Hello from NC everyone! I am so super excited! Ordered the Rubicon w/ all the bells & whistles today!!!!!! ...a little worried I added too many things & it will get more delayed but I decided to not settle & just go for it 🙃 most excited for the sky one touch roof,, of course after the electric option!! Was nervous to order bc of all the issues I’ve read about and it being such new technology w/ so much that could potentially go wrong but I decided it had a good enough warranty to risk it & hope for the best. Can’t wait to take my grandsons for a ride!! 😊 Mimi’s can Jeep too~ ✌🏻
Thank you for the suggestions! Please allll tips are welcome!!! Anything anyone wants to recommend that I should get, do, or know while I’m waiting for it to get here is greatly appreciated!!
My 4xe is the first vehicle I ever built for myself. I put everything on it I wanted, too, and have no regrets. The one touch roof was the single best feature. You’ll love it! I’ve had zero issues so far. 🤞🏻
That was the single most hardest decision!!! 😂 I ended up going with white bc I figured if I ever wanted to change it up, it would be the most versatile. I got the VIN todayyy!!!!!! 😁
congrats, i placed my order on the 6th , it said its in D status, or something, i talked with the rep and they said they are gathering all the materials for the build
@JeepinMimi you ordered yesterday and already got your VIN? I ordered yesterday too, so am jealous; I haven't heard anything yet. Also ordered almost same Rubicon (no one-touch). I'm wondering if they'll push these last orders thru faster since they're closing 2021's production down and will be re-tooling for 2022 soon ...
I ordered mine on 7/9. White rubicon, all bells and whistles, one touch roof as well! The dealer hoped to get a vin last week, but I never heard anything. I’m hoping they have a vin for it and just haven’t checked. I’m trying to be patient but it’s so tough! Hope you get yours soon!
Congrats! I ordered on Sat 07/17 also (after thinking toooo long). I was bummed to find out that the base MSRP has gone up $1220 and the hardtop $50 since 7/15. But that's life in an inflationary environment. Still waiting for the dealer to contact me with the VIN.
I just ordered a Rubicon tonight. I currently own a 2019 Sahara Ocean blue with the 2.0. It’s been a great vehicle and I’m hopeful some of the bugs will be ironed out by the time our 4xe goes into production. I’ll miss the ocean blue, but we went with Granite Crystal and this is a great color for the Rubi! The dealer is estimating 8-12 weeks. Congrats on your build!
How long typically did it take to get a finished build before all of this chip shortage mess? This is my first time getting a build to order , so two months does seem kind of long
2-3 months is normal for a build to order anything. If it comes in 8 weeks consider yourself fortunate. Mine came very quickly (7weeks) because I used up a dealer allocation. And I didn’t get any of the safety stuff…Lane assist, proximity keyless, adaptive cruise…so on. So easy build. My thinking was, I hate that crap, I know how to drive and less to go wrong. So far so good @ 1300 miles.
I hope you get yours real soon.
Congrats!!
I reserved my Sahara on the 13th. Let’s hope we get our Jeep’s soon! Mine’s in “C” status and the dealer ordered that car on the 9th of June 😅
I was pleasantly surprised with 8-12 weeks. I work in the construction industry and lead times for basic commodities post COVID are crazy. as far as equipment, the lead times for basic HVAC equipment was 4-6 weeks and is now hovering around 16-20. There are significant supply chain disruptions. Add the the global micro chip shortage and manufacturers have the perfect storm. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that all of our lead times hold. Our Rubi has minimal bells and whistles so hopefully that helps. Depending on delivery date, the first trip will be to Tincup pass or Yankee boy basin. Good Luck all!
I got my 29V 4xe rubicon to hold me over until my f-250 build delivers…it’s gunna be hard to not keep but the wife says I get to have only one… I bet Jeep figures out the supply chain before Ford
I’ve gotten two updates from Jeep chat. Sounds slightly conflicting and idk how to take them lol. The first time I contacted them was Tuesday, (7/20) said “your vehicle is about to enter assembly, scheduling status currently”. Then on Thursday (7/22) they said “the parts required to build your vehicle are being scheduled, and will be scheduled for build when they are available. Reach out to your dealer as they may have more accurate information”. So I will reach out to them tomorrow and send an update. I haven’t had my patience tested like this in awhile 😂.

Jeep chat will be like
"Your vehicle is being delivered to your dealer, while some parts are still being gathered , congratulations on your purchase your vehicle was delivered successfully may 2
I heard from a rep that they will start building all the jeeps that still in the collecting part phase mid aug, kinda like a knock em all out in one go then go down the list to dealers who placed in order, then who ever didnt get theirs 2weeks after that batch then they do another batch October
FINALLY changed status D1!!! In line for production with an estimated ship date of 9/17! Getting excited & ready to order some accessories now!! 😂 What are must haves??
I wish I had a level 2 charger & installed already. I need to do some research on which one to get! I really want bigger tires/lift/cool lights but it’s already so expensive just don’t know how much I’m going to let myself spend!! :-|
