Lonely Big Ol’ Black Truck

On 6/12/24 we got an email that one of our orders was ready to ship. Since then, both of our orders are ready to ship. If you want to learn the saga of why we ended up with two orders, check out this post: How I got 2 Orders.

Recent checking reveals that both of our orders are still at “Waiting to Ship” Status. The Chevy Concierge says, “Please be aware, Standard shipping time could be 3-5 weeks, but could be up to 8-12 weeks, depending on the location of plant and method of transit.”

Our truck was produced at GM Factory ZERO, Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Center

So, refer to the parking lot picture above. While these are not EVs (at least they are Silverados) this is how I envision my poor truck(s). Sitting alone in a desolate parking lot with their proverbial thumbs sticking out, lonely and waiting to hitch a ride to California.

Let’s do the math. If the first order was ready to ship on 6/12/24 the earliest It could be here is July 3rd! That would be soooo great but not likely as it is still in Detroit as of 6/30. The latest it could be here is September 4th. Wow! That is a spread. It could miss all of our planned summer trips. We have a sailing event July 13, and a long road trip to Idaho planned for August 1. Fingers crossed. I really do not want to drive the ICE Sequoia for sailing or road trip the Bolt EV to Boise (again!).
