I said a Chevy sales manager laughed when I mentioned the chip shortage. ................ I see sporadic chip shortages like a climate control for the F-150 and texas made chip hiccup for Grand cherokee, but many plants still cruising along. We are not talking generic chips. As far as I can see the Camaro shares that LARGE Lansing FACTORY with Cadillac ct5 and ct4 production both of which are ANEMIC. It is NOT a capacity problem, even if the Cadillacs were in demand which they aren't, they can't give them away, Cadillacs are not hampering ANY Camaro production. Global pandemic? NOPE. That is in the rear view mirror. Chips could be a minor issue but the demand is LOW for all the Lansing plant models. Once they open up there is NO reason why they can't produce all the Camaro's to fill demand with ease. |

I got one right away, but I was told my order was accepted right away, I have no idea if that was something to do with my dealer possibly having an allocation. This all new to me, just figuring it out as we go here.

Ordered a 2021 2 SS 1LE in mid Feb. TPW is 5/17 as of now but who knows. Was looking at local dealers in SW Florida inventories. Was looking at Silverado 1500 because there are no Camaros or Vettes anywhere. Printed on the truck window sticker in the last row of the sticker on a In Transit vehicle was a $50 credit for something like Active Fuel Management microchip/processor delete. Im getting a V8 Camaro SS. who cares about AFM?

Ehh first time Factory Camaro buyer, had a 2012 RS and 02 Firebird 2010 Impala. Was really looking forward to having my 2021 SS I put my order in 1/28 and my build week was 3/1. My car has a VIN has been bayed since 3/1 and when you look at the other manufacturers still doing their best to ship out their ENTIRE line it makes ME regret loving the (ICE) Camaro's so much. I'm sorry I don't believe someone paying more for their car should have to be inconvenienced because your profit margins are coming from the shit boxes they try to compete with Japan. I'm going to wait my car out but this will certainly be the last GM car I ever buy.

I put a deposit on a satin steel ZL1 1LE yesterday. Its a car the dealer had an allocation for and it was already on order.
The Event Status was 3000 with a TPW of 5/24 before I put my deposit down, but I changed the color and transmission. Does anyone know if that will effect my build date or Status Code? |

I'm at 3100, does that mean I should be good on receiving a 2021?

Maybe she doesn't, BUT maybe she does (not my sales manager). I did a bit of a news search and found SPORADIC shortages of SPECIFIC chips that have caused SHORT shutdowns for many different brands, above mentioned fuel saving chip, climate control and jeep interior buttons to name a few. The news sources say it was because of canceled orders from last summer and for Jeep the texas cold weather. But those stories all said that those chip makers are now working hard to fill the demand. Camaro stands out as the longest shutdown I could find. SHE said it was a GM CHOICE because of LOW demand and profits. MY POINT > Once GM decides to produce Camaro's again they can satisfy all Customers like me and the handful of other factory order people active on this forum/thread because general demand sucks. Since you are so knowledgeable about all this WHICH SPECIFIC CHIP AND ITS FUNCTION UNIQUE TO CAMARO is the CAUSE?? please post link |
