I had an awful expoereince with the one blue oval SUV I owned, and never again. I can handle the wait. Builds being delayed is what it is. Jeep made some serious mistakes with this tracker and have not improved their ability to have accurate data to share. They could resolve this whole problem with better data transparency and communication/sharing methods. But at the end of all of it is a JEEP. They know that too and probably have made the strategic(ally poor) decision to not focus on the tracking, data and updating.
The tracker just adds a visual to the frustration because we can check all day, every day!!. When I ordered my '22JLUXR back in Feb. there was no tracker. The dealership said 8-10 weeks. It finally arrived @5 months later. Frustration level was pretty high back then but I had to call the dealership for any updates. Which I hated bugging the saleman. Like you said, at the end of the day when the new Jeep is sitting in my driveway, I won't even be thinking about this process. Unless that is they come out with an anniversary edition and I order 3 Jeeps in one year. Then I will be reliving the previous two waits until that one arrives. BTW, thanks for what you have done for us with the tracking.

Not 100% sure but I was at 61 days at C one week ago I contacted chat they said they would open a case and production would start soon. Vehicle went into production Sunday, competed on Tuesday and I received the build sheet today, and have delivery date.

If nothing else it certainly would not hurt to try.
who did you contact and via what website and what did you say!!??

I'm picking up my the 4xe to replace an F-150. I'd be very cautious about switching over the the blue oval dark side. In the year I owned that bloody truck, it spend 4 months in the shop chasing demons in the computers and electrical systems. Between that and the number of Bronco owners I know whose engine grenaded in less than 10k miles, that's a no-go in my book. The build quality statistics support staying away.
That's why I'm sticking with trying to keep my 08 f150 XLT alive as long as possible. It is SIMPLE, no fancy electronics to break. Sure it has the stupid 5.4l 3v, but if I maintain it, it should last, and they are cheap/easy to replace. I thought about keeping my wife's VW and trading in the f150 on the jeep, but the VW is just a timebomb for electrical issues, and every time I look at my f150 I see a bed full of stuff that I wouldn't want to throw in the jeep, and screw hauling a trailer just to pick up animal feed and hay.

Confirmed - 152 Days
Scheduled - 34 Days
In Production - 16 Days
Estimated Delivery 11/23. Somehow I doubt that since the dealership said it's sitting in Final Inspection. I assume along with a bunch of other 392s.
Seriously considering walking away from this (my 3rd Wrangler) and trading my '22 JLUXR on a Bronco Raptor. Local dealer has 2 on the lot. The markup is insane, but at least I'd have it!
And just like Jeep, this happens after the update today. I guess the Jeep Forum Watcher who saw me say I was going to walk away and buy a Bronco Raptor decided to release my build. Now let's see how long it takes to get to Northern Virginia. I surely don't want to set the longest delivery timeframe record!

2021 Wrangler JK - 2023 Wrangler 392 ordered
Dealership told me I’m in KZLD status, which apparently means a shipping delay, unfortunately. I ordered from Mark Dodge and was built on 10/24, for what it’s worth.
I am at the same status, I am assuming the shipping from Ohio to Louisiana is the issue. I have connections in the trucking industry if they need help scheduling a truck I can make it happen lol!!

OK- there must be a 392 God or something/someone looking down on us. Mine has finally updated to Built. KZ Status as of yesterday...but updated today actually.

Literally just 24 hours after my Jeep went in to E Status, it's now built at KZ Status. This is super fast, probably thanks to the base Sport trim with minimal options. I might get the Jeep by Black Friday instead of Christmas if the shipping process goes well. Though it's a long way from Toledo to California.
I hope the shipping goes quick for you. Ours shipped out 30 days ago and do not expect it for another week or so (Idaho). Placer County, I like it. Have a lot of family there.

There’s got to be other options than a Bronco. I mean, what “GOAT MODE” do you plan to drive that thing in. (I’m hoping you’ve seen that commercial.) ?

The Bronco is a pile of crap, and the Braptor is a more expensive pile of crap.

Ford's Raptor division lacks balls, plain and simple.

Jeep takes a massive 6.4 liter-sized dump on the Bronco's launch day by announcing the 392 the same day, and then Jeep steals the 2022 Four Wheeler of the Year SUV award right out from under the Bronco, using a 4-year-old platform newly fitted with a 392 to do it, and what is Ford's response? To put a twin turbo'd V6 that makes less power and less torque than the 392 in the Bronco and slap on Fender Flares by Rubbermaid™, instead of growing some balls and jamming the 5.2L flat plane Voodoo V-8 from the Mustang under the hood. Absolute simp move.

When they began designing the F-150 Raptor R, a truck meant to compete head-to-head with the TRX, a truck that has A T-REX EATING A RAPTOR emblazoned on the air box, the ONLY move was to beat the TRX in every empirical category... especially if the resulting product was going to cost almost 40% more to start. It may be 500-800 lbs lighter than the TRX, but it will leave your wallet at least $31K lighter than a TRX at each truck's respective starting MSRPs... for less power and less torque. Ford apologists can talk about power-to-weight ratios all they want, but we're not talking about motorcycles here, and what happens when we start talking about dollar-to-power ratios? Plus, not differentiating the Raptor R's looks significantly from the standard Raptor because (from what I've read) they didn't want regular Raptor owners to regret not owning the more powerful truck (aka they don't want to hurt regular Raptor owners' feelings) is a total simp move. Ultimately the Raptor R still calls the TRX "daddy."

All of that is without getting into how much easier and cheaper it is to modify the 392's suspension versus the Bronco's, and how the TRX's suspension is still more advanced, and superior to the F-150 Raptor R's suspension.
