Update, allocated 1/26, still at 3000. I'm concerned, but I won't be worried unless I don't get an update next week.
Im in the same position at 3000 from a 1/26 allocation. Shane told me yesterday its 4/5 now. You probably gone be in that same week. I went with a local dealer.

Same for me...1/26 with TPW of 4/5. I would think we should see 3300 to 3400 within the next 7 days.
Can anyone get an update from the NCM, or do you have to have Museum delivery?
I emailed Shane at NCM asking if I opted for a NCM delivery if that would lessen my waiting time at 3000.
He told me NO, but my car had a TPW of 4.5 and that I can still change from courtesy delivery to an NCM pickup only while I am at 3000 which would be until 3.19 or 3.22 when I should move to 3300.
Does anyone know how long it takes for delivery once your car is produced? For instance if your TPW is 4/5 (and it actually gets built this week), when should you expect it to hit the dealership? Mine is headed to Oklahoma.
It varies considerably. They need a full load heading in the general area of your dealer. The big dealers get full truckloads frequently. Fortunately for you, OK goes by truck. 2 weeks is probably a reasonable guess.
First, congratulations to those of you that have reached the end of the line, or are getting close! I just read through the last few months of your journeys... exciting and at times frustrating - I lived vicariously through your experiences.
Since most of the traffic is about Jan/Feb... dates... I'll throw in my 1100 status Ordered (retail sold) from 13 March 2021 (1st time corvette owner, feel like I'm being born). I understand the next allocation is 10 April, so hopefully I see movement then. Being an internal optimist, with a July expected cutoff for 2021's that hopefully means I'll receive the order the end of July. If the allocation comes through as expected 10 April, does that sound reasonable?
I ordered in Northern Virginia from Bomnin Chevrolet (the largest Corvette dealer in the areas as far as I know). They told me that I should be good (time will tell), other Corvette dealers in the areas stated I could only be put on a wait list, and it didn't look promising. I realize if there are delays that will likely mean being pushed into 2022. That was my original plan until I heard the likelihood of 2022 levels going up $5k - again being an eternal optimist, I hope perhaps they'll offer some concession if it gets pushed But would love to be driving my 2021 this summer!
Actually the next DSOP (Dealer Order Submission Process) is this week. Questions to ask your dealer: 1) How many are on their wait list ahead of you? 2) How many allocations did they get for the Feb/Mar/Apr time period? The answer to those two questions will tell you how likely or unlikely it is that you will get a 2021. As for "some concession" if you get pushed to 2022. Zero chance of that.
For some perspective, Bomnin in Manassas sold 6% of the Corvettes that MacMulkin did in 2020. MacMulkin got 160 allocations in Feb and will likely get the same number this week. Bomnin is probably getting about 10
That makes sense, as Bomnin was only taking like 20 orders, and I was in the top 10 of those. Other dealers in the area that I chatted with would only take a waitlist, and some for 2022 not 2021.
Bomnin had told me that this was going to be the final of the 2021 orders that they would take deposits. If I was on a waitlist it would have only been $500 down. As I was a retail sold order, they took 5%.
