I wouldn't go by what that site claims. It seems to be about as accurate as the crystal balls and dart boards they used in the past.
Not gonna fuk around with the site...Mon. I'll just swing by the dealer and see what the deal is...

I would verify through the dealer anytime it was changed.

Just the status of the order. I would assume that it's been assigned a vin?

It was accurate for my order.
I only know about customer service/the tracker for two out of maybe 15 orders, when I did try to follow the progress. Or lack thereof.

I learned a lot trying to find out about a '19 Challenger order. Primarily not to believe anything that customer service said.
That time it became kind of a game, seeing how hopelessly inaccurate their answers were, while getting correct info from the dealer.

Next was the tracker. Since it wouldn't take up anybody's time, except a little of mine, I did check on what was going on with the '23 Durango. Sure enough, the order date was correct, the rest a month or so off.

Since the tracker is most likely run by the same people that also answer the phone I didn't expect it to be any better. And it wasn't. Calling the dealer is really the only way to find out what's really happening.

Fortunately I was 1 for 1. The dates did change back and forth but that happens anywhere.

Maybe that's a pity thing for known multi-door buyers. Or, they want the the vehicle to be at the dealer asap, before the orderer succumbs to an alligator?

So they have no capacity to build the 170, they are re-vamping plants for EV, the Hemi is in all means dead and they only have the Hornet to show for it.

I'm not surprised like @DavidKFla either. IMO kill the brand and give it a good burial plot. It's over.
Exactly - looks to me like they were just trying to milk the hemi till they close the door on both the Dodge and Chrysler brands. Feels like they are killing the Plymouth brand all over again. Plymouth was my brand - WTF???? I have no brands I can support anymore!!!

Monday I'm going to have to make that inquiry with the dealer....like I said last week was the first call I made to them since I placed my order...I assume the fact they said not to worry..I will get my car is indicative of the fact they have a vin...I will confirm that Monday...I've never called them in the past with my other Demon..or HC...I just let the process run its course...
Good Luck!!!

Makes you wonder...do they really think they will be able to force us to buy something we really don't want?

I called my dealer for the first time since the release last week...amazing how little...(if at all) Stelantis passes on info to the dealer network....he knows nothing...but assures me my car will be built...
All Dodge has to do build get the Demon's built to a certain point and the car can sit until they are finished getting parts for it. They have done this for years with Ram where there will be thousands of previous model year TRX's sitting for like 6 months AFTER Ram has already switched to a new model year. Dodge sent emails to people confirming they would complete builds AFTER the December deadline I revealed in my most recent video.

Heck I can answer that question with delays. Everything is getting pushed and they don't have anything to show off. Ram was delayed 6 months pushing the Hurricane engine and seems like they are embarrassed with the TRX Hurricane. Dodge doesn't have tooling in place year to build the next gen cars and pulled the Hurricane at Roadkill nights for an "issue". Chrysler going back and forth from what I was told between a EV 300 or EV Airflow. Jeep doesn't have the 4xe Wagoneer ready.

All they would have to show is vehicles they already showed other than a Hurricane Ram truck that sounds like crap and I bet they are actively working on the exhaust.

Hell that's easy. They intentionally jacked up prices. Ever since Stellantis was created 22 months ago, TRX price jacked up almost 40%, tradesman 29%, Laramie 29%, Wrangler 392 26% increase, Hellcat's 23% increase, I can go on and on but you see the point they are moving to less volume/higher margin model. And will use software locks for about 60 billions MORE euros in 2 years

Those software locks didn't work out for BMW.
