Default VIN number

For those that have ordered a C7 in Nov and Dec what VIN number did you get? And when you ordered did they say anything about some of these problems being corrected at the plant? Thanks.

VIN 8457 Ordered 10/9. Finished on 11/26.

Based on reports here on the forum, I believe they had figured out the issue with forgetting to fill the rear axle with lube by then. Also, I heard that the firmware was fixed for the auto-dimming issue (and I have not seen an issue with that).

That's good to hear. I plan on getting one in about 6 -12 months. Enjoy the car.

6744. Delivered on November 26. I have not had the dimming problem, but the entire instrument panel blacks out. I have been told a fix is in the works for sometime in February 2014.

Hmmm, VIN 8500 . Notified early on 11/26 that status was 3800 - produced, so I'm guessing built on Monday, 11/25. Did have the software update to correct the dimming issue. Checked this in the settings menu.

I hope they have fixed most of the problems with the ones coming out now. I don't think there are any issues with the paint now?

Now that there has been some time since the vehicle came out, has anyone just received one off the line that was built in the last 30 days? If so have they fixed the major issues like the screens and HVAC on the newest builds?
