Nevada.

Were you saying transport occurs over the weekend?

Transportation is basically seven days a week including many holiday breaks such as the end of December days.

A correction: your dealer gets the Event History thru GlobalConnect not its sub GlobalWorkBench.

Maybe I need to ring his room and give him a wake up call so he can make it to the Dallas area today.

Congrats guys on your 2016's!

A three week QC hold is better that the four week hold we had last year. Of course the A8 transmission was all new last year and that probably contributed to the QC timeframe. My 2015 was built on 8/8/14 (#22), shipped on 9/4, arrived at dealer on 9/8 and I took delivery on 9/9.

Once you start driving it you'll forget all about the wait!

Chevy Chat just confirmed I am at 4200 this morning. Having my dealer confirm it... It's going to be a great week!

And that is the reason Chevy Chat is reluctant to reveal them.

ZEEE06 I suspect your Status Review, summary or complete, will show a 4200.

Per my conversation on Thursday night with Chevy Chat supposedly they don't have a live feed and only get a batch update once a week. Not sure what day, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask this morning. If Jack Cooper is making an all out assault on the backlog I was hoping mine would load-n-go!

My VIN is 605. Chat told me yesterday it was still being "checked out". What does that mean? Doesn't sound good.

My awesome dealer just confirmed she sees it as shipped as well.

Checked out is probably Chevy Chat's interpretation of bayed, meaning it's being quality checked. Could be released at any time, so keep the faith. My VIN was a lot lower then yours so I'm guessing yours will ship by early next week at this rate.

What Chevy Chat looks at is the result of the various GM Divisions dumping data overnight to a central server. This occurs every night six nights a week. So Chevy Chat is always at least a day behind. That is the system and what they have to work with.

Mine's still sitting inside the factory.

Vin 044. it was definitely staged to leave the property three days ago.

Darn chrome bar! First world problems, I'll be fine.

It's actually 6 day. They do have loads leave on Saturday, but not on Sunday.

It's also not 23 hours a day. They open the yard around 7:00 AM and close it up whenever the last scheduled truck leaves and it's past 5:00 PM.

We got our first load in today.
