Got an email last night from Cara @ Jeep Information Center/US Customer Care that production is estimated either the week of 10/18 or 10/25.

This is the official followup from when I escalated a few weeks ago. More info than Jeep Chat has. Still nothing on Cryptostickers.

8/13 VIN
8/27 Scheduling

9/24 all of the materials needed to start the build process have been received.
9/28 email from Chrysler: your vehicle is to arrive at MALL OF GEORGIA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP the week of 10/30/2021.
10/1 Truck is in Paint
10/5 Window Sticker showed up and was in shipping stage with no dealer ETA
10/8 your vehicle is in the shipping stage. Current Dealer ETA is 10/19/2021 - 10/28/2021
Our timing Orders are almost a mirror image. Mine is a base Sport though. I think the
Willy's looks fantastic, but wanted the Max Tow. I ordered 8/10. The Dealer gave me a delivery date of 10/26 and the next day JeepWave/Customer care e-mailed me a delivery date of 11/17.
Funny I guess? I'll just be happy to get it, whatever the date is.

2021 JTRD
Ordered my 2021 Gecko JTRD mid-July, and she just came in at my dealer a few days ago. Really love the ecoDiesel! Started her up this morning when it was 35 degrees F, and that motor sounds as noisy as an old school bus with a nice huge Cummins diesel. JTRD was thankfully still very noisy when I arrived at my neighborhood Starbucks drive-through for my daily $6 cup of Joe, 2 miles from my house. The nice little gal in the drive through window asked me if this was a new truck, as she’s used to me arriving in my wife’s Tesla. She was all huge smiles, and said she just loves the super bright color! She said she was having a difficult time hearing me over the “loud motor noise.” What a great compliment! I hate the DEF, though, as my diesel doesn’t have that nice old fashioned beaut diesel stench! Been driving her all around town with my winduhs rolled down to hear the awesome noisy rattle! Even when she’s up to full operating temp, she’s still noisier than all-get-out. Mind you, not as loud as my old Dodge pickup truck with its straight six Cummins, but that was like 15 plus years ago, before EPA pressure put the kibosh on horrendously loud oil burners. Sigh… But, the eco is much louder than I had dreamed, and I must say, I’m pleasantly surprised. Tons of low end torque, as when I first drove-off from my garage early this morning, I forgot to release the parking brake. Hardly even noticed this, as a light touch on the throttle, and off we went! Thankfully, I had immediately glanced down and saw the brake lever was up, so I quickly slammed it down. Only a tiny short distance was traveled, so no harm, no fowl, no brake stink.

would you happen to know the name of the dealer? I recently bought my Ram Rebel from Idaho so I’m not averse to buying from out of state.

it’s a little bit easier, paper wise to buy in California. But not a big deal, especially if I find just the right track.
The name is Evans Arena Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep. Its located in Trotwood/Dayton, Ohio.

First ride with doors off. Don't have anywhere to put the rear roof so it stays on for now.

I'm 100% sold on jeeps. Fan fuxxintastic!

That's the plan. Just didn't have time to set something up before this weekend. I'd rather not leave it sitting in the yard this weekend.
