After getting back from our family vacation I thought I'd drop by the dealer to check on the status of the new Tahoe. Previously my sales guy said September. So on Monday I stopped by to check. The sales guy went off for a bit and came back saying the build date was in mid October now, with delivery in November. Since it was ordered on July 7, four months seems a little long considering there are already 09's on sales lots in the US. Maybe something to do with it having to be a Canadian vehicle. What ever the reason, it still sucks...

Indeed that does suck. You ordered it 4 months ago? That must feel like an eternity to you! When I got my truck, waiting 3 days for it to come in from the island was painful and felt like forever. :thumbs:

Which dealership are you going through? That does suck, waiting for a vehicle. I have always dealt with Dave Wheaton GMC, but there are days where I question my decision to go with them. Oh well, hope the truck comes in sooner then later.

I ordered it back on July 7, from that point it will take about 4 months. :D

 

Yeah, it will seem like an eternity till it arrives. The sales guy did say that my wife's Cobalt will arrive much sooner. Like that is any consolation for me.

 

If I had been in your shoes, I would have found out the exact day and time it was coming over so that I could have hopped that ferry and checked it out on the ride back over. :D

...and here I thought doing dealer searches to find just what I wanted and having to drive 50 miles across town to get it was bad!

 

In all seriousness, 4 months seems to be a loooong time to wait. I doubt I have that much patience. Best of luck! Post pics when you get the truck! :thumbs:

I'm going through Jenner, where I got my current Tahoe, and it's close by home. Eventually it'll arrive. They say good things come to those who are patient.

Don't think for a second that didn't cross my mind :D

 

I was going to just go out to the island to do it myself, though with damn ferry prices going up that would have cost me $ just to do it. The worst part is that you know where it is, you know its yours yet you cant put your hands on it. I was more or less pulling my hair out until my dealer called me and told me it was in.

 

I have a natural love for black vehicles even though it's like brain surgery to keep them clean. John the the salesman that I deal with got a blue one in and told me to come down and take a look at it as he figured I would be pleasantly pleased with it. I grabbed is and took it for a spin but just couldn't alter my original decision on the Onyx Black. In the past I've opted not to get things since cost was a issue and walked away happy but not entirely fulfilled. This time I stuck to my guns and when the day came and the truck arrived John called me up and said "this thing looks like it's melting in the showroom, good call on choosing the black". I have never driven so fast to a dealership in my life, and 9 months later I have never been happier with my choice.

 

Well.. except for that truck prices came down after that... :D

Your new Tahoe is only built in Arlington TX or Janesville WI Canada only builds pickups.

I still don't think it can compare to the beauty of a clean black truck. I looked at one and they are indeed nice, but black when it has that wet look just beats out the competition hands down! IMO of course :D

I think what he might was the fact that its going to be a "Z49" Canadian Market Tahoe (IE Built for the Canadian Market) Not that its going to be built in Canada.

But you have one now and that's all the matters right? :D

Z49 is only DRL, KO5 , and metric cluster. Unless there is a hold on the Canadian option the dealer has no allocations for a vehicle.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
