense and that in public relations.
