I ordered a '22 Limited for my mom on Feb 28th. How soon after ordering are you guys getting first updates? VIN, order status, etc? And are they coming via email or are you communicating with the dealership for the info?

Here's an example. I ordered my 2 row Dec 9th and was told yesterday that it was completed. Talked to the dealer and he told me I have another 4 weeks before they get it. So, in my case, it will be a total of 18 weeks before I touch the car. There are examples of people waiting a shorter amount of time, however. Oh by the way, congrats!

Ordered My Limited on Feb 4th and car was delivered this morning to my driveway in NJ from Maryland. So far a good experience, dealer kept me updated a few times.

They CAN produce 4xe at Jefferson after the retool. They can also produce them at the Mack plant where they have already built 2 row, 3 row and 4xe.
This retool is to handle overflow and increase production.

Good point - That's the way I read it also.

They can produce 4xes at the Mack plant… but (apart from the handful of non-consumer units they’ve already done) will they? If they have enough gas-engine orders to keep Mack busy for two months, it might make sense for them to just start it at Jefferson.

I just read a lot. But to be clear, I’m completely speculating in this case. I know they can produce 4xes at the a Mack facility because that’s where they made the early production units for press previews and the like last year… but I also know that even though they design their production lines to allow for a good amount of flexibility, they still get higher throughput and fewer quality issues when they‘re able to sequence similar—or better yet, identical—things as much as possible.

So if they have enough demand to keep Mack busy on just gas and Jefferson busy just on 4xe, it makes sense to do that. But if Mack would run dry without doing some 4xes, that would be bad. Or, even if they want to do that after Jefferson is ready, they might also decide that at least some of the 4xe orders they’ve been accepting for the last three months really deserve attention even though they’ve never promised actual delivery dates. As somebody in that group, I’m sure hoping that’s what they do, but given the demand they’ve got for every model, I’m expecting they’ll opt to maximize efficiency, which means I get to wait. And I wouldn’t blame them for that.

Still in JB status since Feb 1st. I heard a rumor that they are having paint issues and that's the real reason it's been there for so long. Has anyone heard anything about this?
