My car was built on 2-26 and has been sitting on a rail-car since 3-7 someplace in Kansas according to the rail car number I got on the order. And the worse part is that the status has no delivery date available ....... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr Dealer calls every day for a status and it never changes.

Just venting......

However, if anyone has any ideas let me know.

Its part of the customer service thing...or lack of. To bad when you order a car there is no penalty if the car is not delivered by a certain date. Never gonna happen. Hang in there And good luck.

Have the dealer activate the Onstar and you can see where your car is

Same thing happened to me last year. Car built Feb.28, went to the Toledo rail yard and didn't have any status updates till it arrived in Vancouver. Picked it up at the dealer on March 23rd. So maybe it will just show up and surprise you.

Hang in there.. it'll be worth the wait

I'd recommend trying to practice patience, instead of your expressed anger. Counseling may help. Your car's not out of bounds on the time from build to West Coast rail delivery.

Unfortunately there is a shortage of rail cars and trucks to deliver inventory to dealers.

All new Corvettes are completely wrapped for protection against things like railcar fallout while in transit.

You know what they say about watching a pot waiting for water to boil...

I'm in a similar boat. Mine was built on 2/19. It made it to the west coast on Saturday (tracked via OnStar), but has been sitting in Milpitas all week. Just patiently waiting for it to get delivered to the dealer.

The same sorta thing happened with my truck. Good news, it teleported instantaneously from a stalled out holding spot to the dealer almost overnight.

In other words, it can arrive at any point. You cannot count on a delay no matter the delivery location status.

I've been waiting almost a month for a dealer transfer of an Escalade from Texas to Washington state. Something is seriously wrong with railway auto transport at the moment, or GM's use of it... one or the other!

To give you some real time perspective to get from Bowling Green to San Francisco:

• February 19: Target Production Week
• February 19: Vehicle was produced at 3:14 pm CDT
• February 20: OnStar activated & vehicle transported to GM Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, KS
• March 6: Vehicle loaded into a train
• March 7: Train arrives at North Platte, NE (largest rail yard in the world)
• March 8: Train leaves North Platte, NE (OnStar can no longer track it)
• March 14: Train arrives in Milpitas, CA and the vehicle is removed from the train. OnStar is able to track again.
• March 16: Vehicle sitting in the same spot at the vehicle transportation center awaiting to be loaded on the truck. The courtesy dealer is 30.4 miles away.

The courtesy dealer says it take them less than 24 hours to receive, prep, detail, and add fuel. Then it will be available for pick up.

we all who had our cars shipped out west have gone threw the same thing. We all have complained about the fact that we get the short end of the stick when it comes to getting our cars. This is the price we pay for wanting a corvette.

Nah.....the dust gets in there despite the flimsy covers. Well documented.

Been there done that man. Hang in there. Due to the factory shutting down I waited 6 months. But the hard part as you know is knowing the car is built and watching it via OnStar just sit in the Kansas City railyard. Then it will get shipped to a railyard in Fontana/Ontario and sit there for who knows how long. Yeah, I get your frustration. My car was only an hour way and it sat there for over a week. I couldn't even go look at it. But let me tell you like all others have said, it's worth it. This is a beautiful car and it makes me smile every smile every day.

Once GM (or any other automaker, or Amazon, or anyone else) turns something over to a shipper it's out of their hands. It's not GM's fault, or lack of customer service, for shipping times.
