Order to delivery time

[MarcinTexas]

I was at the dealer yesterday ordering some parts for my telly and the sales manager told me that all October ETA's were most likely move to early 2021. (he was only talking about this specific dealer) I don't know if it applies to other dealers.

***PS: Dude you should have jumped on the order cancelled on Tuesday ***

My October ETA is holding firm at 10/13 for several weeks now. I can not see a situation where they would slip by three months into 2021.

My ETA slipped from 10/4 to 10/11 based on Stephen looking into it for me. Guess I better buckle up for the random ETA game.

I asked him to check mine and it slipped a week as well. But... I am still optimistic.

Wait what - that is NOT good news for any of us. Did he give any information why he thinks everything is being pushed to early 2021? Even if it's a NFP?

Oh the ridiculous things I've overheard at dealerships over the years...

@MarcinTexas

I think at this point all signs point to production remaining steady. COVID-19 seems to be stabilized and no major weather hitting the West Point, Georgia area. All trims are being produced and between the mix of trims it does not appear there are any parts delays impacting any one trim. I would say a dealership stating Oct ETA's moving to 2021 is like dealers saying SXP models aren't being built due to a shortage of SXP wheels....even though SXP wheels are the same as SX wheels.

They're gonna build Jersey's car after they're finished with all the 2022 Nightfalls.

@MarcinTexas

Nope he only said SX prestige. He has a ton of NF and NFP hitting the lot these next two months!

@MarcinTexas He specifically said his dealership hopefully your ETA stays on track!

His and mine both!

Side note, I'm low key worrying about this driveshaft vibration issue I just stumbled upon here in the forum. I would have assumed they would have fixed the issue for those of us with vehicles just now being built, right? RIGHT!?

Yeah - this was an issue with a few early build cars - but things went quiet and now it seems to be back again - but now with new cars. Maybe a bad batch of parts related to the AWD system? They resolved it before - I trust they can resolve it again. But that said - I will make sure to test drive mine between 65-75 MPH before I sign for it.

I was planning on having mine shipped, sight unseen. Now I'm like dammit, do I need to fly up there?

There's always warranty. Would it stop you from buying or would you just want it fixed before purchasing?

Wouldn't stop me from buying, would just like it to be addressed before committing I guess. Worst case is I just take it to the dealer in town, but they happen to blow goat balls by all accounts.

I'm betting you'll have to visit them at some point. Hope you never do though.

True, just hopefully not right out of the gate!

I am going to fly up to Dallas to get my Telluride. I am actually looking forward to the trip back...because as soon as it lands at home the wife takes the keys and I won't drive it much after that.

Just hot off the press from my dealer. Window sticker. ETA October 1st.

Any suggestions on all weather floor mats for entire vehicle?
