I ordered 7/4 and had a similar situation with estimated ship (ahem, build) date. Started at 9/30 then pushed to several Oct dates. Now, Koons tells me I have none at all but I’m still D1. This status stuff is bogus. They could call me the King of Siam, but if they’re still not building my Jeep, I still have no Jeep.
Unfortunately, the one thing we've been able to be pretty sure about is that when (order, build, ship) has little to no relationship to when your Jeep will actually arrive at your dealership.... Though I can say with transportation issues being what they are, I would be inclined to believe that they use multiple methods (truck and train) to ship. It may well be in Baltimore at the moment.
Yeah, I am used to it.
I would assume there would be a note once it's released from the yard to say a port like Baltimore and the dealership would be able to see that.
In your earlier post you mentioned 21 days since your Jeep was built. Does the tracker show that your Jeep has shipped?
Tacker shows it as not shipped but the entry in the dealership shows exiting the yard on the 23rd.
Yeah… I figured as much. I saw another post the other day from someone asking “can I order my 4XE now, and know it’ll be made by the end of the year” and honestly, that’s just kinda sh*tty for those of us who have been waiting a few months. Like yeah, sure, tax credits will change — so... Maybe plan a head a bit more next time? There are financial changes for those whose builds are waiting who ordered a few months ago too - they might end up paying higher rates and overall more for their vehicle too if they’re financing. It just feels kind of entitled to see people encouraging that while a lot have been waiting for a while.
I feel you cuz I'm on the same boat, but there is another aspect to it. The more 4xes Jeep can deliver to showrooms by end of year, the more they will sell because of the incentive. If they stop prioritizing the builds, people will stop ordering them at as high a clip and dealers won't have the selling point for them. The rest of us probably will order anyway, even though it sucks to wait and definitively has real consequences to us.
The thing that makes me pretty irritated about the 4xe is that by current standards, it's a pretty shitty hybrid range wise. It's almost entirely useless as an EV unless you're a city driver, and a wrangler isn't meant to be a city vehicle... I could rant on a lot about how silly I think the JL 4xe is.....
I guess that's the plus side of knowing I won't get my order this year, the various strikes are unlikely to affect me and go on so long.
We considered a 4xe but our other hybrid has a 60 mile range and such a low range just didn’t make sense considering the higher price tag.
