Default Delayed...

So my car was built 10 days ago... It went to status 4000 the next day but its been stuck at 4B00 bayed for transportation ever since. Seems like a long time to just be sitting. I'd like to hear from other owners and their experiences. Reading lots of old forum posts it seems like the average wait was 5 or 6 days to take delivery. Im sure it will be here soon enough but this last 10 days has been brutal. Im in Colorado

Happens; mine was nearly 2 weeks. Once it finally loaded onto a transport it arrived to the dealership the next day with only 2 miles on it. Organized chaos...

My '22 Z51 HTC was built on Thursday 9/16, shipped on 9/20 and arrived at the west coast dealer on 9/27.

Probably just waiting for enough cars to come off the production line to fill a truck load heading in your direction.

Mine was bayed for two weeks back in January - February of 2021. My dealer is about a 6 hr drive from the assembly plant. Once my car got on the transport truck it arrived at the dealer within 24 hours.

Bayed as well, waiting on transport. It's a one-day drive for a loaded truck from the plant, so it's likely once it's loaded it will arrive in the next day or two depending upon unload order.

Wonder if all the flooding in Kentucky over the last few days has impacted transportation issues with the C8. Most likely no, but you never can tell. In the big scheme of things, this is clearly a secondary issue.

My thoughts/prayers continue with those affected in Kentucky.

Mine sat for 5 weeks due to a qc hold issue. Be thankful if your car makes it out of there in less time.

Mine was built last Monday into Tuesday with an ETA for Aug 6th. Got a call from the dealership it should be there today. Not sure what time now because the transport is at a tire shop but at least it's coming.

Or perhaps they are short on drivers - this was mentioned in another thread as a possible reason for a delay.
