We have heard from various sources that all dealers will have at least one car by May 6th. I was under the impression that that car would be their V6 dealer demo car, NOT someone's sold order.

The dealer has every say as to which "sold order" gets pulled first. Let's assume that they have 5 sold orders and there are no constraints on any of those orders. GM tells them that they have one order that can be filled. It is up to the dealer to decide which of those 5 orders gets submitted. Now if there are constraints, that changes the game.

Again, it is up to the dealer to decide in what order their particular orders get placed (again assuming no constraints on orders). How produced cars are distributed across the US is another topic all together. However, it is not necessarily done in the order in which they were placed. Some people who ordered on October 13th may actually get their cars after people who ordered after them.

I hope this helps.
