Pi$$ed off C8 buyer
 

Three of my friends who ordered C8s from local dealers at first opportunity:

1. Dave. Trades Corvettes every two years, always black, delivered about six weeks ago. N.P.

2. Terry. Generally buys two new GM products per year. Escalade, Denali etc.
He was told his 2020 C8 was canceled and was offered a 2021. Declined, told them he wanted a '20 not a '21. Told me "I got over it"

3. Keith. Trades Escalades every two years, Corvettes when he feels like it, generally every two-three years. Owns 4 vintage Corvettes now, has owned as many as 13 at one time. Was intending to buy his wife a 2021 convert.
Keith's C8 was built August 18th, FIVE WEEKS ago today. It is sitting on the ground in Bowling Green awaiting transportation, he is PI$$ED!!

Yes, there are circumstances involved in delivery of C8s, but this is no way to treat loyal customers of your high end product. Seems like GM is prioritizing EVs and the Chineese market while neglecting their loyal market base here.

I could see Terry and Keith going German and never looking back.

GM Issues Stop Delivery Order to Halt C8 Corvette Deliveries Until the Frunk Recall is Ready

Strange. I saw a carrier with five C8's on it Monday afternoon headed to Gates in Mishawaka.

This has absolutely NOTHING to do with C8 shipping. There are a lot of logistics involved with shipping cars out of Bowling Green and it's different than a lot of GM assembly plants. If it's still sitting, it's most likely a QC issue.

This year has been unprecedented in the car business. The strike and Covid have been terrible for the industry.

I can’t even get a new truck, I’ve been put off till the middle of October, so I wait.

I was under the impression that the 26MPH limitation and fob revisions initiated in late August had satisfied the "Flying Frunk" issue??

Glad the 2021 Tahoe I have on order (scheduled for production on 10/19) does not have a 'Frunk' to potentially fly open :)

So rear trunks are Runks?

No but Tahoes have their fair share of issues right now. The one I was driving had 2 issues in the first 150 miles. Service Restraint System warning going on and off intermittently and the check engine light came on this morning. We've also had a couple with the rear liftgate not operating correctly.

Great vehicles but GM's QC sucks right now.

Just blame it on the beer virus, that's one everyone else does :laugh:

It's been tough just getting license plates for cars this year, let alone a car. The DMV has been absolutely ridiculous to deal with. I finally got one tag mailed to me with the sticker that said "no sticker" There was no date on it. Still waiting on a real sticker to get here. It's now 2 weeks past due and we are still driving the car.
Yep, they blamed it on the beer virus

Similar deal with dad. Can't go in the DMV without an appointment and they are booked till the end of November. LOL that doesn't work when your tags expired at the end of August and they didn't send the correct stuff in the mail. Oh but wait, if you pay an extra $10 they'll get you in right now. Yeah no kidding. So they actually have openings right now but you have to pay extra. It's like a legal form of extortion.

You guessed it, blaming all this on the beer virus. So when I get pulled over I'm just going to tell the cop the same thing lol
