2022 Build Availability and MicroChip/SupplyChain issues

[BlackLTZ]

Whats up guys - I've been holding out to place an order and have a 2022 Tahoe Premier(diesel) built.

It looks like the 22" black rims from the factory are unavailable due to supply chain issues and I've heard rumors of the microchip shortage affecting builds of new trucks as well.

I was hoping to be able to place the '22 order within the next few months but I'm optimistic ill be able to.


Can anyone shed light on this? TIA

First ordering of 22’s to occur in July. With September build dates for October delivery. That’s the best case scenario (so I’m told)
Chips ,polyurethane etc will impact manufacturing and delivery. Right now rst’ a are the popular builds with very few if any options.

Have a plan B. I don't trust the Feds or GM to fix this microchip shortage any time soon. Maybe the big 3 will learn a lesson from this mess and push for production of vital parts back to the USA.

I found a 21 Denali Dmax Ultimate inbound to a dealer within 3 hours of me, has all the features I want, including max trailering, air ride, deploying side steps, etc in the color I originally wanted. Satin Steel metallic. They are willing to sell below MSRP and throw a few things in. Don't think I can do any better. Prob going to put a down payment on it today. They said still 2-4 weeks out due to chip issue, but its about ready to fall thru the funnel.....

That’s a fantastic color and getting it below MSRP these days is a steal! Good get!

I have a deposit down on one that's being built, but has been sitting for months....again the ultimate package...also have deposit on escalade...build date on week of 5/3....I guess I'm going to get whichever one is built first LOL....this is insane.

I ordered my 2021 Chevy Tahoe LT with LT signature package on January 25th. Still no build date. Starting to wonder if I should back out of this or wait it out. Build to order time frames seem to be so inconsistent.

anybody know if I’m entitled to get my deposit back? Suggestions?

 

[DGMO]

Most dealers will give you the deposit back....has the order been accepted by GM?

How much do they make you deposit?

Spoke with a Chevy salesmen who said they expected to receive vehicles in march/april and did not. Build times are way out of wack

Paid a $5K deposit.

My dealer let me do 3k deposit, but clearly stated “Non Refundable “ !
They don’t want to waste their time with people who are constantly fishing for better arrangements...My dealer said they get multiple calls a day on the same units, and everyone is supposedly serious! Non refundable makes sure they are really serious....

 

[DGMO]

I would check and see if its been accepted by GM....try to get the number status....I think they’ll let you out of the deposit but that’s bigger than normal. My Denali deposit is just 1k. Same issue though, stuck at 2200 or something (likely part issue in Denali Ultimate package)

I was recently in Detroit for work and spoke to a local connected to GM. He was saying to keep things rolling and people working they are building trucks, then pulling the control box(with the chip issue) out and building the next truck. They keep swapping parts from one truck to the next. They have a huge lot full of trucks all ready to go, all missing a control box. Once they come in, they will replace them all and push them out.
So, let’s outsource to China, great idea.

 

[DGMO]

Really good insights...that makes total sense re the control box

One of my buddies ordered his dually sierrra back in September last year, and it just got to the assembly line step yesterday. After reading about them building trucks and then letting them sit without controllers, even 7 months might not be enough time in his case.

Thats good insight-thanks.

I'm assuming if there are an influx of chips sent to GM over the new few months that there will be a ton of vehicles hitting the lots? I wonder if the majority of "In Transit" listed on Chevy website are awaiting chips/box.

Well I gave up...really wanted an Escalade (owned alot of Denalis and Escalades). Talked to my local Dealer Principal and friend and he told me to find something else. He has all 3 brands, Cadillac, GMC, and Cheby and cannot even order a Denali or Escalade with Air Ride. He said the GM supply chain is so F'd up and they cannot get answers from their upper level Division Mgr anymore. All fleet sales have been cancelled and they may get a Denali order dropped in but again, no air ride. Never seen it this bad he said. And I came across a fully loaded Cadillac Platinum with every option (yes even SC and Night Vision) at a dealer about an hour away, and available, and those ass clowns added an Admin Fee of $12k. I offered to write them a check for MSRP less my supplier discount and they laughed, it would have been about $102k plus taxes. I would never pay MSRP or even close to it since I have always had Supplier Pricing (Escalade is about -$5500 off MSRP). No ******* way I am paying List+ for GM product. They wanted $119,700 for that Escalade. I told them no ******* way...that was the last straw for me.

You folks that put non-refundable deposits down are insane. Never, ever do that. A good dealer would never even entertain that. I really hope you get your rides but the dealer prin I know and spoke too said there is no end in sight and most likely will never see your car arrive exactly the way you built it. Please be sure if you put money down have the build sheet signed and it has every dam option you wanted or walk.

Kept my appointment at Benz dealer and ordered a new GLS 580. Keep sending everything to China Mary Barra, such an awesome ******* country!

I just bought a Denali DMax ultimate that shipped from Arlington complete this week, so they must have SOME chips available. My dealer said everything on the spec list was on the vehicle.. Power boards, Max trailer, Air suspension, etc... No Omissions...

Rear entertainment?

I heard there was a constant on ordering anything with it. Just curious. I held out and got it on mine.

Couple of observations - for those of you who put down "non-refundable" deposits - check with your state attorney general or consumer protection bureau, etc - verify if the state allows it, or if they must allow refunds. Also, check the paperwork you signed when putting down the deposit.

Next - I've seen no constraint on the rear entertainment screens, only the max trailering and air ride - both of which are only constrained, not Unable to Order.... that being said, it appears that 3.0 diesel Denali versions are starting to be produced with both options on them. (There may be other trims also, but I've strictly been watching Denali XL's)

If a vehicle is marked as "in transit" it's definitely not incomplete, sitting in a lot. Vehicle production status should be 4200 or greater (vehicle shipped)

That being said, orders for 21's close out at the beginning of May, so there's only a few weeks left to order.
