That’s just not true, they build what they have parts for and it’s a crap shoot at best. My S went from order to complete in 16 days, but spent over 4 weeks getting from Toledo to Minneapolis. Many Rubicons have been 16+ weeks and still not built.
My jeep was built in a matter of days and sat at the plant for around a month.
Just to chime in here, in 2015 things were quite different, and in the purchase of a Ferrari, one would expect perfect concierge service at that market price. Two things, Ferrari doesn't have the volume of sales, ever. 2. The clientele is usually completely different, different expectations. As a former Ferrari dealer employee I know all of this to be true, and expected. I also understand your frustration, I am but a mere peasant, I owned a 308 for a brief time, GTS model, but, I have also ordered new Corvettes, and the Corvette people will damn near show you the birth of your left front tire during the build process. So, I too am frustrated with the lack of information. My salesman is a friend, and he updates me as much as possible, but the conflicting information between dealer, Jeep Chat, and info found here can make it all confusing. All I can say is, we are in strange times for everyone. Hope your Jeep arrives soon. My dealer has my deposit, my trade (already sold out of state), and all I have is a piece of paper that states they have $30k of my money.

From the perspective of the additional parts means potential supply chain issues for more parts, and therefore more delays, then yes it does seem useful to install all of that stuff yourself. If the vendor near the factory can't get the parts, however, then it's unlikely that someone near you will be able to get them, so you may have just as much of a delay doing it yourself. For example I had aftermarket leather put on my seats, and I wouldn't have wanted to deal with that using a vendor locally, so it was worth the extra week of waiting.
There's a lot of speculation that the sticker price is correlated with the build speed. When I was analyzing data last year I never found particularly great evidence for that, but by leaving all of that stuff off of your order, you may actually delay them starting your build.

I'm on day 70 of a ZERO option stingray JLU... I just got word from the dealer yesterday that I was "updated to D1 status and have an estimated ship date of 10/19". but that will put it at 12 weeks just to get to shipping - So at least we know keeping it simple won't get you to the front of the line either
Jeep.com customer service? I don’t see anything except chat
Mine shipped on a Friday and was prepped for pick up exactly two weeks later (Fort Collins Jeep)
For track new order u create the nickname yourself. But dint rely on cryptosticker.net the info may show up or it may be conflictedHoping someone can throw a dumb Aussie a bone!
Ordered my Willys in April. Havent been able to get any info out of my dealer or Jeep Australia until today. I managed to squeeze the VIN out of the dealer this morning. So off to the build tracker I go. No good. When I try "Look up Order" it says "Invalid search term". I cant use "Track new order" as I dont have a Nickname. I also searched through "All orders" without any luck.
Ive read through alot of info and some members say that the tracker only works for domestic orders, however, some also say it works for export orders. @Joey said the tracker worked for them and they are in Australia also.
What have I missed? What am I doing wrong?
Dealer also said there are no Willys left in existence except mine and that its waiting on parts.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
It took me 3 weeks to get a VIN and then 3 days before the search would work for me. Maybe it will work later this week. Good luck.
That's fair. I agree with your sentiment... particularly the fact that Jeep has been around long enough to have created a customer experience that is at least more ACCURATE if not better overall, than what they have currently.
nice!!! i too got a 2dr sarge green Sport S with manual!
Order 8/24
Let us know when yours ships. Mine is in storage also. Do you know what type transport you are waiting on? FCA couldn't even tell me that.
