Does your order have any items on constraint (for a vert, basically is it a Z51)? How many allocations does your dealer get each week? How many are in line in front of you at this dealer? The answer to these questions is crucial in trying to determine how long it might be before you get your C7. Low volume (few allocations) and constraints = you likely not getting a 2014. Plenty of threads about allocations, research them.
I took that part out of my reply above to eliminate confusion, but since you asked, below is exactly what was in my "Preliminary Order Detail - Order # RQQRXF" stated in writing on 2/28, with a note from my dealer in the email where he said the order was accepted by GM. I immediately moved to 2000 after this.
"Event Description: 1100 - Preliminary Order Accepted"
As long as you were at 1100 by the end of the day on 3/2, you are price protected against the price increase.
my dealer had several that he thought was price protected but later found out they were not, my order got a $3000 price bump, so i backed out
Here is the chat I had with a GM Cust. Serv rep this morning on the "Track . Nothing of any revelation but it explained the difference between "preliminary acceptance" and "GM acceptance"
GM:
Thank you for your patience! The preliminary order has been accepted but is not accepted by GM yet.
09:41:20
Customer:
What does that mean?
09:42:24
GM:
The order has successfully been submitted, but the plant still needs to review the order and verify all the options prior to GM accepting the order.
09:42:58
GM:
Ok. Is there any way to know how long that will take?
09:43:23
GM:
Unfortunately, there is not.
09:44:28
Customer:
Is there an event code assigned to the order at this point?
09:45:48
GM:
Yes, it currently has a status code of 1100.
