Modified C8 of the Year 2021 Finalist
Not Yet
No Speed Model received. My C8 was delivered to Criswell Thurmont on April 7, 2021. January 2021 Allocation. My friends with November '20 allocations and January 2021 deliveries received their Speed Models about 2-3 months ago. Ironically, both have sold their C8s for nice profits to local Chevrolet dealerships.
Anyone with March, April or later C8 deliveries receive Speed Models?

2023 C1 of the Year Finalist - Modified
I called about mine over a month ago, maybe 2 (March build). They told me it would be moved to top priority (or some hog wash like that). That was the last I ever heard.

GM said all 2021 buyers will get one. But I'm sure they're made in China, and everything coming from Asia is subject to major shipping delays. COVID outbreaks in factories, at Asian ports, delays in offloading ships on the west coast of the US. (More than 60 ships with thousands of shipping containers waiting for the port of San Jose alone.)

Do you know if they are working 3 shifts as in the past or just 2?

Also, check the owners and warranty books that came with the car. There should be some instructions for notifying GM of an address change, so they can reach you in the event of a recall.

From what I understand, they actually ship from a direct marketing company contracted to GM. Maybe try the concierge and see if they can tell you how to get your address changed?
