Terrible delivery times

[Tbrod]

As far as I know GM has not delivered one vette to Saskatchewan. My car was built on March 3rd and shipped by cooper transport to a Kansas rail yard shortly after. I have spoke to other that know their car is there too some have been sitting in the rail yard now for almost 8 weeks. Still not moving. Brutal GM.

Don't think that would be GM's fault .but it sure does suck...

General Motors is ultimately responsible for getting the cars to their dealerships. There is obviously a flaw.

I wish you luck.. I really want to see one up close and personal...

How can you say that? Once in the hands of the shippers, it's out of GM's hands. In normal times yes likely GM can apply pressure and push delivery times, but these are not normal times. It's bloody good news the car is shipped and will eventually turn up. It's not stuck in the build queue. One thing for sure is you're waiting a bit longer... but not nearly as long as some of your comrades here. Chill man.

I'm going to echo @ddgermann here, this is a brutal time for everyone and this delay is none of GM's doing (trust me I'd be first to critique them if it was).

With that in mind I do think some Dealerships could do a better job of communicating delays, plans and try to set better expectations. Also GM's comms strategy needs to get a kick start. We are slowly emerging out of this and they should be on top of it now.

One fellow from Winnipeg, I think, had his battery go dead in transit from sitting so long and they locked the fobs in the car. A GM tech had to be dispatched to get it going.

They are probably waiting to fill a train car bound for Saskatchewan.

Too bad they wouldn't load it on a truck, much more versatile for delivery with low volume.

A trainload made it out to B.C. recently.
