Has anyone been given a delivery date for a 4xe?

[Indigovic]

Do you have evidence that they’re waiting on chips, or is that speculation?

While there’s no doubt that there is a chip shortage, it appears that all customer-ordered 4xes built to date are being held in storage while other models continue to ship. Since this hold is therefore clearly 4xe-specific, unless there’s a particular chip that’s only being used in 4xes, the chip shortage is most likely not the cause of this particular hold.

How else do you explain it? Chips are the only logical explanation. There is a feature on the "held" vehicles that they don't have the chip for yet to operate the feature. You don't build a vehicle with a missing major mechanical part and then install it later. Have you ever seen how vehicle manufacturing assembly lines work? They would never send a completed vehicle back into the assembly line to install a major mechanical part in the chassis. Chips are easy to put in the otherwise completed vehicle once they become avail. The vehicles that ARE shipping don't require the chip for the option. Same reason that most TH's and Overlands with off-road pkg are not being shipped. The chips are not available for something in that pkg(likely the ELSD) which prevents them from shipping them out.

It’s not ELSD. Some of the 4xes that are stuck in JS storage don’t have ELSD, and some non-4xe Trailhawks with ELSD do appear to be shipping. Again, whatever’s causing this particular stoppage is clearly specific to all 4xes, and only 4xes.

In this post, an insider notes that vehicles “can also end up [in JS status] at the start of a model year where production is ramping up but the vehicle has not to be released (or certified) for shipment.” So it’s possible that it has nothing at all to do with parts, and that some form of certification is the holdup here.

How 'bout some dip with the chips? 🤣

Do you get off on posting nonsense like this? The same nonsense over and over and on multiple forums.

…or has anybody been given a build status for their 4xe beyond D (scheduled) yet?

If so, please also tell us what trim level and options you chose, and when you placed your order.

(I ordered a 4xe SR in Baltic Grey with black leather and the ProTech package on 2/14, and am in D status.)

Just received a box from Jeep today. In this box was a jeep 4xe hat & a letter. Jeep will start delivering 4xe in Sept 2022 thru the end of the year. Now we know. Thankyou Jeep for the info.

 

[Jake22]

4xe deliveries start in Sept

Chips are in! 🤣

Just got the same package with a letter. Fingers crossed 🤞

'22 4xe's have been parked on a storage lot for months. Then they send you a hat.
Meanwhile '23 WL's have arrived at dealerships.

That’s just flat out incorrect

Can't deny Jeep botched the '22...hang tight for a '23...what's another 6 months?

Botched, yes. Sitting on lots already built for months, nope

Just hit "Ignore." His posts are worthless. You won't miss anything. Clearly has too much time on his hands and thinks he's funny.

You sayin' Jeep's building 2 model yrs simultaneously @DAC?

 

[Indigovic]

Yes, they are building ’22 4xes GCs and (I believe) ’22 and ‘23 non-4xes.

But completed 4xes have not been sitting for “months”—the first reliable reports of customer-ordered 4xes getting as far as JS status (storage) are only about 3.5 weeks old.

 

[RoyHobbs]

You sayin' Jeep's building 2 model yrs simultaneously @DAC?

According to my build sheet, yes.

 

[Jake22]

Yes, they are building ’22 4xes GCs and (I believe) ’22 & ‘23 non-4xes.

Wow...what would possibly cause you to believe '22's are still in production? '23 WL's are on dealer lots. When a model year's done, it's over.
What you believe is absolutely impossible, but hey, believe what you want.
'22 4xe's are on corporate hold 'til the entire fleet's certified to ship. Obviously it's an issue with a hybrid component. Every car has to be checked & verified & modules replaced if required...a complicated process involving engineers & vendors.

 

[Indigovic]

Not even close. Only the very earliest 2022 4xe customer orders have been built—mostly ones placed shortly after orders opened in December of last year. Several months worth of orders after that are still in D or D1 status—not only are they not built, but most don’t even have scheduled build dates yet. Their VINs show—and Jeep has confirmed—that they will be built as 2022 models. Further, a communication from Jeep just this week indicates that they expect to be building 2022 4xe preorders through the end of the year. They haven’t even started accepting customer orders for ‘23s yet.

So yes, they’re absolutely still building 2022s, and they expect to do so for months to come.

sure....months to come 😲

Sorry Jake - Indigovic is right. My order was accepted in Feb & a VIN was assigned. On July 11th my order -same VON- was re-accepted & a new VIN number was assigned. This may sound strange & it is. Anyway, as Jeep's letter states which included a Jeep 4xe hat, deliveries start in Sept thru end of the year.
