Yes I was price protected. The dealer applied the credit directly off my MSRP.

I'll post a reminder to what I've said before on the Forums for all getting their 2021 C8's: the finance person in my dealership told me last Fall when picking up my 2020, that GM gave the dealer a $1,900.00 "credit" it could use towards the deal, anyway possible to make the customer happy: for accessories or as a price reduction. This was money from GM and NOT the dealer. I had my dealer take these "PR bucks" directly off the cost of an extended warranty.
Perhaps my dealer was too open with me, but that's what happened for my deal.
So for anyone thinking their dealer is being generous by not applying new pricing, keep in mind that the dealer is being paid full MSRP (that's the norm these days for any C8; lucky you if you're amongst the tiny minority paying less) so making a healthy profit from the sale...plus the dealer may be using the GM "PR dollars" on the deal rather than spending any of its own profit.
I'd suggest asking your dealer what financial incentives it's getting from GM towards the deal...to ensure you're taking full advantage of it rather than those GM funds going to the dealership. Hope this helps.

Barrie cars are now being trucked directly from the factory I believe now.
Sorry, I thought you didn't know where it was.
They have 10 days to take it from BG. Mine took a week to leave BG.
Possible, but if St Catherine's cars are not, I doubt Barrie is.
Not sure what you mean. Cars for southern Ontario have always been trucked. Mine took less than 2 days even with the stopover in Ingersol.
It was sitting in Toledo waiting for a train last week. Maybe on one now? I hope, the weather is getting nice.
Your
First dropped off at Oakville yesterday morning, then Markham yesterday afternoon and it made it to Barrie this morning...
Carlos, mine and your car were likely on the same truck

Mine was started today and is rolling off the production line 2 hours into the 1st shift on Monday April 19.
I wish. Mine was built March 25; Was in Toledo April 2; now MIA.
There is a tracking part in Workbench now that your dealer has access to. Has he not checked that?
Yes. That’s how I knew it was in Toledo. He sent me a screenshot. I asked again yesterday but did not get a clear answer. Was told it was in Toledo still; OR someplace between Toledo and Vancouver lol. He’s a friend and I think he’s messing with me!
There are about 20 C8's in the CPR yard in Ingersoll waiting for shipment to the west. Mine to Calgary (Yellow HTC) Also 2 other Yellow, Silver, Dark red sitting there.
When was TPW for your car? Wondering how long from build till now
