I ordered an Escalade ESV from Cadillac of New Orleans last week. It has since been accepted by GM. Dealer told me I am on the dealerships first round (truck) of orders. It's a Platinum with all the goodies, so maybe it was allocated already and I just picked up the build. There were no restrictions on the order. I assume that if you get the top of the line model you get priority.
Dealer gave me a hard promise of 2 to 3 months for delivery. It's a '23 in which GM starts assembly on 7/18. They said they used to have problems with the chips, but ever since GM has gone the way of building now and sending chips later, it has sped up deliveries.
Lincoln Dealer told me 6 months for a Navigator.
I am still skeptical of that delivery timeframe, but maybe it holds true considering the following theories:
-gas prices are insane which caused demand to plummet the past three months, and dealers are not ordering a huge inventory of '23's.
-the new process of chips being installed by the dealership eliminates the cars from sitting in a parking lot.
-the dealer has clout with GM (its owned by Gayle Benson) and does high sales volume. They may be getting the hookup over Mom and Pop Cadillac.
-I ordered before the assembly has started, which I am towards the front of the line.
Fingers crossed.

I was looking at ordering a Escalade. But a lot of the dealers in FL are adding an extra 10k-20k to the price just bc the demand for em is so high. Curious if NOLA dealers are doing the same?
