Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

Well...shit...I tried deleting a couple posts out of the old order tracking thread and I apparently nuked the whole damn thread!

NOTE: the order tracking system is for U.S. based orders only. I can only view orders placed with dealers in the U.S.
NOTE: I will only track ONE order per member. If you have orders in at multiple dealers, pick one...

Mine also had a EDD.. Before it didn't.

Maybe it's a charting issue ... wrong column for the TPW date? TPW ended up in the EDD column?

I heard from Tony today and he said your car is moving along. He's checking on it daily.

I think all cars before mine, 86-329 have been delivered. At this point, I suspect the dealer has it and is delaying letting me know so it can sit on their website and solicit more calls.

Should I make an unexpected visit to the dealer to keep them honest.. Or is that too obsessive?

Nope. I'm 86-298...still waiting, lol

so as an update at a frustrated 1100 sitter..... i had a bit of a go at the dealership for their lack of communication and transparency, they dont know if im on this amazing site or not so to not be in touch w me is absurd, told them that i didnt put down 500usd on the car as a placeholder, i put down 5k expecting to get a car and that im not someone trying to buy it and flip it, and that i didnt care for the most part about not hearing from them for 6months bc i live in NY so i couldnt use the car anyway, but now its getting nice out and this lack of communication is a joke. They apologized, said they really were getting about as much info as i was and that they were happy to gv my my money back until they know they are starting to build the car... i thought that was a fair play, but declined bc i dont want to be on the back of their list or anyone elses list, but at least they felt bad and offered... w that said............. i want my damn car, lol
also, im editing to tell you all im not editing my post of mistakes bc i cant be bothered! hv a great wknd gang... and for all of you w your cars, pour some liquor out for us sad souls

So...where do I begin here...

What is it that you are expecting your dealer to tell you? Your car is sitting at 1100...the order has been placed, but not accepted by GM yet. There's really no point in constantly telling the customer, every other day, or every week, "sorry, you're still sitting at 1100..." They're only going to reach out to you either when the order is accepted, and maybe as it goes through the various stages of production, or they may not reach out to you until the car is actually built and invoiced.

There are people waiting nearly a year for their 2022 Corvettes to get built...and most dealers aren't going to reach out to the customer unless there's news to report back to the customer. Imagine the frustration of those customers that placed Corvette orders 8 - 10 months ago...and...their orders are suddenly ready to be placed with allocation and then the dealership calls and tells you "sorry, you'll have to delete the carbon fiber ground effects package and Magnetic Selective Ride Control from your order because both options are now on 0% constraint, and GM won't accept the order unless those options are removed..."

Right now, it's an absolute nightmare for the customers as it is for the dealers...

Now a dealer could build a tracking page for their orders similar to what I built here - and they could automate it to some degree more than I can, BUT, that takes someone with IT/programming experience, which is something most automotive dealerships do not have.

So, it really comes down to a customer's expectations (which in most cases, aren't realistic in today's world), vs what the dealer's expectations are which is reality.

I understand the frustration from the customers' point of view, but based upon my experience on both the dealer and the customer sides, most customers are not patient, don't care nor want to hear about supply chain and production issues and just want their cars and want them now. That's not realistic.

Ordering a car today, be it Cadillac, Corvette, Porsche, BMW, Jeep, etc., is not like going to the grocery store and ordering a 1/2 lb of sliced ham from the deli counter. It just doesn't work that way.

My status was just updated to 3000 with an EDD of 03/28/2022, but no TPW seems only a few people actually have EDD on their status, so I am unsure if that's good or bad.

My bad...fixed

Just checking to make sure y'all are paying attention...

Damn, they've built 512 auto 4s already?!

Do you know what the date of the first customer delivery was? Would be curious to know how many have been delivered over how long now.

 

[Tall Steve]

Everyone dropping CF and thinking they can get GM CF parts later might be in for a tussle. GM Authority says only BW owner's cars that came equipped with CF can get them. Of course GM Authority is not always the "authority".

To be fair, the article says Blackwing owners can order them. It doesn't say only BW owners who originally ordered CF parts can order them.

I'm 86-318 and am patiently waiting like you. Soon enough, my friend!

I was told by a Cadillac source that if you didn't order/receive CF from factory you are SOL, is that true, I don't know...

 

[Tall Steve]

Oh yes, I did not tell you guys but I have already had two pieces of CF replaced on my BW's... One on 4 and one on 5.... Factory defects......

 

[Gabels BlackWing]

I am @ 86-310 and still got GOTS? I Think I am going to go out and get a VW...

...Blackwing owners that need replacement CF... That means it had to be on the car from the factory.

The Cadillac site rep has my car at 4000, I know, meaningless. But I am thinking at about the one month mark after production, maybe I will be 4000 on here too hehe. Thats only 4 days from now.
