Added my information. SS reserved at 11:01 Monday night for Raleigh NC delivery........now just have to think about colors.

All I did was paid and reserved from the Chevy site. I was not able to choose a trim or option. Were you guys able to choose trim and option?

I think depending on when you got in determined if you could pick your trim. I was able to also select SS, but when I looked Tuesday morning, it said the 'exclusive reservations' (whatever that means) were full, but you can still make a reservation.

In other words, I am in for a long haul...lol.

Hopefully not. You never know how many will actually convert reservations into orders and how production will go when it starts. Just enjoy the ride! Haha

Any else get the feeling these reservations are useless. My dealer has no idea the process when I called with my reservation number.

Unfortunately there are some dealers that are probably a little behind in the process but we are a good ways out from starting production. As we ramp up and they get more information on their end I think it will get a lot better.

Soo am I SOL of getting one in 2023?

Hopefully not. I don't think we have any 'real' information yet on how many reservations were taken nor how many they are planning to build out in 2023. Also, could depend on what trim you are interested in. Just hang in there and as more information is made available, it will probably be shared here even before the dealers know. Good luck!

I don't know about any special badging, but this is all the FAQs say about 'exclusive'.

I mean that is my only thoughts I cannot believe that within a matter of hours at 11pm at night "East Coast" time it maxed out production.... I really don't see that going on I really don't, I mean the Blazer in the ICE form is very nice and very popular but your still battling the ICE junkies out there plus it's not a Truck. I mean I know when the ID4 launch and even Fisker they had "Launch Day" trims which sold out but still took reservations for their cars and still was on track for their 2023 production.... I'm keeping my reservation hopefully sooner the better and not going into 2024

Also did you get a call from your dealership or any follow-up?

A few thoughts.......

1. If you are talking about the Fisker Ocean One that they are only making 5000 of, well, they've been trying for the last 25 days and still can't get enough people to put down a $5000 non-refundable deposit for those. I'm still holding my Nov 30 '19 reservation for now, but the more I read and hear, I'm 99.9% going with the Blazer.

2. Keep in mind that all of the Blazers are going to be 2024 MY at this point whether they are built in 2023 or not. Also, I wish we knew how many reservations were taken at this point. That way we would know if we're talking about 10,000 or 100,000 orders to be filled. Also, just like they did on the Lyriq and Fisker has said, they are going to build 'X' number of vehicles, but if production goes faster or people don't transfer reservations to orders, they will be able to take more into production.

3. I hear your initial thoughts on them maxing out orders, but with gas prices, etc. People are scrambling to get whatever they think they can get ahold of it seems. Taking a $100 reservation isn't selling a $40-65,000 vehicle in a year though.

4. At least they are still taking reservations and haven't done like Ford on the Mach-E and completely shut the system down.

5. Forgot this one. I talked to my dealer on Monday afternoon and he was watching everything go 'live' that night as well. Told me to call his cell with any questions. I didn't, but appreciated his offer. He called me the next day to see if I was able to get a reservation in and I said yes. Gave him my order # so he could start tracking it's progress when the time comes.
