2021 changes for 1500

[tmo]

When are going to see these 2021 trucks?

I was looking at this today. I don’t see any on the lots in Houston area. I’m considering jumping on a 2020, but if these were on the lots I would consider.

Also, does anyone think the wireless CarPlay would be able to be retrofitted into a 2020 eventually like when CarPlay came to the K2. This is the one thing that I would love to have, but you know.. 21s aren’t on the lots. [emoji58]

They already made pretty good aftermarket wireless CarPlay options. 
 

But yeah, I used it on a 2021 Tahoe test drive. It was so nice. Mainly because I could wirelessly charge my phone on the pad and still use CarPlay... making it easy to pick the phone up whenever I want without the cord. 
 

Not sure if the call quality is as good wirelessly with CarPlay? It is noticeably better than my Bluetooth when I wire in my iPhone and use CarPlay for calls on my RST.

Also, GM can barely get 2020’s on the lots right now due to the COVID backlog. My buddy owns a Chevy/GMC dealership in West TX. His lot was so empty last week. He said they usually get 200-250 new cars/trucks (75% trucks) per month from GM, but they are getting 60-80 right now. 
 

This is probably why you’re not going to see any 2021s - besides those which were ordered - for another month or so.

Here I am distraught that the 40/20/40 bench option is gone? How can that be?

 

That alone is a prerequisite for any truck.

Just when I was excited to get back to GM after they started offering 6.2 in lower trims.

I was at the dealer for a warranty issue last Thursday. They had a total of about 9 trucks on the lot (1500 & 2500 models). Couldn’t believe the low inventory. The only thing they had in bulk was the equinox

They only deleted the split bench that didn’t have storage underneath or in the armrest. They should have never made that in the first place. 40/20/40 is now standard with storage. All is well in the world.

Someone was trying to spread the rumour that GM is dumping the 10 speed because it's unreliable.

Lol who's that, Mary Barra?

 

I just read on GMI that the UAW is upset that gm is hiring salaried workers because of how far behind they are. Essentially it's a if we don't build it no one will attitude as i'm sure that is not going to help matters here.

Article I read they indicated temporary re-assignments of some salaried staff, not new hires. 

 

To cover higher than normal absenteeism at the plant making colorado/canyon. 

 

Trying to keep enough staff to maintain plant a 3 shift. 

Also trying to get UAW members from other plants to do temp transfers.  

 

But ya, it also said uaw is pissed about the whole thing.

So the UAW is upset GM is using UAW workers from other plants or departments to fill in for UAW workers that don't come to work, and they are upset?

 

Lol i mean am i just blinded here because i work in the real world where stupidity like this makes you go out of business?

I'd guess it's probably the temporary salaried ones they are grieving about.

 

UAW has killed a lot of businesses with their methods - and after the closures they still don't get it.

Plenty of companies use temp help including those with union labor, it is a good way to find permanent workers. The UAW just needs to be dissolved imo, they are clearly long past their expiration date as far as i can see.

UAW up to their old antics .

New 20"s 1500 trucks still arriving here in Alberta. Normally this time of year would be all 21's. Covid has screwed everything up. Some very good deals though on 20's.

New 21 Colorado/Canyons are coming in though, and of course the new Tahoe/Yukon's.
