Reminds me way back in 1993 I read in hot rod mag about the 94 impala ss. I went to my Chevy dealer to order one. First and last time I did that. My salesman said there’s no such thing. Being I was a repeat customer they took a deposit and said I’d get their first one if it’s made. Six months later I got the second one at sticker. The dealer owner got and still has the first one.

Ya thats the link that TFL has listed on an article a week or so ago, but I would love to see it up on the website with pictures. Im just curious why its taking so damn long. 
Looks like they took it down from the supplier and the family first website. These things are sitting in dealer lots and we cant build them online, I dont know what they are doing.

Maybe I'm stupid, naive, or both, but are you guys ordering and buying 1st generation T1 trucks without sitting in one and/or driving one first?  Just a blind leap of faith?

No way I would have married the wife without at least looking at her in person or test driving her first !! ( personality and compatibility test drive that is )  Get your minds out of the gutter :D

Just received an email from GM Supplier and the 2019 silverado 1500 is back in the build and price option. Also to answer the above question about buying blind, My dealer ordered my truck with no upfront money. I have 48 hours after they receive the truck to test drive and either buy or not. I bought my 2016 the same way. If I decide not to purchase they just put it on the floor.

Mine is the same as photo minus the running boards. 

$51,763.05 with supplier price. minus dealer discount and any GM rebates that may or may not materialize before delivery.

Just put in my order for a 19 AT4 Double Cab with 6.2/10spd in Pacific Blue. Now the wait begins. Hoping to see it in early November. 

We put our order in for a crew cab 6.2 AT4 in June, and build date is 9/3. Double cabs arn't supposed to start production till late this year.

Which Color is this you chose?  I like it.

It is silver ice metallic. Black leather interior. Easy to keep clean. I have it now on my 2016.

Yep I do it all the time. I ordered a Camaro ZL1 without even driving one and will be getting a 2019 high country without driving it or even sitting in it.

The truck in that picture looks darker or more of a gray metallic rather than silver ice metallic.

Maybe that is the satin steel metallic. I got this from the build site.

That is possible. It appears to be the same truck in all the video ads and it is lighter in some and appears darker in others. I went with silver ice metallic.

I assume there is no deposit required or it is refundable, because this is foolish otherwise.

Blind brand loyalty.

Yes you can order one with a deposit and get it back if you don’t like it. I have never had a problem or didn’t like a vehicle once I took delivery of it. I knew what I want when I ordered it. I will get my 2019 HC delivered to my house this Saturday without even seeing it or driving it or even sitting in one. But I already know I will love the truck.

I admire your risk-taking attitude and optimism!  Here's hoping you have no regrets.  

 

I must be in the minority here, or I'm not as big a GM fanboy as some, but there is NO WAY I would order a first-gen of a totally redesigned vehicle without seeing it and driving it firsthand.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
