      With today’s technology, it is very disappointing to see GM go backwards regarding production status. After all these years I get to reward myself by ordering a ZL1. How ironic it is that my order coincides with the cancelation of GM production status for customers.
      I am very disappointed.

      I don’t know when you ordered your ZL1, but I ordered a Bolt EUV last January and online production status was gone then. I had to sit through a canceled order and missed out on a promised dealer order after that, not knowing the first was canceled and the second had been completed, only to be sold in transit to someone else. I finally took delivery in November of another dealer order, but it was a “believe it when see it” experience. In short, you’re not alone, but it didn’t coincide with your order…unless it was over a year ago.

      I placed an order for a Blazer back in August. I was told as the 6 cyl optional engine was being held at the time for vehicles that only came with that engine. That was fine, I had time to wait.

      In November I was told they quit making the color I ordered, so I changed the model to one that only came in a 6 cyl and a different color. Build date was set to 12/12/2022.

      As of 1/12/2023 it is still in build date 12/12/2022 status.

      Now apparently the plant it’s being built at is going through remodel to produce the new EVs and is closed until 1/30/2023, and the application which manages the builds was down until 1/9/2023, and also apparently GM has some long holiday stretches where things don’t get built.

      So there’s a chance my vehicle was built and in transport and the status just wasn’t updated yet. But who knows…someone is looking into it.

      Car produced 1/27, now waiting for transport. Woohoo.

      Well now showing as “delayed”. Dealership says it’s sitting on a staging lot in TX, that they haven’t secured transport yet. The dealership was denied when asking to send their own transport, that some vehicles are eligible for that and some aren’t and apparently this one isn’t.

      So back to waiting…
