I visited the Massey Fergson plant and saw them build massive $300K farm tractors all in line in an hour, paint everything and it drove out to the lot in under an hour. Pretty sure you are right that these things just move down the assembly line all day and are producing many every day.
how can the paint dry fast enough to work on the truck?

What's even more strange is that i cant see a sticker for it yet in the tracker

When i had my jk built something similar happened...showed up way ahead of schedule

Dealer said my LE on it's way and should be here this week. Which is odd because last time i checked it gave me a nuild date of next week.
On the serious note, it seems that FCA is really ramping up the LE build.It litterrary only takes them about 3 days to build and inspect.... I am still wondering where the hell mine is in the process tho. Last time I checked it was in JB.... Barbara at concierge already know me by first name... that's bad....

I just finished talking to Jeep Chat and she told me that I am in KZ status.
I’m in KZ status also, I bet it’s here before Friday!

I dont know? Robots were spraying it in Germany with like 6 nozzles moving around. I guess it is possible from my viewpoint it wasnt the same body that moved to assembly, sure seem like it was.

Those are some pretty aggressive hope my friend. I am not an expert by any means but I do know that it takes a day or two to get the train car loaded, then it takes a day or two to drive the train wherever it is going then it takes a day or two to get unloaded then a day or so to get a truck to deliver it to the dealer. Rail logistics are nothing like Fedex and UPS.

Lol, I also live too close for train delivery. But definitely can’t avoid holding lots!

So very true. Expect a little over a week. Fingers crossed that it surprises you.
