Mine was moved to 56 day hold last Wednesday then last Friday it magically appeared in Denver at the railyard so I think it’s just a time estimate for them to get them delivered on their scheduleJust got an update from the dealer, as someone said earlier, QC hold extended to 56 days.
Likely late July or August
Mine was supposed to be here 6/11-6/14. Got to port on 5/15 and last week mine was changed from a 30 day to 42 days. My dealer is also in Va and it’s currently in NewarkAnyone’s car stuck in NY? I mostly see posts for west coast or south/southeast. Mine arrived on 6/7 and I’m hoping that things are getting pushed through now. Original ETA was 6/11 but now I just have to”expecting it by the middle of next month” (dealer is in VA)
My dealer hasn’t given me any sort of updates unless I call and ask and the most I get “still expecting it mid July.” I had to mention the quality hold for them to even say anything about it. Hopefully for our sake they start getting them rolling out pretty quickly. What trim are you waiting on?Mine was supposed to be here 6/11-6/14.

Where is your dealer in VAMy dealer hasn’t given me any sort of updates unless I call and ask and the most I get “still expecting it mid July.” I had to mention the quality hold for them to even say anything about it.

That’s about 2 hours from me so not too far. Hopefully we get an update sooner rather than later but I’m not holding my breath. Waiting on a TRD sport premium but the air dam issues + JBL shortage will probably mean it takes a little longerMine is in Mechanicsville

and i know this is not the same as the tsb on the airdam, but in regards to the air compressorWhat a cluster fuck.

Yes, the "Big 3" US automakers (Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis) and other manufacturers faced significant challenges in recent years due to the global semiconductor chip shortage. This led to them selling vehicles that were missing certain standard or normally available features, with the promise to retrofit them later.
Reasons for this situation:
Examples of Features Removed/Delayed:
- Semiconductor Shortage: The chip shortage, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased demand for chips in other industries like consumer electronics, heavily impacted the automotive industry.
- Prioritization of Features: Automakers had to decide which features to prioritize to keep production lines running. Many high-tech features and offerings relying heavily on semiconductors were delayed or removed from vehicles.
- Building "Shy": To mitigate production delays, manufacturers started building vehicles "shy," meaning they were incomplete and stored until the necessary chips became available for installation.
- Promise of Retrofitting: In some cases, vehicles were sold with a credit for the missing features, and buyers were assured that the features would be installed later when the chips became available.
Impact on Consumers:
- Heated Seats and Steering Wheels: Supplyframe notes that these features were hard to come by on some GM models.
- Wireless Charging: General Motors announced this feature would not be available in some versions of their vehicles.
- Stop-Start Systems/Cylinder Deactivation: Ford and GM were forced to discontinue offering these fuel-saving features on certain pickup trucks.
- Rear Park Assist: This feature was unavailable on some Chevrolet and GMC models.
- Certain Driver Assistance Features: Features like adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert were affected in some models from brands like Audi and Mercedes-Benz.
Overall, the semiconductor shortage had a significant impact on the automotive industry, forcing manufacturers to adapt production strategies and affecting the features available in new vehicles. While the chip shortage has reportedly eased somewhat, the situation highlighted the auto industry's dependence on complex global supply chains and the importance of addressing potential disruptions.
- Longer Wait Times: Customers faced significant delays in receiving their new vehicles.
- Limited Choices: The availability of specific models with desired features was restricted.
- Potential for Reduced Safety Features: In some cases, vehicles delivered with missing features may have lacked crucial safety technology.
- Uncertainty about Retrofitting: While some manufacturers offered retrofitting programs, the timeline for when missing features would be installed was often uncertain.
Stay strong brother....your time will come lolMan gonna miss seeing you guys on the posts here.. haha mine is still in jail lol
