Blackwing Order Tracking - 2022 Model Year

Well...shit...I tried deleting a couple posts out of the old order tracking thread and I apparently nuked the whole damn thread!

NOTE: the order tracking system is for U.S. based orders only. I can only view orders placed with dealers in the U.S.
NOTE: I will only track ONE order per member. If you have orders in at multiple dealers, pick one...

Was there New York auto show in 21?

NOPE. Going on the 16th

Why can’t we just do paper work at dealer and go pick up our own car.

C'mon man, that would be to easy.... Can't have all this going on

Welcome to the world of fucked up logistics.

Welcome to the world of fucked up logistics.

Exactly this, exactly not this, and maybe this.

What I can tell you is there are some reasons that make sense. ie shortage of one electronic component that’s on your build.

Then, there are others that make no sense whatsoever. Ie (insert any excuse here)

So the answer is ultimately , exactly what you said.

Previously, waiting all year for your car didn't cost you anything. Fed said they are going to raise rates at each of the 6 meetings they have left. Delays now will start costing money for anyone not paying cash. Rates went up .5%, assuming they do that kind of increase if not more at each meeting to combat the high inflation, rates might be 5-6% at the end of the year. Big wake up call after enjoying near 0% rate on car loans these past 10+ years. They have meetings early May, Mid June, and late July. Good luck to us all

You actually bring up a good point. Here’s the game plan.

Step 1) Buy car now without carbon, pay less interest.

Step 2) tell wife you saved a bunch of money doing so.

Step 3) order carbon parts with money saved. Ship it all to work, not to home, or you’ll have another goat rodeo to deal with when the wife sees them show up.

Step 4) don’t check your math to see if it was actually a good idea. Plausible deniability.

Step 5) Enjoy blackwing with carbon, earlier than everyone else still waiting.


Winning.

That's pretty much my plan. That and I don't like all the carbon that's in either kit. So this way I can pick and choose hah

I just wanted the rear spoiler. I saw the factory one listed for $3K so maybe I’ll pass or get aftermarket.

I’ll be lucky to get a car period. Interest rate is the least of my concerns. I’m still figuring out what I should wear when I go to pickup the car. A goat costume seems the most appropriate, but I feel like there may be other options to look at.

I'll be wearing depends by the time my car comes, if it ever does.

 

[Slick Blackwings]

At this point I’ll be HAPPY just to have the car, the more I think about it the more I will like having the best SLEEPER around! Amongst the rest of us!

Sometimes the chase is better than the acquisition......

Sometimes the chase is better than the acquisition......

I have felt that way many times on some of the special vehicles I’ve purchased.

This is no joke. If I ever get my car I’m going all in. Right now this is my front runner.

For me it works on a lot of things........

Super Cruise – Delay of Introduction on 2022 MY Cadillac CT4 / CT5​

At beginning of model year, we communicated our expectation to offer Super Cruise (UKL) as an available option on both CT4 and CT5 models. Due to the continued impact of the industry-wide shortage, we are announcing that the feature will not be available for the 2022 Model Year. For those dealers with orders that were accepted with Super Cruise, representatives from Cadillac will reach out to discuss revising these vehicle orders. Cadillac will communicate when dealers can begin accepting orders for Super Cruise for the CT4 and CT5.

Note: Super Cruise was never going to be available on the V Blackwing but it was supposed to be on the normal V, so this is applicable to this forum..

Pretty strong prices for the 5bw at Barrett jackson. i thought the 4bw they had would do better but I guess the interest is in the 5 for now

And the Goat Rodeo King spoketh...did you even had to chase? Almost seemed like they delivered your cars direct from Lansing to you.

Only on Autos? How does that makes sense? Figured common parts can be used between autos and manuals.
