This is nuts
I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s going through this. After ten months of waiting, my car was off loaded at the rail yard in Milpitas California on Monday afternoon. And there it sits, and the dealership is 90 minutes away. I can’t get any answers from the Union Pacific Rail Terminal, Jack Cooper Transport or the Chevrolet concierge. My dealer doesn’t have any answers either. The best guess is that they’re waiting for a driver to load the carrier and deliver the cars to the dealers. It would be nice to know that someone can answer the question, what’s going on.

I ordered my Russan bride this March, and she still has not shown up. I called the agency that I ordered her from, and was told she is stuck in customs.

What color did you order? If I bring you some beer can I come see it in person when you get it? I’m near Pleasanton about 20 mins north of Milpitas. . I have one on order at MacMulken but have not seen one in person yet.

I ordered TR, 3LT, Z51, and a bunch more. I’m near Roseville, near Sacramento. I haven’t seen one in person either.

I’ve ordered cars in the past and 3 months delivery was the norm. My C7 took 9 months without a strike or a virus, and this time it’s been 10 months so far. My frustration is the lack of available information through this entire process.

My buddies 2016 C7 sat for one week in the same yard before it was delivered. When I ordered my 2014 C7 I didn’t track it at all, so I don’t know how long it may have sat there. I’ll do a google search to see if I can find an answer how soon the car must be delivered once unloaded here in California.

But you can have those good old days! I get a text from my dealer with a picture of the transport in his lot. I never seek a status.....
All you have to do is patiently wait. You can control yourself??? But not any other aspect of this build and delivery process.
relax it helps your health.

Yes mine too 5/29. I did hear that a number of cars were pulled for an added QC just before the July 4th break -- but it could be a BG excuse as to why some early cars have not shipped.
