"It's not being shipped as a whole car"

[CL80N]

I tried searching the forum for something like this and could not find any info about it... After seeing that my order was shipped on 6/25 and delivery is TBD, I reached out to my sales rep. I received the below head scratching reply. Can someone please help explain?

"So looks like your vehicle is finally being shipped from the manufacture... It has a Vin and all, however it's not being shipped as a whole car.. just by the parts. Its on the way from Toledo to Dixiana SC to be properly assembled. So we're definitely getting somewhere, but not quite just ready yet."

It is a whole car. There might be some dealer-installed accessories that need to get fitted after it gets into town.

Salesman is an idiot.

Maybe they are going back to the world war II thing where they ship in a crate and have to be assembled.

Congrats to your sales rep for the career move. Growth opportunities at IKEA must not have been great.

My order is about a basic as you can get. The only options I had are a hard top and max tow package.

how awesome would it be if you could goto mopar.com and order a kit gladiator how you want. 5.7l with trans 4:1 rock track. no axles or suspension, get that box delivered and call some buddies!

Yes! All day long. #kitjeep

Jeep does ship knocked-down vehicles overseas to be assembled in-country. Dixiana, South Carolina, is not one of those overseas destinations.

A stripped-down Sport with Max Tow sounds like the start of something beautiful.

Maybe it's complete except for the PCM.

mine shipped and then the train stopped at another jeep plant to do something from what my dealer saw. it was there like a day and then on it way again and arrived looking like a gladiator….question, should i have gotten an engine?

So, I wrote back asking for additional details. The rep's reply: "The factory that makes the parts isn't the same factory that handles the actual assembling of the parts. Crazy huh?" Maybe I should just stick with communicating directly with Jeep.
