After a VIN is assigned, how long will it take to get shipped? This is a V8 - so not sure if they are even planning on manufacturing this.
Ordered my V8 on May 3, VIN assigned on May 10, and mine has not even started production yet. Still gathering parts to schedule production.

Wow..that's so bad. I hope someone's listening from Jeep.
Same boat here, we ordered about a week before you.

I ordered Summit Reserve V8, not worried about the fuel mileage, just want the thing to have enough power to pull my boat and trailers up over mountains without concerns.
I think if you wait for a more efficient V8 you might be waiting years for something that may not ever come. I wouldn't be surprised if they go 4xe in the coming years instead to get the power gains and economy.
The difference of 17mpg vs 21mpg => 4mpg at $3/gallon... over the course of 100k miles is $3,361. I do under 10k miles/year, so that $3k is spread over 10+ years, so we are only talking about a $336/year difference in fuel costs. (Environmental impacts of course are not included, but I think most people focus on the direct financial costs when they try to 'bash fuel economy figures').
A $15k savings with a lower trim model however... buys 5k gallons of fuel... and at 20mpg (for easy math) you can drive the entire 100k miles ;-) (not including the compound interest you could get by having the majority of that $15k in an investment during that time)

I’ve seen most folks take 2-3 weeks once they reach D1 post launch. D1 is also when you get a build date so that plus transit time should give you a pretty good indication.
V8?

Thanks! Any updates on your order yet?
V6. Can’t get v8 in Laredo model
Awesome, thank you. My dealer checks on mine every other day since they also have 3 on order for inventory. They said there’s hasn’t even gotten a vin yet. They ordered limited with v6s. Maybe it was too fresh on D1 to get any kind of dates. Makes me feel hopeful though!
Well did a CHAT with Jeep today. It is a V6 Summit. Ordered on June 30th. Had great news. Below is what was sent.
Thank you for waiting! I can see your order has been released from the factory and was approved for shipping. Shipping arrangements have not been completed yet but it should be leaving soon! There is no ETA listed at this time.
Anyone know how long it usually takes to get a shipping date to delivery?
thanks in advance.

I will spare you folks the motivation, rationale, and heartache involved in the process. We ordered a Summit with the HEMI(v8) in early May. Got a VIN within a few days and into D status in 2 weeks. Its been sitting there ever since. Finally, last week we canceled our order and picked up a V6 Summit Reserve that our local dealer got. So far, happy with it as I learn and adjust to all the features, but the heart still thinks back to the V8 that never was...
I have to agree with you. I ordered a summit v6 March 8th, just got an email saying it shipped on Wednesday. No eta. My best advice is just don’t believe every date you are told…….
