Blackwing Constraints Tracker

So: a little more than 7 weeks. Maybe the time from production to dealer is trending down?

Yeah it's great service we're paying for: 7 weeks to get the car 10 hours down the highway to my dealer because GM thinks truckers are too expensive. I guess we should feel lucky GM hasn't decided rail transport is too much and decides to move them by boat.

I know this has been mentioned before, but count me among those who would happily fly to Michigan to pick up my car if "factory delivery" was offered. I wish it was.

Any updates on delays for carbon allocations?

After 5 months, my dealer got an allocation.

Interestingly, CF 1&2 weren’t constrained, they were required.

Perhaps they fixed their supply problems and might as well run up the MSRP.

Or they don't want to get stuck holding too much inventory.

Is that a GM requirement or a dealership requirement?

Probably got a large batch of carbon instock or coming and want to use it up before 2026 model ends next year. No one wants to hold the bag on excess expensive parts.
