Ciocca got my invoice Thursday I'm outside waiting with you !
Same spot and position as you. Car was built Oct 5th. Ciocca guesstimates one to two weeks before they get the car. In the meantime, I've set up the appropriate Alerts on OnStar to notify me of any car movement.

I'm hoping they get us on a truck headed to Atlantic city this week
I received a call as well about the Q9I wheels being on constraint, I opted to stay with the Q9I wheels, it will delay delivery for sure, but with winter coming, snowed today here in Minnesota, I can wait a bit,
Wait # 3777
I'm #4756, so I think I'm teetering on the 23-24 MY, not sure how I'll deal with a constraint the closer it gets to May 2023. It may be smarter to build it without a specific option and add it later to avoid another $3000.00 or more, price increase for the 24 model.
Just heard the Bowling Green Kentucky plant will be closed next week I’m hoping this is not true my car was supposed to be built this week and wasn’t

I did get an update email from Chevy yesterday that shows I moved to the second stage; I think that second stage corresponds to 3400, which I was at last week, but I'm hoping it actually means 3800.
You heard correctly. Plant currently closed, will restart assembly Oct 24.Last VIN produced on Friday 10/14 was 14718
At what point is your MSRP price locked in ? Once you put down the 2nd deposit ? (even if your car ends up being the next years model , and there is a price increase)
MSRP is locked in once car is built and invoiced to dealer. Basically just before you pick it up.

Chevy did 2 price increases this year. One for the switch over to the new model year. Then a bunch more for the options later on. My car became 3k more overnight with the second increase. It is unpredictable as to price increase at this point. I’m 3754 and stuck at 3300 status. Unfortunately with z06 I would guess 24 for you

Ah , okay . Maybe I am mistaken .
Maybe it's just McMillan dealership that provides price increase protection from the upcoming model year once you reach a certain point in time while waiting on their list
I bought my car from Ciocca , submitted order and 2nd deposit May 5th , that locked my price in there , did not have to pay the increases that came after that , around $4200 on my build . And I waited until July for an allocation due to wanting the 70th Anniversary wheels , took delivery October 11th .
I contacted Ciocca about activating Onstar to track the shipment. They want $149 for 12 months. He says its non-refundable and there is no free trial period.
Is this true or is this just another money grab from Ciocca?
Would love to hear about this from the folks who've activated OnStar in the last few days. I'm seeing conflicting information out there - a period of months or years included, nothing included, and free 30 day trial included. And I know GM did a price increase related to OnStar, though I'm not sure how that plays in given buying process timing or even if it relates to the OnStar package needed for tracking.
My car's one of the ones delayed by this week's closure, but when it does eventually ship, I'd like to be confident in the OnStart activation process.
I got an email on Friday that my Onstar was activated. I've been able to track my C8 since then. I didn't have to pay for any additional fees, nor did I do anything to activate it. All I did was register the VIN with my Chevy account. Unless Ciocca did something as I did send in additional information last Tuesday when contacted.

@C8Corvette Is your car still at bowling green? My car moved around some today but didn't leave the yard.

Just checked and it looks like my car is moving East on the Cumberland Parkway so it's on the way! Hopefully @C8Corvette@Fareri15 your cars will be moving soon as well.
