I ordered on 10/13. Going to check in to see expected ship date. This is really encouraging news as I was expecting shipping into 2022. Was honestly hoping to have sometime in February.

That's crazy! I ordered 10/12 and the last 4 of my vin are 0324. Did they really get 5645 orders in 1 day? And my order was late in the day. Either way, hope we all get them soon! I was originally hoping to get it the week before Christmas. Sooner is better!

Order placed 09/23, got an estimated ship date of 10/29 from the dealer. Looks like I should expect it within 2 weeks!

I doubt they did 5645 custom orders in one day but assuming dealer orders for their lots are included then can it makes sense.That's crazy! I ordered 10/12 and the last 4 of my vin are 0324.

I'm not sure where we could get that info. However, there are a few cool videos on YouTube of the production line. It is hard to tell with the video editing exactly how much time each build takes but seems as though they can make a lot each day.

I finally had some time to Google it, according to Wikipedia, in 2020 they built approx 1,600 a week. Pretty crazy!

I was told by Tri-City they aren't starting the 22 builds until 6 Dec. I ordered a Manual Mojave with all the bells and whistles on 22 Oct and my VIN ends with 107601.
That said it does make sense that they could be building them now because as said earlier there doesn't seem to be any real change other than what is in each package.
I can't remember where I read it but supposedly it takes 13 hours on average to build a Gladiator---which makes no sense at all from a guy on the line building Chevy and GMC trucks in 79 where it took only about 3.5 hours to get through the whole line.
Seems to be like everything else associated with Jeep---no communication, no accurate information, no coordination.
It's the digital age for pete's sake and these idiots are still advertising the 2021 model and the Jeep website only has the ability to build a 2021 vehicle. I know freak jobs like us are in the great minority but I still think everyone hates car salesmen and dealerships so much that they do some research before buying.
What I think is worse is that the website doesn't provide information but only advertising BS. Most options have a "more information" link which doesn't provide any information at all----just exactly what is said on the front page of the build site. Take a look at the wheels for example. I would expect the "more info" link to discuss the weight, bolt pattern, and offset of each wheel type available. But of course it shows none of that, just the same old thing before the link. At least with the tires the "more info" talks about the difference between AT and MT tires. But again, no weight or load ratings...

My order was placed on the 27th and I already received my VIN. How soon after should it show up on the tracker? I see some folk who ordered on Nov 1st already have a window sticker. Is that normal?
