The visualizer never worked for me in 2024, but only for a brief time in January. I wouldn't be on the visualizer even working, but would be nice to have.
My understanding is that you can now place orders for the 25 model year. But the visualizer still references24. WTH??? Wouldnt you think the 25 info would be available shortly after the 24 production run ends? Big fail on GMs part IMO.
I am guessing it will got live after they announce the ZR1 so they only have to do 1 site update. Pricing on the builder needs to be adjusted to the new colors and options.
I'm still waiting to see the new purple and yellow on an actual car instead of a little plastic shape. You would think some pre production units would be on the roads by now.
I think a lot of folks are confusing the 'visualizer' with the 'Build & Buy' tool. Not the same thing. We may get a ZR1 visualizer at some point but I don't think it will go live at or right after the reveal next week. That car is not going to be a 2025, face facts. ZR1 visualizer aside, what I can promise you is that you're not going to see a "Build & Buy" for the ZR1any time soon . The Z06 was revealed and hung out in the janky visualizer for more than a year before pricing was announced.

I'd cross the border and go to Carlisle next month. When I ordered my last car the trip was sure worth it.
I anticipate pricing at least this week as the first round of MY25 allocations are due to be announced. As to the actual online tool, anyone's guess.
First 2025 allocations were sent out to the dealers last Thur., 7/18/24. Constraints will be announced this Thur., 7/25/2024, and orders can be accepted then. Per Corvette Blogger
Start of 2025 production is scheduled for Mon. Sep. 9, 2024. Strange how GM expects customers and dealers to place orders for a 2025 model when they don't know the prices. Seems like
they would already be out by now.
Accurate^^^ I just count the constraint announcement as the "go time" when a customer knows if they can actually order. The allocation means jack **** if you want a Z51 with mag ride and your dealer can't order it. Semantics but you get my drift?
I don't think GM has EVER had the visualizer up and running prior to accepting orders for a new model year. Not once. Given past history, I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't available until they start building 2025s in September.

You're confusing people. The 'visualizer' is that thing they had up for the Z06 for like a year before it went on sale. It has no prices. I think you mean the "Build & Buy" tool which you click all the options and get a total price and a (poorly) rendered image of your spec. It used to be called "Build & Price" but GM changed it a few months ago.
The VISUALIZER is not the same thing as Build & Buy.
My understanding is that you can now place orders for the ‘25 model year. But the visualizer still references’24. WTH??? Wouldn’t you think the ‘25 info would be available shortly after the ‘24 production run ends? Big fail on GM’s part IMO.
The Order Guide is available. And that’s the Bible for ordering.
Is the order guide something the public can access on their home computer? Or is it a dealer only thing?
build & buy for 25 should have been available weeks ago IMO. Get it together, GM.
Build & Buy is used to drive traffic to dealer showrooms. So, it will remain 2024 for some time as there are plenty of 2024's in dealer inventory. GM is doing exactly what they want to do. Those wanting to order a 2025 will be able to make do with the 2024 Build & Buy along with the Online Order/Reference Guide and a price list (once it is released) - don't be surprised if prices aren't released before the first 2025 order allocation.
