My dealer’s sales guy reached out to me earlier today saying my ‘22 is slightly ahead of schedule and estimated shipping is still 12/18/21 though.

He was right on the money about my wife’s ‘21 JLR delivery but I’m not going to act like a baby if it doesn’t show up when estimated.That sounds really optimistic. If that's the case though, that would be great. We ordered around the same time.
Once Thursday arrives, it'll be Monday being the big day!Thursday is the big day.
Do you work there?They shutdown Cherokee production Monday. Lack of chips.
Wait, does that mean my Cherokee XJ is going to be delayed? It’s been like 20 years. I have the VON/VIN, but Jeep chat just keeps telling me the parts have been gathered. Dealer remains optimistic. Seriously, another year or two & I’ll just cancel.They shutdown Cherokee production Monday. Lack of chips.

No need to be an a$$, I was legit asking if you worked there....No I just read. You know that thing that we do sometimes.

It’s not that difficult. Put a bar code sticker on the frame and the tech scans it when it arrives at each point in the build. Takes two seconds. Build location tracked electronically. Happens every day in other manufacturing facilities.I've custom ordered 2 other cars, a VW and a BMW. Both gave great updates, so much that I never once thought to initiate contact. With Jeep, I didn't get a VON until I asked. Didn't get a VIN until I asked. No one at the dealer mentioned Cryptostickers or Jeep Chat. When I called early, the salesman told me 4-6 weeks (8 weeks ago...no status update yet). I haven't gotten one outreach from the salesman.
The brand is doing a bad job on this. It doesn't have to be perfect but their customer experience is poor...and that'e BEFORE we talk about service and reliability. Look: I want a Wrangler so I'm getting one. But I am going in eyes wide open after talking to my buddy, reading here, and my own experience thus far. I fully expect to love the vehicle (reliability will play some role in this!) and be wary of the brand.
