I am in the same boat! Yukon XL SLT built on 5/13 and moved to Midlothian on 5/14. Also a VIN of 299###. Yesterday GMC Chat told me I was now at code 4200 instead of 4300 but still no window sticker and nothing on VIN VIew according to the dealer. Who knows!!
Midlothian to Possession

It goes to show you how random this whole situation truly is. My TPW was 5/9 but I am pretty sure my unit got built sometime the week before because it was on my dealers lot on 5/11 and there for 3 days before the dealer knew it was there. It was just like yours, Yukon XL 3.0 SLT VIN 29xxxx.
Dealer said the same thing to me today. Has a few XLs in transit built well after ours. Unfortunately not what I'm looking for.
Let's cross our fingers
Our weekly email update from chevy.com chat was worded a bit differently this week. I am trying to not get too hopeful, what are everyone's thoughts?
Your vehicle has been produced. At this time, we do not have an update for shipping. Your dealership has the tools available to see when the shipping status has been updated. I would still strongly suggest getting in touch with your selling dealership as they are typically notified 48 hours in advance of a delivery pending at their location. Please be confident that the right people are taking the right steps to ensure you receive only the highest quality product.

Congratulations on your new vehicle! You must be very excited. Chevrolet is working hard to fulfill your order and ensure you receive only the highest quality product. Your vehicle has been produced. We are still awaiting a shipping update. GM audits all production vehicles to insure the absolute best quality prior to shipment. If issues are identified they are corrected prior to shipment. Delays can be extended based on potential material and labor availability.

I think they're telling you to leave them alone and bug your dealership instead. That's the vibe I get every time I ask about mine. Maybe I'm wrong though and it means something has changed!
That was my thought too but it's a weekly email they send automatically.

Do all Tahoes and Yukons get shipped to Midlothian after being built for quality control before being shipped to the dealership or is Midlothian only for issues like missing parts etc during production?
Was wondering if Midlothian was also a normal shipping hub and not necessarily always an everlasting hellish purgatory.

Midlothian looks like it has a rail hub spur so i think it is also their shipping lot to load rail cars, but could be mistaken

To the best of my knowledge mine did not go to Midlothian. But mine also shipped over the road via transporter. I would think there almost has to be a rail hub in Arlington at the factory.
2022 Tahoe LT here, 27XXXX. Put a deposit down on 4/15 for a “in transit” Tahoe. Has not shown up yet. Transferred to Midlothian 4/12. Seems like every vehicle that was built in late March/early April has ended up in Midlothian. Executive Resolution Team swears it’s a logistics issue yet my dealer has vehicles showing up that were built well after mine. Im not mad at how long it’s taking I’m mad with the lack of honesty and communication from GM.

Similar story. On 5/23 I put a deposit down on one that was “already built and just awaiting transportation” per my salesman. I didn’t know anything about these delays when I did that. Come to find out it was produced on 4/12 and has been sitting ever since with no window sticker and my salesman is very dismissive every time I contact him. Decided to put another deposit down on one that hasn’t been built yet but is through a very reputable, upfront, high volume dealer. We’ll see which one comes in first.
I got a call from my dealership on Friday. They informed me that last week they received a list of vehicles they have on order that have been produced, but are waiting for a microchip. Unfortunately mine was on the list. Best part is the microchip is on backorder, and they hope to get them in October. They did not know which microchip it was, but it has to either be for safety or powertrain or they would have sent the truck and retro-fit it after delivery. They are willing to give back my deposit, but there is nothing else out there.......

Hopefully this is not the case. I am in the same boat with my Yukon XL being stuck at Midlothian since 4/12. Seems strange that the chips wouldn't be available until October if they are continuing to build Yukons/Tahoes. The fact that some dealers are getting info and others are not is also insane. It should be pretty easy to say what the hold up has been on these vehicles. My dealer continues to tell me it is ready to ship, just logistics delay.
Mine is a Yukon XL SLT, 3.0, max tow and premium package. It was finished 5/12 and sent to Midlothian directly. Until the phone call last week from my dealer I was in the same boat as all of you. nothing from the GMC chat, and all of the prior information from my dealership had me sitting at 4300 waiting for shipping. I was not the only vehicle they had in this position and he made it seem like GM was going to have to shut down production due to the shortage, but I cannot find anything on that.
I ended up telling my dealer to order a 2023 as well, and hope something eventually shows up..
It makes no sense how the chips can be on backorder when 1000s of yukons a day leave the factory to destination.
