(Non) Patiently Waiting

[Thislife1977]

My AT4 was at event code 4800 last night, was loaded on a truck and left the regional rail shipping area this morning. My dealer said the computer has it arriving tomorrow. How TF does it take a whole day to drive 60 miles to the Dealership

Your rig is not the only rig on that truck. Your rig could be delivered on the first drop or the last. Who knows when the truck takes off for the deliveries. "Lighten Up Francis"!

You are experiencing the joys of dealing with the manufacturer and the dealer. If you thought you were going to get the straight shit from them thru this whole process, you are sadly mistaken.

When did you place your order?

Humph, still an archaic tracking process. Thanks for your comment

Look at it this way, the truck hauling the rigs, yours included, does not have the tech availability as your new rig will. They are working with limited resources.

Hey, it takes time to travel to the nearest off-road park and unload those things for the final QC testing.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they’ll wash it before you see it.

True...but GM has to do better

It took 11 days for ours to travel 1500 miles. The carrier has multiple stops, multiple vehicles to unload then reload. The dealer will also say a day even if it only takes a few hours. The dealer has a check in process that has to be completed before it can be delivered to the customer. Congrats! Your going to love it!

My dealer said mine would hit their lot on 4/30. Actually hit the lot on 5/5. They are so busy they said it would be a week min to get it through PDI and ready to deliver. I just got an email yesterday from SiriusXM that it had been activated, so the wheels must be turning...
I'm in a hurry, but I'm not... I want them to make sure all TSB's and software updates are done. This dealer is hours away so it needs to be right going out the door. Patiently excited to get it, possibly this coming week !

Thanks for the information. I didn’t even consider all of the pre-delivery sht that the dealer has to do

At least yours is on its way! I ordered mine on January 25th and it’s still in 1100 status…

Apparently they lost mine tho

Waiting for these units is beyond insane....and annoying.

 

[swathdiver]

Y'all are spoiled! In my younger days we placed the order and waited 3-6 months for a phone call from the dealer.

Blame amazon for creating this age of "instant gratification". Why can't a full-size SUV just be overnighted from the production line to my driveway ?!?!

Furthermore, with all the supply chain and logistical backups that have been plastered all over the forums/news, you should be grateful to even have had your order accepted and fulfilled.

Can’t believe there’s now a thread on the forum for this whining that will be here for eternity. Is this what the world is coming to?

The “World” is a place were if you don’t like a internet thread you can just ignore it instead of acting like a judgmental btch

It's not just the Amazon effect, it's the iPhone effect, the instantaneous internet news cycle, Twitter, etc. etc. that promotes all of the impatience. Many (most?) people expect to touch an icon on their phone/computer/iPad, whatever device, and get immediate action on virtually anything today. Mr. 1977, be nice...you may want to reconsider your tone in a forum that offers its community support well beyond any one particular member's experience.
