Met the Sales Manager of local dealer at Cadillac VClub meet and according to him there is no word on allocations yet and they don't even know how many they will get this year. They are okay to put in order but according to him, it would be at least 6-8 months before car can be expected.

I ordered my Blackwing (from a lower volume dealer) in May of 2022 and it was delivered to them in March of 2024. Luckily my salesmen kept me fairly well updated. Having said that I asked him in December of 2023 if he had an update, he said that there had been no changes. I ended up buying a 2009 CTS-V (which I definitely overpaid for) in January of 2024 and no shit, six weeks later my salesman calls and says that I have a manufacture date. Built March 12, 2004, delivered to the dealership March 26, 2024. Moral of the story, you can't predict how long any portion of this process will take.

That's how the goat rodeo works. Congrats on figuring out the game. If you hadn't bought the '09 CTS-V your car wouldn't have been built when it was. In my case, I had to leave town for a few weeks. Only then did GM ship my car (after 5.5 months), once I left.

There are quite a few numbers between 2000 and 2051 I believe. Sources include

Thread 'GM Order Event Codes'

Jul 29, 2021

• 500, this is a dealer stock order code used to order common vehicles. Please contact your dealer to receive an actual active order number.

• 1100, Preliminary order accepted (This means your dealer has entered your order into their system but does not mean they have the allocation to submit the order to GM yet. Speak with your dealer to verify when they expect to be able to submit your order for production)

• 2000, Order accepted by GM (This means the order has been submitted and accepted by production. You are now on your way.)

• 2030, Order re-edited (if necessary) (This is simply...

The Chatbot had told me last week that "Your vehicle order has been accepted by General Motors and is moving toward the production process."

And thanks to this thread I just chatted with a live person who said: "Your vehicle order has been accepted by Cadillac and is working towards the production process. The estimated target production week is 6/9/25, however this estimate is subject to change. Please keep in touch with your dealership for the most up-to-date information or check back later for a status update." And when I asked for the latest status code, the answer was: 3400(!!!)

Where can one find this "Chat Bot" to find out my order status? Thanks in advance.

I believe if you go to the Cadillac website, there will be a little floating chat bubble in the bottom right corner. Click that and away you go.

2026 inventory seems to be slowwwwllllyyyyyy building without any cars with CF sadly.

Has anyone taken delivery of a 2026 5 BW with the 6 speed MT? If so, did they add blind spot monitoring back in? This was missing on 2025 models.

I always try to be polite and use please and thank yous so when the robots eventually take over they might spare me some heartache since I showed them respect before their uprising.

Hopefully decorum goes a long way with our robot overlords. If not, however, would you like to have a consultation in regards to these concerns and fantasies? Dr. Zoomie Z Zoversky

Dealer a hour and half away from me went from in transit to in stock today, with my dealer's first two showing being delivered 6/29 if both this is true and were part of the "first batch" then from showing up as built to on dealer lot in NY in just over a week.

Does anyone have any input or experience with ordering with a Fleet account? Last year I ordered a CT4-V Blackwing from a lower inventory dealer with no allocations and had good luck. Was it better last year in the fall as it seems it is really hard to get one now based on this thread? The car I configured was loaded with all Carbon Fiber Packages.

Sept 12 – Place order with the dealer having no allocation
Sept 19 – Event Code 3000
Oct 3 – Got a TPW of 11/11
Dec 2 – Got a VIN and it is built
Dec 13 – Delivered to the dealer.

3 month turnaround with no allocation seems really good. Reading this thread makes me nervous as I have a CT5-V Blackwing ordered with my Fleet account again and hoping for the same luck…..

If there are constraints, I don't see fleet ordering overriding them. AFAIK, allocations are allocations. Someone else might have more info on that.
