Just a quick update, I got off the phone with Chevy CS to see if they could shed further light on my Bayed status. I told them that I knew it was Bayed, and that I was wondering if it was in QC or if it is sitting and waiting to be shipped. The rep told me that it had entered QC, but she wasn't sure if it "came out the other end" or not. She said that QC usually takes 1-4 weeks. That time frame seems to be in line with what others have mentioned and experienced on this board. She also said that my dealer would know the ETA before anyone else. Most significantly, she said it is currently waiting for the next available rail car to come and pick it up. If that's the case, then hopefully that means that it escaped QC. However, I'm keeping my expectations low so that I don't get my hopes up. I'd like to see my car by the end of June, but I'm not holding my breath too much.

I can't help but think that the stripes I ordered may contribute to a delay. Others on this board who ordered similar stripes, and who were built around the time mine was, are also reporting that they've been Bayed or stuck at 3800. Maybe GM is just being more aggressive with QC on the more recent builds to help avoid the problems that plagued the older builds. Who knows...
