Just ordered, my first build. Never done it before, but figured instead of waiting for possibly good deal on the existing market with extra options I don't need or care for, which boost MSRP up, I'd rather order exactly what I want.
Did you order your Gladiator?
How long did you wait for it to arrive at the dealership?
Should I be getting some sort of weekly updates on the built, or is that wishful thinking?
Wonder what kind of set back my order will have due to the COVID? Dealer told me possibly 12 weeks or longer.

Just ordered mine one week ago (through @Travis@TriCityJeep) and heard the same timeline (12-14 weeks). I chatted with FCA and got my VIN and was told "Currently all of your parts have arrived, and your vehicle is scheduled for and awaiting assembly line work." No clue what this means in regards to timing but sounded encouraging!

Cool, I ordered through Travis as well :), good guy to deal with.
How did you "chat with FCA"? What information did you provide them so they can find you?
I hate waiting :-0.

He is the best! Easy to deal with and great deals!
go to: https://fcacommunity.force.com/Jeep/s/knowledge and then hit the CHAT button in the upper left. Have your VON available to give them. I selected the Customer Service option on the Chat window. They will ask for your address and then help you out!

Impossible to estimate delivery time with any accuracy right now. If you find thread about
How Jeep and FCA Factories Will Look Upon Reopening With COVID Prevention Measures
you will see FCA is expecting production to be only 50% as before (vehicles per day). Couple that with not knowing how many builds were left not completed when they shut down, and you have a lot of uncertainty . . .

I think it likely employee pricing will remain in effect for the immediate future to generate much needed cash flow.

Are you saying on top of the known 8% off of invoice you can get deeper discount? How so?

I ordered mine in September 2019 and it was ready for pickup at the dealer in November - about 8 weeks.
