Current event code is 3100 and still on target for week of 3/22.

Current event code is now 3300 with a targeted production date of 3/22.

So I heard back from GM after our chat yesterday... they said I won't have a TPW for another 3-4 weeks.  3-4 WEEKS?! wtf 

 

I thought being at 3000 things might be moving a bit quicker than that, wishful thinking I guess

weird, you confirmed you were at 3000?  I always thought it came with a TPW.  wonder if you have constraints that need to be worked out

The only hiccup was the running board issue, but we solved that a couple weeks back switching from the out of stock high clearance steps, to the power assist steps.

 

So in theory there should be any issues on their end.

I checked yesterday and again this morning for the heck of it. Still at 1100 which is understandable but at the end of my chat today they said to check back in 2-3 weeks. Most of you went from 1100 to 2000, or some even to 3000 in 7-10 days.

Was updated like I thought today.  Ordered 27 FEB.   Still at 3000,  but TPW was bumped up to 4/5/21  was at 5/3/21

Good to hear nards, as I mentioned earlier in this thread, the 4/5 TPW is more in line with the trends of everyone else's order.

I ordered 2/9, the first TPW I got was 3/8, then a week later got bumped to 4/5. Hopefully it wont move again, unless it up.

Car builder stated to me that the first TPWs given were kind of shots in the dark and he expected movement.

You won’t get a vin until event code 3800 which is order produced.

 

Are you going to wait on the truck that is about to be made or get the truck that is in transit?

That is a very good question, I'm going to go visit the dealer with the in transit this week.

Event codes weren't created to be a 'live' system.    (as much as we would like it to be)  Means that event code can be higher than what is entered in the system.  Especially when it is in shipping....and source data is with transportation supplier. 

 

No vin until the vehicle has been produced (there are fed regs regarding info in vin and how the sequence numbers (the last digits) get assigned. 

Just because order is in assembly plant hands (3000), doesn't mean plant has sorted out build week (TPW)

I've been checking in on GM chat periodically with no movement, still at 1100. Was driving by the dealer today so figured I would introduce myself to the new salesman and follow up. The manager says that he spoke with the GM rep yesterday and my order will be picked up next week. I'll take it with a grain of salt at this point, my May delivery seems to be slipping away.

Maybe good news maybe not.  But it seems most people are 4-5 weeks out to build week after they get to 3000, and then have to factor 2 weeks to ships.   So be close.
