Nothing new here, just what we learned last week about the power sliding console.

Distribution Updates​

Updates for Tahoe Retail and Fleet​

Week of 1/17/2022​

Effective 1/17/2022, the following changes will be made to the Vehicle Order Guide:

• Interior section-(DCH) Console, floor, power-sliding center, changed footnote 1 to read "Not available at this time. Requires (WPL) Luxury Package with (ATN) second row power bucket seats.". Also, changed footnote 2 to read "Not included at this time. Please select (D07) floor console. Deleted when (ATT) second row power 60/40 split-folding bench seats are ordered.".

Please help me understand what I should be expecting. I ordered a Z71 6.2 and pretty much all options except Brembo brakes on Jan 2nd. I have been reading about the constraints so I called my dealer to see if I should remove the rear entertainment and the sliding console to speed up my build. He said it should not be an issue since GM already excepted my order. Trying to understand if this means I was lucky and got in just before some of the constraints and I should have a build date in the next couple of months or I am going to be waiting a very very long time. I did order from a fairly big dealer in my area with a lot of allocations. Sorry if this has been asked before my salesman did tell me much except that GM would have rejected my order if there were constraints at that time.

Sorry to tell you but gm accepting your order almost means nothing. Only that yes they agree at some time they will build your order. Your dealership gets allocation each week in Thursday. So on Thursday they go through their own internal list ( check to see how many people are ahead of you) and work their way down. They will look at what they got allocation for the week and how many orders they can fill. If your fully loaded it will be difficult. For example the rear entertainment is not available until march. So unless that gets lifted sooner then you have to wait for that. That goes the same with everything you ordered. That’s why we are all waiting for the constraints because it will tell us what we would have to remove on our order to get it pushed through. That is if your first in line with your dealership. Just guessing that your not number one in mine probably much lower. So you also have to to wait for those to go through. Unless they also are waiting for an item to come off constraints. Then it will go to the next person in line.

Thanks that's pretty much what I figured. Its pretty confusing and my dealer is only telling me they placed my order with GM and it was accepted. I am not in a rush but was just trying to gauge what to expect. Now I will just sit and wait.

What you need to ask your dealer for is the status code and TPW. Constraints that come up after your past 1100 may not be an issue.

I am more confused by what the Dealer is telling me. I texted him asking for my status code and TPW. He said "not yet, the next round of orders pulls should come on Tuesday" So does this mean he has not ordered my Tahoe yet? He told me 3 days after I order it it was accepted by GM. Or its been accepted but has not been picked up by GM?

The way I understand it…you go to the dealer and place the order…they will configure your build and enter it into GMs system. like the other post said, at this point it’s been accepted by GM, but there isn’t a build date given because GM only moves forward when they have given the green light in the order to proceed…this is where the allocations come in…a dealer may have 20 Tahoes in line to order but may only get one or two allocations a week and then those are trim specific…so if the dealer only has high country and premier orders and they are allocated a Z71, those other orders get passed over

Thank you I understand now. Wish the dealer would have explained this to me a little better. Thanks Again

What is your order status code?

 

[gaffster01]

So 1100 means the dealer put your order in the system. 2000 means GM has picked the order up to be built. If you are still at 1100 then current constraints would apply to you as order has not made it to 2000. Another caveat to the entire thing is if they run out of something on the line during your build you will either go into delayed 3800 delayed or MP status 4d00 and then it’s a crap shoot when it will be completed.

The only thing I would add here is that the dealer can submit it, but it doesn’t get officially accepted until the dealer gets an allocation, and if you have something on constraint, that could be months or longer.

My order was submitted, and it hasn’t been officially accepted because of the performance package constraint, and my dealer hasn’t been given any allocation yet for the small amount of those they’re letting through. My order status code is still 1100.

These distribution really just change how you can order a vehicle. If it’s really been accepted already, then usually they indicate on where it will have something or not based on the production date.

They have not said but guessing from what the dealer has told me and from what everyone here is saying its probably 1100

You can ask your dealer for the order status code. I text mine at least once per week. Also, if you go to Chevrolet website, and go to the the chat (bottom right) and use the chat bot, give them your order number, they will tell you if it's been "officially" accepted or not.

When I dealer tells you it's been "accepted", usually they just mean that Chevrolet has received it. pretty confusing I know. think of it like ordering form Amazon (like GM), where you are actually ordering from a specific vendor (like a dealer). if they don't have inventory (or an allocation) then Amazon might have gotten the order, but you're not going to get it until the vendor gets the product.

if it hasn't been officially accepted, then it's likely to not include the options includes in the distribution notes. If it has been accepted already, then it depends on the target production date (TPD).

Be careful with GM chat their information is horrible. I was told congratulations on ordering your new 2021 Tahoe from them multiple times and that truck was never built. I was still getting emails from them a week and half after I picked my 2022 up saying it was in transit with no estimated delivery date. Another good source of information is on GM Inside news. Linton is very helpful looking up your order number and giving you current status.

Does anyone have the Yukon constraints

That is strange since the Max Trailering Package has been on constraint for weeks now and no mention of it anywhere at that link so that is not really the constraints list just looks like a change order list

I know this isn’t the right place to post this. But this was a cancellation from an order. It took over one year. And the customer didn’t take it. It’s not an XL so it’s not for me but maybe for you?

And if you are interested… Please ask for Patrick he helped me a lot. Tell him your Amys friend

Are you able to get distribution updates for other models or just the Chevys? Have an Escalade waiting for an allocation and would love to know what they are and aren't making
