That is a somewhat complicated question to answer.

An order can be placed by a customer at a dealership at anytime. However, just because an order has been placed at a dealership does not mean that an order will progress beyond the initial placement stage (status 1100). An order will not progress and will stay at status 1100 until the dealer uses an available allocation to submit the order and the order has been accepted by General Motors (status 2000). Therefore, if a dealership does not have an available allocation to use, or if an order is not accepted by General Motors for any reason, such as if an item on the order is on constraint and not available at the time the order is submitted, the order will not move forward.

Vehicles, such as ZL1s, and possibly 1LEs, have a limited number of available allocations, and many dealers may not have any allocations to submit for those vehicles for quite a period of time. Therefore, be sure to find out whether the dealer has an available allocation for you for the vehicle that you want to order. If the dealer has an available allocation, the dealer may not know when that allocation will be able to be submitted for production to General Motors.

A more straight forward question to answer is how long does it take from the time an allocation for an order is submitted by the dealer and accepted by General Motors (status 2000) and when the vehicle is delivered to the customer (status 6000).

In general, based on past deliveries, it appears that approximately eight weeks is a reasonable estimate for the time required from when an order is accepted by General Motors (status 2000) and when the vehicle is actually delivered to the customer (status 6000).
