It's up to the dealer, really. GM will just set a time when they start accepting orders, which will probably be sometime in the spring-summer a few months before production starts.

The dealers will be the ones taking your money and making the lists.

Yup, some dealers are taking deposits for their first orders.
But they can't sell you a car now, since it's illegal to sell a car that isn't being built yet.
