Status changed to E this morning! Had to share :)

[trez63]

Unless you're like me and ordered a "launch" *cough* edition. Still in D1 status as of this morning. I think I'm in bumper shortage hell.

Mine has the steel bumper too. Not LE, but fully optioned Rubi.

Can I ask why you went the route of buying in NC and then have it shipped to CA? Do you have to be in NC to sign any of the documents? I am in CA as well, but was leaning more towards ordering with Kent at Peterson in ID and then picking it up. But with how things are playing out at work, I may not be able to make it over to ID right away when it is delivered.

Ok, my LE order has exited D1 purgatory and is in E status. Maybe the forum gods heard my protest and answered me.

Kent didn't return my calls for days so I went with Travis. They both offered 7% off invoice.
I would NOT take delivery yourself outside of state. Have it shipped to you. the DMV in CA will treat the two scenarios VERY differently. Just be warned and do your research.

That’s just great. I thought I was I. The home stretch here. Lol. Looks like I might be a month out still.

Hate to rub it in but once it hops the train no one can give you a delivery date. Your dealer won’t be able to give you a delivery date until it’s on the delivery truck to your dealer. Once it gets to the dealer they need time for dealer prep too. Best thing to do is just forget about it until you get a call from your sales person telling you to come pick it up.

unless you tell them to not prep it!

Asshats scratched my Pacifica to high heaven. My buddy that details cars spent hours taking out swirl marks.

On my lease I don't care, on my Gator forever-mobile, i might just tell them to leave it alone and have my buddy clean it up. Then again its a truck, and i'm not cruising the mall for babes.

Just so ya know, dealer prep also includes tightening/attaching the door handles, making sure the wheel lugs are torqued, tires “over inflated”, plastics removed from seats, floor mats installed and obvious cosmetic fixes.

Well hopefully i can tell them, do everything except wash the paint!

lmao,

I can torque wheel lugs, correctly inflate tires, remove plastic from seats and install my weathertech floor mats. The tightening/attaching door handles and making sure the blinker fluid meets DOT regulations, i do not know how to perform.

When we first looked at the JL there was one in the back waiting on prep. Believe me, you want to give’m time to finish assembly!

I’ll have him do the prep minus unwrapping any parts that might get damaged in shipping to me.
I agree that the prep is important.

There is still some PDI work the dealer needs to do at a minimum before you take delivery. One thing is to take the vehicle out of "ship mode" that disables a lot of the vehicle systems other than basic function to drive it on and off the delivery truck.
