Quick howdy

The dealer sent me a picture from VIN View showing "ETA Pending Dispatch" with all of the "Actual" values still showing N/A.

What is the code?

Any known issues with Cassens right now? I saw that they just delivered a Bolt to the dealer today, so I know that stuff is moving. But I have no idea when that other car was released to them in the first place.

Same issue as always. Not enough drivers and not enough haulers.

According to my salesman...

Shows Bayed: Ready (4B) as of 12:04 EDT today. Code is 4104

I'll continue to hit the Cassens site every morning and look at deliveries headed to my dealer

Still in 4104 status, but salesman said it looks like it's delayed. And they changed the shipper from Cassens to Roush (and it doesn't look like Roush has any online tracking). Still watching the clock closely, waiting for the treasury to deliver bad news...

Mine changed to 4200 (shipped) status yesterday but still no ETA.

We went to 4300 yesterday...the salesman believes that the car was moved to the shipper's yard (Roush), so hopefully it's on final approach

Hello,I am also new to this forum. Looks like a great forum!

Well, my Bolt was moved from Lake Orion up to Flint, which is the opposite direction of the dealer. But it appears to be at the Jack Cooper shipping yard now, showing Bayed:Ready (4B) at the offsite yard. My salesman is reaching out to his manager to see if they have access to the Jack Cooper tracking system to see if we can get this car down to the dealer ASAP. Still showing "ETA: Delayed" though.

My order now has the ETA as 4/7/2023. Not sure how much we will miss on the fed tax credit by then. Hopefully, the deadline will be extended.

Fingers crossed for you! Where are you located? My dealer is only about 3-4 hours from the factory, so it should be trucked straight from the yard to the dealer. It's so frustrating to have no visibility myself into what's happening and knowing that there's nearly $4k on the line.

No updates today...still showing Bayed:Ready (4B) as of 5:28am ET yesterday, sitting at the Jack Cooper shipping yard. It's a bit frustrating that they use a single code for multiple things...

• 4B00 ORDER BAYED; VEHICLE IS WAITING ON TRANSPORTATION OR PULLED FOR QUALITY CONTROL

Waiting on transportation is one thing, pulled for QC is a very different situation. Being off-site already, I'm hoping it's just waiting on a truck...and I'm not hearing/seeing any current issues with Jack Cooper deliveries.

I am in Columbia SC.
You said your order moved to 4300 but now back to 4B00. ETA in gerenal comes with 4300.

The ETA has gone from "Pending Dispatch" to "Delayed." And I think it's ping ponged from 4B to 4300 and back to 4B at least once.

Just saw the cut-off date for the full tax credit has been extended from 3/31/23 to 4/17/23.


My EUV is on the train and currently moved to Kentucky and ETA is 4/7/23. So if all goes as planned, it should qualify full $7500 credit.

We've had no updates since Monday From what I've read from some of the Corvette folks, Jack Cooper has 10 days to ship the car, else they lose the contract. So we'll see what happens next week. I was somewhat relieved to see the date pushed out a couple of weeks, but I won't relax until I have the keys to our Bolt in my hands

My dealer said the train should arrive in Columbia on Monday then it will take 2 more days to the dealer but could be up to 2 weeks. They can also request a pick up from Columbia and not sure if it will be approved.

Mine said they'll call on Monday to see if Cooper is going to deliver it or if they can send up their own truck to pick it up. @wux if I were you I'd do everything possible to be in charge of your own destiny there. If your dealer is willing to pick it up from the distribution hub, then I'd absolutely have them do that.

Another week, and another lack of updates. Apparently the owner of the dealership got on a call with GM this morning to express their irritation with the delivery delays, especially since the cars have been invoiced and the dealer is on the hook for paying the interest. The car was dropped at Jack Cooper's lot in Flint, MI on 3/27, so if any of the other things I've read hold true, they'll need to have it on a truck by Wednesday. We'll just have to continue to wait and see, I guess.

Other dealers I've spoken with have also expressed some concern, as they've all tried to reach out to GM to get permission to pick up the vehicles themselves, but GM does not appear to be responding to any of those requests or allowing anyone to pick up or deliver these vehicles, but also won't say if they're being held for QC or some other reason, either. The lack of transparency is unbelievable

Still has no ETA? In my case, the train has dropped the car at its final destination, Columbia SC, and the next step is either trucked to the dealer or dealer pick up (need approval). The dealer is going to request a pick up and will even give me a ride to the dealer if they do. The ETA is still 4/7/23. You arrived my current stage on 3/27 but still no ETA. GM and dealers should know about the 4/17 deadline and that $3,750 or more is on the line.

Salesman put in a "pick request" through VINView yesterday morning, to see if they can just go grab it. As of EOB yesterday, there was no response, but the request apparently was received as the sales manager got a call asking why there was a pick request for the car. Which is funny, because there's usually just one reason for that kind of request - the dealer wants the car and doesn't want to wait.

I did some more research last night into VINView and that whole process, and it's interesting. According to the documentation, a dealer can request to pick up a vehicle that's been in 4B bayed status for at least 72 hours without movement, and the carrier/yard manager has 48 hours to respond to that request. They can accept it and schedule a time for the dealer to pick it up, or they can deny it, but they have to provide a reason for the denial. So I'm hoping that we see some kind of update today, and will hopefully have our Bolt in our driveway by the end of this week.
