The chat won’t tell you if it’s being held due to the chip issue.  My truck has been built and “awaiting shipping arrangements” since February due to the chip shortage.  I’ve had a VIN since mid-February.

 

My truck was sitting at status 4200 for a while, and then 4D00, and now I just learned that it was assigned a new event code “MP”, presumably for Micro Processor.  Still no idea when any of this will be resolved. 
 

The dealer should be able to tell you the status and whether it is truly on its way to you.

The dealer thinks it’s a chip so I don’t know if he sees the MP code or just guessing cause of 4300 quality check. Does the chat tell you it’s MP or do they give you one of the 4000 codes? The chat still says 4300.

Officially 4D00 for MP now. Sad times. My dealer claims sold orders are going to get priority. We will see.

I found a truck in-transit and called the dealer to make the deal over the phone. My local dealer said I could order one but they had no idea how long it would take. They were also selling trucks on the lot for 10,000 over MSRP.

I haven't been able to find a single truck within 1000 miles of me that has the price I agreed to with the deposit and with what I want on it. Waiting is the only sensible answer but isn't the one I wanted to hear. Its a base LT- I was hoping the lack of exotic packages would at very least keep my delay shortish. Dealer said 2-6 MONTHS

How do you see your status number???

 

I used the chat feature on GMC.COM and looked up my order which didn't have any details. At the end I said "dissatisfied" and a live agent came on and told me what the status was.

 

I've read other forums that the rebates are being pulled and prices increased even on pre-existing orders. Can anyone confirm this? I get supply and demand, but usually a pre-order for any purchasable goods is at a locked in price.

I was told any GMC rebate depends on what is available once the vehicle is delivered and can be invoiced, not what is available when order placed.

While the factory rebate is subject to delivery, I locked in my price (and even my trade-in if I keep my car under a 130k miles hah) with my dealer. I have it in writing, which is why my dealer would really love for me to take my deposit back due to delays hah.

So my dealer is back to saying it is 4D00 and the Chevy chat keeps saying 4300 and its in transit "To Roanoke" with an eta of 5/26. Anyone have experience of the dealer and chevy saying different things and who may be right?

GM says the dealer is the best source of info.  The dealer says that GM is the one building the truck and they only have the info that GM gives them.

 

Good luck.  What a failure of customer service.

Inability to confirm status can be a communication break-down or worse, may reveal that even GM doesn't know status or ETA.  

 

Have the mfg'rs ever had to park this many incomplete vehicles?  I think this is a real curveball for their production/quality control flow.

Yeah I'm starting to get the picture that I probably will know something the day they drop it off. The chat's info sounds like its on its way to the train because the plant is pretty much right at Roanoke IN and I live in Alabama, but if the dealer shows 4D00.... I don't understand why their system would show two different things. OH well. Let the wait begin. I just hope the truck isn't full on lost in the system.

Ordered a 2021 1500 Denali 6.2 with every option (minus accessories)

Order date: 3/15

Accepted: 3/16

Original TPW: 5/10

Updated TWP on 4/23: 4/26

Completed and shipped end of 4/26 week (don't know which day, is on train in transit as of 5/5)

Told will be ready for pickup at dealer (in AZ) on 5/18 by both my sales/dealer and CS.

 

FWIW.

Update - vehicle was delivered to dealership on the 18th as GM stated, and I took delivery on the 19th. 

No markup beyond what price I was told, rebates were still on it etc. 

No issues. 

My dealer did have allocation when we ordered, and he definitely was intimately familiar with which features/accessories would cause delays. If you walk in to order and just say I want A/B/C regardless of status, you're very likely to experience delays.

Mine was 2021 Black Sierra 1500 Denali 6.2, carbonpro, every package.

    • I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need.webcrimsNY
    • I’ve heard similar complaints from newer vehicles where the factory “premium” systems don’t always live up to expectations. A good installer should be able to improve the sound without turning it into a bass-heavy setup. I’d look into upgrading the front speakers, adding a quality DSP amplifier, and possibly improving sound deadening first—those changes usually make a much bigger difference than just adding a subwoofer. Hopefully someone local can recommend a reputable installer in the Las Vegas/St. George area.
    • Do you remember that Harley Davidson was more successful (solvent) when it produced about 60% of the market demand (by design) and forced wait times of up to three years? Even when your turn came around it was, "Take what we are giving you or move to the back of the line and start over". HUGE markup's were 'normalized' and dealer killed. 40% markup and no floor plan? What's not to love? Greed will kill them yet. They have surplus production and customer base is tanking. And still they think nosebleed pricing will work.  
    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
