Krypton Green ZL1 VIN
My order is scheduled for this week 4/17. Does anyone else have a Krypton Green Z already built? If not when is your TPW?

Vin available 1G1FK1R66H0202668. My car was produced at the plant. Could this be the first ever KG ZL1? I think it is.

Thanks my order went to 2000 the day the color launched 2/9. A few days later and I was at 3000. I sat there a while until my original TPW of 5/1 went live. A few weeks later I was bumped up to 4/17 where I remained. Every day twice a day I was on the chat line. I knew all their names, Alyssa, Kaleb, Jennifer, Jeanitta etc. It was almost a sin. Those who end up with a KGZ will be part of a very rare fraternity. We can call it Kermit U 🤓

How many times can you ask if the car is shipped yet? I don't know but I'm going to find out! I wonder if there's a way to just put the chat folks on hold instead of hanging up. Hi, I'm still here. Did it ship yet?

I'd be the same way. I have another long wait. My 2017 didn't get picked up so I just placed an order for a 2018 yesterday.

4300 status and now at intermediate delivery. Chevrolet can no longer provide updates until car arrives at dealer. Rail car assignment should be in place by Thursday 4/27. Looking to have the car by Second or third week of May

Dang that sucks mid to late May? I thought at most 2 weeks from production. Im at 3400 5/1 still that means maybe June. Guess that will be about the time we can start looking at final production numbers. You still think KG Z's production in the 50's.

When the color went live on 2/9 there was a constraint of just 63 units. By 2/11 when dealers stopped taking orders roughly half were entered. There were some dealerships that managed to push orders through all the way up till Tuesday the 14th. While I can't speak to the March numbers I do know with only 41 A10s nationwide in April I doubt many of those orders went in for KG. I'm forecasting fewer than 50 units myself.

Congrats!!! I still have a TPW of 5/15 (trying to catch that unicorn was hard & I failed)... I ordered on 2/9, but because I wanted a convertible A10 made allocations & restraints kill my dreams (funny thing that under the hood of my 5th gen, it says "Dreams do come true")...
So glad that I live an hour away from Lansing. It sucks that the car will go right by my work on the way to Becky.

Yea this was not an easy car to acquire by any means. It all started with the delayed launch of the A10, followed by the allocation nightmare. Add to that the limited run in color and you've got a handful. The fact it launched at the end of the model year added even more time to that scale. It's amazing I've lasted this long. The good news is time heals all wounds. I'll never forget what I've gone through but I wasn't alone either. Ask an member of my family, friends or people at work. I've told the story so many times everyone I know can tell you event status codes and ordering lingo better than if they worked for GM themselves. I hated this purchase. I fully intend to love the car.

Thinking of writing a guide to buying a Krypton Green ZL1.
I'll call it KG ZL1 BS for short |
