CKT227,
You are not alone. I ordered a 2SS 1LE in mid Feb also (2/19) from AZ. The Sat before the 3/15 shutdown I was at 3400 and TPW of 3/15. I just checked and now am back to 3100 and TPW 4/12/21. My dealer in AZ still says they are going to build and get it...if it really happens at all with april orders of 2022s and presumed july start of the 2022 builds. Now keep in mind I'm a negative engineer who works on problems all the time. This part shortage is not just microcircuits but caps and resistors and such too and is hitting all industries (I build spacecraft products). The first thing programs and companies do when you cant find the approved parts is pressure engineers to approve alternate parts which may or may not have long term consequences in use. I could either wait and hope or do something about it. I knew existing inventory around the country was going to dry up quick and I could get top dollar for my 2016 Vette Z51 2LT with 8500 miles now with the vette shortage too. So I started canvasing the country for 2SS 1LE or ZL1 non 1LE to get what I wanted. I really didnt need the 650 hp. but wanted Recaro and Mag Ride. I had to sacrifce on color from satin steel to white but just got back from driving to OK to bring back a 2SS 1LE. I can LPO the other features I had on my order. Good luck on your decision.
