Well, I think it was yesterday, a person with some credibility ( to me ), mentioned that there were 18,000 Jeeps in D1 and scheduled.
Remember, the line builds for the WHOLE WORLD. And while we Forum Members are the most wonderful Jeepers in the world, there are others out there.
For example, China is scheduled to start selling the JL next month. So, maybe those are all on a boat now, or they are loading them now or . . . . . ? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I agree, it is really nice to see people here getting their Jeeps.
That number ahod be about right at all times. Generally schedule d1 3 weeks in advance and 1k per day so.....the math works

Yes, Dave's comment made me laugh too.

I am a little "mixed" on Jeep, but not as trollish as you are. I will agree that they have slapped the Jeep reputation on some pretty bad vehicles.

My 2002 GC Overland ( still running very well ) has been the most all-around GREAT vehicle I have owned. It has saved my a$$ several times (Quadra Track is magic) and the lives of two people, and several deer and elk with its nimble handling. I love it, so I do forgive some of the short cuts they did in making it with a few of the cheapest parts on the face of the earth, but its core is pure automotive magic.

I can think of several times that I stopped, got out and looked back and said, "Damn, this did that?!?". And several times I said, "Hang on!! What the hell was I thinking" - and it all worked out, thanks to the Jeep.

But, I will give you guys this. When you say "Jeep". I see a Wrangler in my head. And note, I am buying a Wrangler.

KZ as of 6/5 - Says VDC, which I think is vehicle distribution center? So, maybe it'll ship right away (knock wood)?

No Window Sticker, yet
ANOTHER Dec. order!! Again Jeep you are failing your true customers.
VDC should be soon. I'm hoping for the best for you my friend.

my husband LOVES his Cherokee. But you know, it’s not a Jeep, it’s a car! Pretty sweet and smooth ride.
For me, I’m sticking with wrangler. May take a while, but I don’t care.
That’s a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. It has a 707 horsepower 645 pound foot of torque 6.2 liter Supercharged Hellcat V8 with an MSRP in the mid to high 80s.

Hope to see it this month
This has to be the longest wait. I would be Jello by now. Please get on the phone
to your dealer have him call his Rep now. Your order is not that different than
those already delivered. There is no way I can say "I know how you feel" .
PLEASE make that call to your dealer. Hoping for the best to come soon for you.

Thanks for posting your order dates. We are with all of you. You all seem to
be hanging in there but I just don't know how you do it. It was a bitch for us that
waited. My wish for you is it must come VERY soon and bring happiness.
So far: Dec.----4
Jan.-----3
Feb.----5
