I'm curious how often you chat it up with the customer service team to find out your status codes?

Hit up the pole but in the reply also let us know what status you're at (if you know it).

Best,
Gene

Im currently at 4000 and check 2 to 3 times a week. I figure once there's progress I'll hear about it on the forum first and then check out if I'm part of that progress. Along the way if any of the first wave moved to a new status code I would immediately check.

...yes the QC hold has bored me.

Once it was built, I stopped. I figure the forum will post when things ship. If they ship roughly according to build order once the QC hold stops, I'll have mine the day they start shipping anyway. I didn't even catch the status change on my Stingray last year. It was 3400, and then the next day it was at the dealer. It finished building and was shipped out that day or the next, and I am close enough, and along a major path that a ton of shipments have to take anyway, so mine arrives in no time.

I'm currently at 4000. This has been my second experience using the chat system. I have to say the experience has been overwhelmingly positive except for two sessions (not the same representative) where the Rep was rather rude and sarcastic.

Overall I found the Chat system very helpful at keeping my anxiety to manageable levels! Hehe.

Never done it. Chatting doesn't hurry the process; kind of like the saying "A watched pot never boils". Trying to keep my mind off of it until I get a call from the dealer

I am not sure of the accuracy but I was told by one of the chat contacts that they update it Thursday or Friday and to call back. This was on a Wednesday. Hence I have been holding back until the end of the week to do any contacts.

Don't get me started. However I think all the Z06 codes are similar so there may be a Z at 4200 but today it's not mine. Check out this gem from the Z06 Delivery thread.

I can't get into details because I don't want to cause an issue but to be honest the answer isn't no.

Once I get it I've got a photo shoot planned which GM is going to be very pleased with.

Best,
Gene

3400 as of Wednesday. Now that I'm there & know build date (Buyer's Tour), won't be bothering chat until after she's built...then it's probably back to every day....
