2026 allocation

[shbox]

How long is CF on constraint for before I lose my mind and or just give up and do a 26 5BW nude and go after market?

Our therapist is losing his mind? You already know the answer is that there is no answer. It's a test of your resolve.

Maybe I'm not truly the Blackwing's target audience, but I deliberately ordered mine without the CF packages.

I would've asked GM to shove the Blackwing's drivetrain in a base CT4 body if that was an option, lol.

And why the heck does GM not have an individual program for Cadillac like its competitors? Audi, MB, BMW all have it. I wanted mine with Midnight Sky but they don't offer it on the V.

Chat bot said car was produced, not showing up as in transit though yet on inventory, another car same dealer did show up in transit see what happens this week

I'm wondering if you're in the same boat as me.

My car was caught up in a wind storm and it is in a holding area needing assessment on if it was damaged or not. If not damaged then it will ship. My car was ready to ship, but has sat in Lansing for over a month. I just recently found out I am at status 4D00, which is on hold for QC. Sometimes 4D00 is for normal periodic additional QC checks and sometimes its because they found a problem and need to fix something.

If it is damaged then my dealer will be given an allocation to replace it on the upcoming allocation end of this week. I was told this was information I can share, but I wish this info wasn't so hard to find out on a customer order.
Worst case for me is I'll get a 2026 and will have to wait to around September for delivery assuming there isn't a freak wind storm that comes up again.

QC is what i was thinking since dealer other car built same week as mine is order number 4 and mine was number 3 per their “list”, i emailed my sales man see what he is able to find out.
When was the wind damage brewski? Sounds like before last week?
EDIT: Looks like May 15-16 was the wind event from what i could find on the interweb, this was a month before my26 build week.

Not sure. The letter I was shown was dated July 18th. I do not know when the wind event happened.
my 2025 wasn't built until first week of June.
It could also just be that any quality control issues are taken extra long due to demands on the QC team from the wind event too.

So I tried getting the event code via the chat, the agent won't give it to me and said I have to wait 6 weeks after the initial order, and told me to go back to the dealership...

I guess that's the approximate time the dealer will get an allocation?

Not necessarily. Allocations are weekly.

Allocations are based on the volume of that car the dealer does. If you've picked a high volume dealer the wait could be short. Others, like me, waited close to five months just for the allocation. It's called the goat rodeo for a reason sadly.

GM does almost everything possible to dissuade you from doing a custom order. They'd much rather you pick something up from a lot that's already built.

The one I went to was out of town for me, they had a manual one in stock and on display. However prior to that they did have quite a few Blackwings appear and disappear off their inventory (went straight from "In Transit" to gone), so I guess they do have sufficient order volume.
