Picked it up yesterday! This community helped a lot in educating me before placing my order, what to expect during the wait for it to arrive, and what to look for when I picked it up. My wife knew that she was getting it but didn't know that it had arrived, so I managed to still surprise her...
Your only option was the half doors right? I wonder if that's the hold up. Remember I was in E for 31 days, most of which was in JB status, and I also have half doors. Maybe they have to wait to get them and have them painted and keyed?? Hope you don't have to wait as long as I did!
If Tuscadero was available when we ordered that would have been it, as my wife loves that color. Her second favorite would have been Bikini.
I like Chief, but I really like Patriot Blue.
Yeah I think the arrival date going TBD after it has shipped is pretty common. Mine is marked built, but it is not yet marked shipped, so I guess I was thinking I would have an estimated delivery date with it being built and then if it went TBD after it shipped that would seem pretty normal...
I'm in Southern Maryland, Calvert County.
Crazy that yours is in Michigan which is above Ohio! I know nothing about the shipping/transportation industry so I'm sure there are reasons for why they do what they do, but I always find it interesting that some things have to go farther away...
I'm in Maryland as well and mine was built 11/30, but arrival still says TBD. My dealer told me that their deliveries come via truck straight from the factory (not rail) so maybe they'll be on the same truck together. Best of luck!
Can confirm just this. Yesterday I posted that I was just over 30 days in E and today I got an email showing that yesterday I completed E so Jeep is finally built!! But delivery is still TBD.
That's a great thought, and I honestly don't know. I would also love to hear if anyone else has insight on the process. I just know that if I didn't include them in my order now I probably would never have them, and have never seen a new jeep on the dealer lot with both sets available for...
My order process is nearly identical to yours, same 11/20 delivery date that changed to TBD when it passed. My dealer confirmed my Jeep is built but stuck in the body shop. They are hoping it is finished up in the next week or so. Fingers crossed for both of us!
Ahhh that actually makes more sense to me than the XR package being installed there. Thanks for the clarification! Hopefully not too much longer then. From what I understand it only takes a day or two to actually build them on the line, so I imagine its been waiting its turn or waiting for...
When mine went into production it said that 11/20 was my estimated delivery date. As of yesterday morning it still showed E status so I wasn't holding my breath. I stopped at my dealer and they checked in on it and said to them they can see it has been built but it is in the "body shop"...
