Knowing how corporate minds think...
... and there has never been an issue previously with the amount of trains available to transport vehicles from the factories...

...until "now"...

This sounds like a corporate level decision to intentionally throttle vehicle deliveries in order to ensure some sort of steady income for *ALL* dealerships' i.e. in order to keep them all solvent to some level.
Keeping the dealerships solvent keeps the profit incoming keeps the corporate investors happy.

Imagine a glut of tidal-flood-like-flow of vehicles to your local lots...

...those prices would have have to come down in order to sell them all... and then followed by a period of no new vehicles or sales...
...business models upended!

Given the effects of the current chip shortage and how the local dealerships are managing and advertising their periodic trickle of newly arrived vehicles...

...the numbers don't lie...

...I think we, the consumer, are being played.

They need to "trickle" my damn Jeep down to TX. Shipping storage for 3+ weeks is ridiculous.

Right there with you on that one. Been is storage for 3+ weeks, except I'm in Michigan. Took so long they found corrosion on the front bumper and had to replace it :facepalm:

I don't know how the supply for Ram or Chevy Trucks is being reported, but here in SLC there are two huge fields full of several hundred trucks. One is full of Ram, the other Chevy. A guy (not dealer affiliated) told me the Chevy field was waiting on chips. I call BS. I don't think they would have or could have shipped them without chips and still parked them all in nice neat rows. Seems like if there is a shortage you can charge more so the shortage just might be manufactured... 🤷‍♂️ They will figure it out after all of us here have finally received our 392s.

From a GM rep also a friend, the vehicle will run, however, the chips needed are for up-level models and optional packages. These include blind spot, active breaking, intellibeam, Night Vision, lane keep etc. Can't ship a Denali etc without them. He also said the engine management semicon they had in inventory was not applicable to run cylinder-deact.

Well, I guess Jeep heard my earlier comment. Just got the "Cara" email stating my Jeep has entered the shipping stage. This prompted me to contact my dealer who double checked and I have been moved to "KZS" status as of this morning. #761896 for spreadsheet trackers.

Hearing stuff like this I’m hopeful that if mine is built this week it will actually ship out with everybody. Because if it was built last week or the week before it will probably still be sitting around.

Hi All
Just received my VON today (50203067) for what is almost the last day to order a 2021 392.
let’s see how long this one takes.
I will acknowledge that I’ve read this entire 206 page post and feel like I know all you guys. Thank you all for the great conversation.
