That's not really an option, to deliver a non-running truck, or a truck without components. Customers wouldn't accept it on delivery and get their deposit back. The DFM removal is slightly different because very few people really want that, I'd be thrilled if mine came without it. Also, GM is compensating affected customers $50.
I'm frustrated because for the past month my dealer kept telling me that it's "in transit" and to expect it any day. I find out now that it wasn't completed when they said it was built, and had never shipped even after saying it was in transit.
I don't need the truck now, and I understand what's going on in the world so I'm not growing a fit over first world problems. I'm just venting some frustration and sharing information I had hoping to help others.
