They aren't. Production won't start for a while.

someone correct me if I am wrong but prototypes and mules typically are hand built. they have special vehicle operations centers for high profile vehicles and other concepts like the SS are muled as their original forms and wind tested typically with the new skins hand hung.

Any C7 that has been seen on the street are pre production cars and the pictures you've seen aren't everyday people driving around. They're all GM employees.

+1 Just cause you see them on the streets doesn't mean they are in production yet. They are testing the cars out still.
