Chip shortage??

Has anyone heard about a chip shortage slowing down C8 production? I’m assuming it’s just another excuse by this dealership not to give me allocation. This is the most expensive car I’ve ever purchased and by far the worst I’ve ever been treated by a dealership. I should have put a deposit down at a different dealership at three months in when I found out my salesman never entered my order. It’s definitely gone down hill from there…

Right, the chip shortage has affected a lot of products, GM has commented several times including the shutdown in Bowling Green that chips are not an issue on the Corvette. Since no one else seems to have heard anything about chips being an issue with Corvette production I have to assume it’s just more BS from the dealership they are going to use to not give me allocation. Really kicking myself for not at least putting a deposit down at another dealership three months in when I found out my salesman never entered my order.

All along GM has said a chip shortage was never an issue on the C8. I’m getting so discouraged with this dealership. I was number 4 in line for allocation in April, then 23rd in May. Then the general manager telling me he couldn’t put me in line by my deposit date even though it was the salesman’s fault for never entering my order. Tried to tell me he couldn’t change his internal list because GM had it locked down tight. I knew that was a lie so supposedly got that taken care of which landed me at number 13. Now that I’m back at the top of the list they are telling me they haven’t gotten any allocation the last two months. They were getting 3-5 a month, everyone else’s numbers are increasing and I’m supposed to believe they went two months, and he claims they haven’t gotten any allocations yet this month, that could be true.
