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.


Those are the questions to ask.

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.
