2023 Orders - Check in here

[2stupid]

I'm sure that every "milestone" is managed by a different Program/Project Management Office. I would venture to say that you are spot on!

maybe , maybe not.
Until I retired, I used to design these type processes for a large multinational corporation.

I know Chrysler was one of the first companies in the world to convert most of their internal systems to SAP from Germany. I remember reading articles in the Wall Street Journal back in the early 90s where they damn near went bankrupt due to the multitude of issues with the code screwing the pooch.

But that was 30 years ago and SAP is much more reliable now. Was involved with the largest field test of SAP HANA, their release that put all data into memory for incredible processing speeds. Not sure if Jeep is still using it. The code formats sure look familiar.. ;<)
Many companies have moved to Saleforce for the front end of sales and orders, and SAP to build and ship product..

In any case, one organization should own the MRP process. I would expect that to be Manufacturing in this case. Other functions can own pieces of data on various records (eg only they can create or modify it), and most groups can read any data they want so as to build their own reports. Idea is to take your "event management" (eg the status change at each step) to run the business, while doing exception management (looking for products at a step for too long) so you can have your program managers focus on resolving the screw ups and leave the 95 percent of the process that is purring alone.

Good news! Ordered Monday and I have a VIN already. 23 JLURXR Sarge green

Seems about right. Took a week for me. Ordered back on June 24th.

It’s tough, I am struggling too but remember why you did a custom order, so you could get EXACTLY what you want. Could you imagine if you gave up on the Reign and got a sting grey then a month later saw your Reign drive by. How would you feel then?

Just remember you could have ordered a Bronco over a year ago and still be in the production queue. Honestly over all Jeep is doing great, it hasn’t even been a month since they started building 2023s!

I just had this conversation after calling the ordering guy at my dealership. He said I am still in D1 but that Reign was the hold-up. I figured I have been waiting for a purple jeep for 30 years (since I was 16) so a few more weeks will not kill me.

I ordered on Aug 3rd, went to D1 on August 23rd, and since have sat without movement. I called the dealership today and they confirmed Reign is the hold-up but that he has a tentative ship date of 10/1 and that I should not count on that at all. My pizza tracker has not changed since the D1 change. 30 years and counting for my purple jeep wrangler

Based on that video where the guy said that they were going to end the Reign option in October, I wonder if they are having problems with the paint? Either that or the order numbers for that color are super low? I figure though once these colors actually enter the wild that it would drive some demand. Curious...

Shipped! I can almost feel the wind in my hair

Jeep 4Xe Rubicon Black --- unpainted top/fenders, trail cam, prem dual doors, both safety groups, cold/remote pkg, tow pkg, grab handles, cargo tub, leather, plastic mats.

Last 6 Vin - 500933 (not sure if this has anything to do with the build queues--doesn't seem to be the case.)

Timeline (Updated):
Ordered with Dealer - 6/4
Jeep Tracker Order Showed - 6/6 (+3 Days from previous step)
Dealer Emailed Vin - 6/15 (+9 Days)
Jeep Tracker "Scheduled" - 7/6 (+21 Days)
Jeep Tracker VIN Updated - 8/13 (+38/0 Days) <---I would start the shot clock from here, not a bad turn around.
Jeep Tracker "In Production" - 8/20 (+7 Days from VIN issuance)
Jeep Tacker "Vehicle Built" - 8/29 (+9 Days from "In Production")
Jeep Tracker Sticker Available - 8/30
Jeep Tracker "Shipped" - 9/6 (+9 Days from "Vehicle Built"; Showed on pizza tracker 9/15)
Jeep Tracker "Estimated Delivery" - 9/27 (previously 10/13)
Jeep Tracker "Delivered" - TBD

I'm really happy with the turnaround time on this, I was set to order a 2022 but the banks were closed when I finally wanted to pull the trigger. I was expecting a 2023 delivery date based on some of the 22 order stories I read about.

Ordered via Mark Dodge, and checking the "find a jeep" part of the jeep website looks like Mark Dodge has a nice chuck of 2023 orders heading that way.

I had that same thought. I saw an old 2018 (I think that was the year) purple in the wild and was super excited. My dealer said only 2 jeeps had been ordered in that color (from them) before they stopped. Now, I really have to be a nice driver in my neighborhood

Im starting to wish I didn’t order the grey interior. According to the tracker, only 1 has proceeded past C status. I wouldn’t be in the least bit upset if they omitted that option for me.

I dunno, those grey quilted leather seats are gorgeous. I would've paid extra to get them in a Rubicon trim to match my Sting-Gray if I could have, and frankly, it's quite stupid that you can't get that interior for anything other than the High Altitude trim.

Fuck. Like our country's supply chains aren't beyond screwed up already.



So.. they're just going to leave our vehicles sitting in a rail car or a rail yard somewhere indefinitely with no feasible manner of the manufacturer or dealer retrieving it?

the strike was settled

the strike was settled

Not yet. The workers still have to vote on it and to date per my railway employee friend--no one has seen the new agreement. But if they all vote no there is a strike.

Yes, my union went through the same thing and it took FOREVER.

When I was talking to him I was like --can you just make sure my jeep gets to me first
