You are close to the visitors/employee parking lot and/or the water retention area... 
Whatever is going on with OnStar will all of our cars isn't working to the fine degree of accuracy we would be expecting. I've seen cars now where they should be in the holding parking lot, by the electrical sub station -- which is not accessible, at the loading docs and at the location where they display too cars in front of the business offices.
I started to take the image from onstar, reduce the opacity and put it on top of Google Maps aerial view, but ran out of time last night. I was just there, so the area is pretty familiar to me as I drove around the entire thing multiple times trying to get pictures of the holding area of all the cars. I've only seen one location posted from our OnStars that is remotely possible and that was the one that was in the holding lot.
The guys who see that their mileage has increased probably have the best insight of information on to if their car is actually moving. Mine has moved back and forth from the electrical substation or the road right next to it to the middle of the lot. Not 1/10th of a mile has been put on.
Something is causing the reporting back of the GPS location of our cars on the lot to be off. No one that I have seen post on this thread has had a stable location for more than a day without seeing their mileage go up.
Needless to say, we all know our cars on still at the factory!

What's interesting is my "lifetime" shows 1 mile, but my Trip A shows 2 miles. I'm having a hard time understanding how that is possible.

Mine shows up like yours, but someone posted they saw .5 miles or something like that. I just figured I had not enabled an option to see more granularity.

I've only been able to get an update as of 5 hours ago. It must have been three days since they started it up. I get the message that my refreshes have failed. Given that it is past closing time there at the plant, either my car is waiting to get on a truck or is still waiting to get the chrome bar removed and replaced with a black one. I guess wait to see what happens tomorrow.
Today's news was enough to make me feel a lot more relaxed about hitting 7/27.

Just so everyone knows not to keep calling your dealer all day to check on invoice, the invoices are sent out to the dealers once a day, overnight. The dealer can check tomorrow morning. If they don't have them tomorrow morning then there's no use checking again till the next morning. You won't get it later in the day if it wasn't there earlier.

Do the Cert of Origins and Window Stickers come in the same overnight package?

Don't know about dealers but I was specificly told today by NCM that they have requested my invoice be delivered, don't personally know but they have been very accurate with their replies so far!

Hey Black&White, no way would I ever blame my dealer. He is a great buddy of mine that I have bought (and sold) cars with before. I'll make you a bet. The 2016 vette that is currently on the transport truck in Quality Inn's parking lot will spend tomorrow night in my garage. No other conditions, just black and white. Want that bet?

This morning OnStar placed the car at Corvette Dr. & Harrison Rd and had my tire pressures all over the place and it showed 1 mile on the odometer. Just now updated. The tire pressures are all the same & the odometer shows 4 miles and the car is inside NCM. I think it has been prepped for delivery. I'm all packed and fly out tomorrow evening. Yes!

Hey Carmonaa1, please forgive me but I just got the car a couple of hours ago. I drove it home from the dealership, wife drove the car, and I just got out the 2016 manual (which I could not find online) and trying to figure out some of its features. I love the pull down hatch. Wish the doors pulled shut like the wife's Lexus...... you have to slam them firmly to get them to shut. Front camera that shows you how close you are getting to the curb works when there is a good definition on where the curb actually starts. We have layed back curbs in our neighborhood and it's hard to tell when you are getting too close. no big deal.
