No way in hexx would I keep that machine! Whatever it takes to get it out of my driveway forever. That's insane.

Sorry to read about your issue. Work with the dealer to make it right.
Update: Just left the dealer, offered us a 22 Suburban LT, we took it. He has allotment for Tahoes this Thursday, we will be ordering one the way we want it and decide if we want to trade when it arrives. Up to the wife wether or not she likes the Suburban. Not as good looking as the Tahoe z71 but has a ton of room. All the techy crap is same and this one has giant sunroof.
The dealer GM treated us great and thought he was fair.
The tahoe is still sitting in my driveway

I'd say the dealer treated you more than fair. Just as lucky for them to have an open Suburban sitting in the lot to offer you as a replacement
Ya I think they were fair, threw in extras with the suburban too. We will order another Tahoe just in case we dont like the suburban.

That dealer is Gold! Keep doing business with them. Making it right on a Sunday even. Sorry that happened to you; but, it’s a machine, made by men, once in a while stuff happens. It’s what happens after stuff happens that matters most. Glad nobody was hurt, and you weren’t inconvenienced too badly. Sounds like you got a nice rig out of it; and an option for a Tahoe if you prefer it later.

But would the dealer have treated you fairly if outside the window to cancel the purchase? You had them over a barrel and they treated you as they had to.

I bought an 09 Tahoe new. Had to have the engine and transmission rebuilt within several hundred miles of new. Chips from machining were left in and scored journal bearings, couldn't hold oil pressure, trans had sticky valves, (recall campaign). finally had to sue GM, offered to just extend warranty with repairs, they refused, paid $3000 settlement. My first 3 months ownership included 2 months in the dealer's garage. No free rental. Don't expect anyone to be genuinely interested in satisfying you although, your case seems pretty extreme. You should be protected by lemon laws but consult an appropriate attorney at any sign of anyone balking.
I know it sounds bad, but it maybe the dreaded lifter issue.
my 2021 waited until it had 7,000 miles to do it.
Make sure you push the dealer service manager hard, they do reimburse for rental car costs with some noted caveats, such as the rental must be a GM car.
I had to rent a 2020 Tahoe at $50.00 per day for 2 weeks, first they gave me the story GM only pays $25.00 per day, but when it came time to settle
everything, they paid the full $50.00 per day, plus the gas I put into it. best of luck
