Is this every time after starting the vehicle or just from a cold start? ---

Ask the dealership if they have any software updates (re-flashes) for your car’s computers. Otherwise this seems like some kind of transmission or engine/transmission interaction malfunction. It might be something pretty simple to fix though. Does your speedometer seem to be ok, especially when this is happening? ---

Again, what is your service department saying? Keep all copies of your service orders and your dealers reports. ---

This sounds like a sluggish valve in the valve body. Try letting the engine idle for about 30 seconds right after a cold start before putting it in gear. If it doesn’t slam on the first shift, then it is most likely the valve body. I would not mention this to the dealer if it works because they will then tell you that a 30 sec warm up is required. It is not required and they need to fix the issue. ---

Unknowns are mileage, whether or not the transmission has ever been serviced, and whether or not the car has ever been driven hard. I know; Corvettes don’t get flogged. ---

Again I ask, have you talked to the dealer as this is a warranty problem. ---
