Unless you ordered the premium top , then its 5-14
Where did that info come from for the premium top delay? Chat told me the only addon delay was for the LED lighting group, this is the first I've heard of a delay for premium top.

2024 2 door Rubicon X in Anvil
It is well past time for an official statement from Jeep in regard to the two door production delay. Many of us have orders in since December of 2017. It has been one delay after another with no reliable explanation from a legitimate source, leaving us to rely on rumors, speculation and conflicting answers from the all but reliable "Jeep Chat". Now the latest hold up information leads to an LED or premium soft top shortage. I find it hard to believe that it takes a month to produce either of these. Even so one would think production would have been started by now for vehicles without those options. I understand a new model introduction is a very complicated process in many ways and that delays can happen. But one after another going on month after month is a bit much. And for this to happen without an explanation is just not right. This is no way to run a business or treat your customers. There are some who are frustrated to the point of walking away from their order. I for one will remain loyal and wait as I believe the new JL is going to be the best Wrangler ever produced. Lets hope we see production starting so we can all start enjoying our vehicles and start a "show off your new two door" thread! I would like to think that Jeep is doing everything they can to get two door production going but in the mean time an explanation from them would be greatly appreciated, and getting our vehicles out and to us appreciated even more! A good day to everyone and remember, we are one day closer to getting our Jeep!

That's consistent with what my Jeep dealer is saying here:

"They start production on Monday according to my Jeep rep for v6 sold orders only. They did push v6 stock units back and are only going to be building out the 2.0 for stock units, but v6 sold orders (such as yourself) will start production on Monday. Now I already have a few 2DRs already in building status as of last week, so they started early, but official production starts on Monday. Once yours goes into D1, I will let you know."
Hopefully he won't mind me sharing that, but maybe it'll spare him a few emails.
I forgot to mention that if my Jeep dealer is correct, premium soft tops are not causing additional delays for "v6 sold orders" because that's what I ordered.

And the worst part is calling Jeep the people who answer the phone are CLUELESS! The place you on hold for 20 minutes and come back and say they escalated my concern to a higher level and someone will call within 3-5 days! Never got a call

I suppose we are such a small number in the whole scheme of things. I too read the post about record sales in March
