My TPW for my Z71 was set for April 4th. I am still a compulsive Chevy chat order status person, even though I know they will tell me the same thing (your vehicle has been accepted and is moving to the next stage of production).
Well today, I checked the status and it says "Congratulations! Your vehicle has been produced. It is important to know that shipping arrangements will take place next and your selling dealer is the best source for additional detail on that process"
Could it really be true that my order was built EARLY?!?!

Mine has the same TPW of 4/4 but when I saw this I checked with Chevy chat and they said it is 3/21 now. Things must be moving faster?

Wow - thats great! I have confirmed with my dealer my Z71 was built 3/11 when it was originally planned for 4/4. It's already been shipped and sitting in Midlothian just waiting on a ride up to TN. Never thought the process would move this fast. Glad things are starting to pick back up!
Ordered Jan 22
Accepted Feb 8
TPW April 4
Built March 11
Hopefully arrives by end of March

My original TPW was 4/11 and I just found out yesterday it is now 4/4. I guess it’s a good sign they are producing them faster than anticipated, now if only they came with everything they were supposed to (heating steering wheel, front/rear park assist etc)

Congrats guys! Has anyone here ordered a Trailer Brake Controller, Bucket Seats, Sunroof or Diesel? Just wondering whether the fast progress has to do with the fact that these features hasn't been ordered.

My order is for a Tahoe RST with luxury package, max trailer, sunroof, rear buckets, and the sunroof.

I was/am super tempted by the diesel but my wife wasn’t thrilled with the idea and we never did have a chance to test drive one.

I'm wondering if the faster production has to do with Truck Month coming to an end? I believe GM focuses resources on trucks in January/February to give dealers a larger inventory of trucks for Truck Month (March). With that out of the way, now more production capacity can be devoted to the SUVs...

If that’s the case do you think there’s any chance these suvs being built in April will come fully featured? As others have posted I’m just wondering what the plan is in terms of “later retrofit” the dealers aren’t the most responsive and I’m sure it will be like pulling teeth to get the chips added months after they have completed the sale

They did just announce that they are shutting down the Silverado/Sierra plant in Ft. Wayne for 2 weeks starting 4/7. Hopefully they’ll ramp up Tahoe/Yukon production. I ordered a Tahoe RST in October and still it has not been accepted.

It is so close to the end of the model year production timeline, I wouldn’t be surprised if they shut down early to so they can stock up on (semiconductor)parts for the initial 2023 runs to have zero constraints. Guess we will see what happens soon enough.

Have a Z71 Tahoe on order that we specifically ordered…original TPW was 4/11….found out a couple weeks ago it got moved up to 3/28…order was placed first of Jan, accepted at the end of Feb

also have a RST Tahoe on order, dealer stock order that I claimed…original TPW was 3/14, then moved to 3/28, and now it’s 4/18…dealer placed the order in mid Feb which is when I asked if they had any coming in….they had just ordered 4 RSTs the day before….

maybe it’s just coincidence, but I wonder if they’re prioritizing sold orders over stock inventor which is why some are seeing their TPWs move up…guess we’ll see when they are finally built
