Wow, 6 months wait for a Chevy-Tahoe
A little bird told me this. Is this because of chip shortage or signs of booming economy reported in business news today?

The explanation for the delay in getting a Tahoe.
A - Dealers are allocated production based on previous sales/volume. (might be at too small of a dealer)
B - GM builds all full-size SUVs at Arlington - Yukon, Yukon XL, Escalade, Escalade ESV, Suburban, and the Tahoe
C - GM builds 1200 a day according to website
D - Texas was hit by weather in February
E - GM sold over 60,000 full size SUVs in Q1
So if you look at 5 facts, they sold approximately everything they could build. There is no extra inventory since these vehicles were new last year.
You may now continue to post comments about alternative vehicles and their infamous brand to earn a greater web score!
Bottom line is that GM sold 642,250 total new vehicles in the first three months of 2021 vs 715,794 vehicles in the U.S. during the first quarter of 2018, a decline of 10% over 3 years. Not exactly a huge success story. Yes, they sold everything that they could build but that wasn't nearly enough.
Do we really need to look up the numbers for Tesla and Hyundai/Kia?
