Long wait times for orders? Why?

[MoWheelsMoProblems]

Hey everyone, I'm doing what research I can before ordering and one thing I noticed was it seems like some people are waiting a long time for the Jeeps and some people are getting theirs within 2 months? 2 people I've spoken to have had their Jeeps ordered back in November and they say they haven't even started to be built. Does anyone have any idea as to why this might be? I've heard that there are some items on back order, but does anyone know any specific parts/packages that would hold up an order? I know I have to be patient, but putting in an order and waiting 4 months just to be told it hasn't even been started on would be infuriating. Any insight would be really helpful.

Chip shortages. Supply chain issues. Global pandemic.
Some things just aren't available right now and holding up builds. They won't start one until all the parts to complete the build are available

Car shopping in the last year or so has been this way, the chip shortage, used car prices at records high! Inventory is at an all time low for vehicles, and manufacturers are struggling to keep up with demands

Just went by the dealership and they had 1 Gladiator-0 Wranglers so there are apparently production issues

Everything that's been said is valid, but also dealer allocation may be at play in some cases. Not sure how Stellantis does it, but my 2022 arrived at the dealer in 48 days. That is definitely not the standard, but I ordered from Gupton and left off both safety packages (possibly less chips so a faster build?).

Jesus, best person for you to ask why waits are so long is Kryten.

Just like Vegas, but in Vegas I know why my money is gone

Why you ask? COVID and all the issues caused by it.

I figured that's the root of everything, but I was hoping someone knows of any specifics of any packages/parts that would slow the progress of an order.

Remember to look at member locations. Canadian orders have taken FOREVER to fill for well over a year. I'm in the Midwest, and my March '21 order took 3 months to arrive...but I did order weird things like a 2-door and a manual transmission. How freakish, amiright???

Ah, OK. I know people always know that one guy who knows everything right it mightve been that.

The only jeeps near me are the funky ones no one would order
