I am also BX, plus I received this a few moments ago from FCA chat. Sounds like scheduling is building their manufacturing line schedule as we speak...

Concierge called me at 8am with a local number from a small town in Montana (Havre). I answered because I knew a call was coming through but I kind of expected a 800 number or a number from 419 area code (missed opportunity there). Dropped the $500 with the dealer. Like others reported the concierge was literally just a "let me connect you to your dealership." I didn't have a chance to even ask a question for them to not answer. Dealer said I'd get the FCA (TreadLightly) and my assumption is the FWP is invoice but I'll let someone with more experience say if that is true (it's $4k less) - the finance guy nodded when I said "so it'd be 1% lower than that right?" He also kind of waffled and said final price may be a bit different but only in the order of a couple hundred dollars. Nice people and all that - I just wish the purchase process wasn't so dodgy at times.
Yesterday I had a similar experience all the way up until I was patched through to the dealer. It went a different direction when he said the LE will by $5,000 over MSRP - playing up the limited number. I haven't read every post here, but I haven't seen anyone with that experience yet. The dealer is only in Eugene, OR, it's not Silicon Valley or something. Anything above MSRP is a non-starter for me. We'll see if I hear back. Otherwise I'll look elsewhere (whether it be the LE or another build).

I'd walk away. The finance person at my dealership balked a bit at the FCA (1% below invoice, TreadLightly) but accepted it. There are a couple of nice bits on the LE but I wouldn't even pay MSRP for it, not when I can just wait a bit and custom order a vehicle with the same functional features and get it for even cheaper than FCA (maybe with some travel and additional wait at a different dealership). In my state they can't keep the $500 down, so I could walk away even once it arrives to the lot if they change their tune with only a loss of time. It would suck, as I do want the vehicle and have been in the market for one in this class for about 8 months, but there's no way I'd pay that much for it.

Exciting, how did you find out? through your dealer?
I just used the jeep.com chat and got a similar status on my order.

The rep also said this:

"Please understand as this was just a pre order this week, it can take 14-20 business days for us to be able to see any further information. You can keep in contact with your dealership on when it will progress, or contact us back in a week or 2 for an update. You are welcome to contact us anytime."
