Is this correct, you ordered 28 days ago and are already built and they are scheduling shipping!?!?[/QU
Whupps, I meant to say 3/2 as order date. I fixed the original post.

JBall I can not believe your order date and still no news. You gotta keep
after them. I hope it comes REAL soon. We're here if that helps. I myself
would be tearing walls down. God bless ya my friend.

I agree and figured as much thats why I haven’t posted them.

Does anyone know of better channels to obtain information on how builds are prioritized, if the delays are from a backlog or something else and if there’s any tentative scheduling for any future builds?
Apparently Jeep of Paramus NJ has a 2 door Sport S in transit (source Jeep site).

Wow-thanks for the empathy! I appreciate that. I have been beating my head on every wall I could find. Supposedly "Our resources indicate your vehicle is estimated to begin production the week of June 4." so I'm hopeful. Just hope all goes smoothly and shipping doesn't take forever. Thanks again Clif!

I went to my dealership today. I spoke to several people, including the GM. Seems like everyone had an idea what the hold up was...PST, painted fenders, the fact I ordered it loaded but didn't get leather, etc.. Most of everything said has been proven wrong here. By the way, they confirmed I am still 'D'.

Showed me a POC from one they got in yesterday, it was ordered late Jan.. I think the logic there was mine was ordered 2 weeks later so maybe it will be done in 2 weeks???? C'mon man, I just didn't fall off the turnip truck! LOL The POC showed it was a dealer order, not a customer order??

Anyway, everyone was nice and it was a nice civil conversation. I reminded him of the 4 new Jeep vehicles purchased in last 10 years from his 'team'. Says he has called FCA before but now he is going to call someone higher than his normal rep.

I now have no more resources to turn to for help expediting. When you all have whatever your favorite beverage is tonight, try to conger up some kind of good luck cheer for those of us who haven't started the process yet.
:beer:;)

@Mordin Solus Ever see a tire mounted? Ever mounted a tire yourself? You need lots of psi to pop the bead.

Reality is, who the frigg cares why the overinflation... ;)

You bring a new vehicle home, first thing early next morning, before you drive the vehicle, you should be checking tire pressure. Regardless of whether Corvette, Porsche, Jeep, whatever, you need to do this.
This is good advice. I have never bought a car or motorcycle with the right tire pressure. Usually WAY high.

Not only that, but I don't recall anyone on this thread who has ordered the reg soft top even making it out of D yet.
I see there is one in transit to Eastern PA. Tried to find out if it was customers and when ordered but they wouldn’t tell me

I was wondering if there were many standard soft top orders besides me!
I am waiting for a Sport S, standard soft top, 6 sp.
Ordered 01/18.
I have a recent POC showing D1 with a ship date of June 2 at 1:00 AM so in 2 days.
We'll see.

Other manufacturers overinflate from the factory as well. Most common reason I have heard is to prevent flat spotting during transit of vehicle.
Give it 30 hours from start to finish (KZ) . I had mine a week later. Good luck to you!

Everyone is talking tire pressure stuff. If it is not correct when you pick
it up BLAME YOUR DEALER ! Mine had the dealer prep day before I picked
her up. Tire pressure right on. My dealer is great. If a little thing like tire
pressure is wrong when you get your JL your dealer workers are not
doing the complete prep. Like they say "It's the little things that count"
