A video posted by Chevy Dude, a Youtuber and Chevy Salesman that tends to get a lot of insider information, has brought forth news that Chevy is revoking or canceling C8 Corvette allocations to dealers nationwide. The amount of allocations is said to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 percent. Right off the bat, this sounds troubling, especially if you’ve placed an order, but it’s not as cut and dry as it sounds.

Is Chevy Cancelling C8 Corvette Orders?

As of right now, there’s no evidence that Chevy is, in fact, canceling orders for the Chevy C8 Corvette. It is cutting allocations to some dealers, but as you’ll learn from the video above, the automaker is focusing on allocations of unsold C8s. So, if the dealer down the road was allocated two build slots and couldn’t sell the car, then the dealer probably isn’t getting either car. If someone has ordered them, however, chances are that Chevy isn’t canceling the order.

Chevy Dude is citing that there are some “internal issues with the car” while others are saying that the reduced allocations come from a delay in production after the United Auto Workers Strike. If anything, this will certainly penalize dealers that were overcharging for build slots and have yet to make a sale as, chances are, they’ll be the first to lose their allocation altogether.

On that note, we’ve reached out to Chevy to see what they had to say about the whole ordeal, and we got the same message as other outlets:



With that said, it wouldn’t be a good move for Chevy to start canceling allocations that have already been booked, so if you fall into that category, I suggest you wait patiently for your number to be drawn. The last we heard, customer car production of the C8 Corvette Kicks off in early February, so those that were first to order should be taking delivery sometime in the near future.
