I think it may have been mentioned in this thread, however when I went to chat yesterday, they told me the information was updated weekly. So, in this context, chat won't do you any good.

It's up to your dealer.

Also, I wonder if the buyers who are picking up at the NCM get first build priority. No NCM pickup for me, and through Tuesday at noon I haven't heard anything.

The car was built today. We're just waiting for the invoice to get to Classic Chevrolet. I guess we're at 3800, awaiting 4150.

About if the NCM vehicles have priority, according to Shane, they don't have priority.

Did your car go in early or something? I thought it took 3 1/2 days to build our cars???

All I know is yesterday I was at 3400 and not built, however I was told today the car is built and has a VIN, however the dealership is awaiting the invoice. I was not told officially I was at 3800, however if the car is built, that's the status.

I'm using this thread as a 'blog', so I'm posting everything I know about the build.

It appears that dlparsons had their car ready by yesterday (Monday 12/15/14 with TPW of 12/15/14), so knowing this, along with knowing about my car, I can assume it only takes one day to build.

My car came off the line yesterday, 12/16 and I have my VIN.

Now just need to wait for delivery.

Bittersweet though......about the time my Vette came off the line, my Acura MDX's transmission gave out on me. Gonna severely reduce the extras I can get for my Stingray.

I chatted with customer care on the chevrolet website. On the bottom right of the website under help center it says click to chat.

Car has been found, safe and sound (never really lost of course - just a paperwork glitch). GM Manager called me this morning, which I thought was a very nice thing to do instead of leaving it to my dealer to make the call. I also have my OnStar activated now, I know exactly where my car is and can track it at any time now through it's journey home. FYI, it has 14 miles on it, which means it went through the extended QC, which I find very comforting as well.

I'm picking up the paperwork in an hour or so and will get the loan paperwork done.

How did you get the onstar activated, and once activated, how do you track it?
