I really would hate to get the car and wait most of the year fir SC. Seems like it should be ready by now.
Any news on when the Super Cruise OTA will be ready?

It probably will be for 2023 MY (and 2024 deliveries), as well as the last of the last Debuts. About a month away from their last communicated target date. Just a software update - and Debut owner's got an incentive for it not being ready.
Ahh...
Has GM ever done any OTA updates on any other vehicles besides that one time with the 2017 Bolt?
Yes, Lyriq has already got a bunch.
Had several for my 2019 Volt.
What was the scope of those OTAs? Just main UI, nav, maps, audio, etc.? Or did they extend out to other components like engine computer, transmission computer, lighting control, braking, HVAC, etc.?
Of those three cars only the Corvette and Lyriq are on the VIP architecture, so they will get more robust and more module deep improvements. My Volt only got UX improvements, bug fixes, and Alexa integration for the main Infotainment stack and fixed a few HVAC issues. The Corvette on the other hand already had several OTA recalls done to fix engine/transmission module issues and other safety issues.
We have a few threads here documenting Lyriq updates.
On the C8, they extended beyond just the infotainment system, including DCT controller, the HVAC system, etc. Some C8s got lighting control update (mine didn't need it). With the Global B architecture (also called VIP), they can update most any system as long as no new hardware is needed.
Very cool. Glad to see that GM has OTA experience beyond the UI. So far in the Lyriq updates, it looked like the OTA were only superficial and the dealer was required for deeper updates.
So the idea that Ultifi would enable full-car OTA is not entirely new for GM. It is a lot like VIP 2.0 in terms of scope and user experience, maybe?
VIP is the underlying hardware and wiring, Ultifi is the top level firmware/OS.
So did the top level firmware/OS with VIP have a name? Or did everyone just call it all VIP?

Another piece that proves VIP is on Lyriq.

Still has a start button.
Ultify should still roll out as a package update, maybe at SC time or after.
Features that were rumored to need Ultifi are present in the 24.
For all we know, Ultifi is quasi already there, we know the OS underpinnings are.
So to answer the question - no, no confirmation.
But I'm sure @ElectricAvenue will be dissecting the software shortly - right after he is done making that charging curve.

Weather here just got pretty nasty. I probably won't be doing any long range / deep tests for a week or 2.
