I suspect that he was before ordering, and then it got worse. That was all over on "the old forum".

Anyway, he'd call customer service several times per day, post some 5-10 times per day (in various threads) about his agony after not getting his car within a month or so.

Making it even more curious was that he really wanted an absolutely flawless car - which was a lease, and to be driven year-round in the northeast.
It was so bad that it was good, I think.

The wait is killer, but definitely worth it. Congratulations and welcome to the forum. Cannot wait to see the pictures.
Lots of great people and information here.
I already have a 2018 Charger Hellcat :)

Wow, that was quick. In "I" status now (Built, pending final inspection)
Moved to "J" (inspection OK) and then to "JB" status today (Shipped to body vendor)......not sure what that really means, I didn't order stripes, graphics pkg or black hood.

Not sure. I watched the video of the last Demon built and they installed those on the line. I kinda figured that would be the same for any widebody.

I was told the wheels are installed for the widebody in the body shop.

Doh, I believe that is right. I forgot back when they introed the wider wheels they made a big deal of the fact that they had to use narrow (blue painted if I remember correctly) regular wheels on the assembly line because of tolerances and then did the final wheel/tire swap elsewhere.

Okay, I'm out of patience now. We ordered a Trackhawk on 2-12, and it's STILL not at the dealer.
I'm starting to better understand Scatpacksam's frustration. Should probably call customer service and ask them what the heck is (or isn't) going on.

Jeez, you'd think it was going to Mexico or something, as long as it has taken already.

Well, part of that wait was obviously that they had to start production of the Trackhawk in the first place, six years later.

Pierre, I'm glad you took my post the right way.

But I'm still a bit butt hurt because of Magnified having no compassion for my well founded anxiety.
Then again, he has a Charger. Those are probably only ordered by municipalities, then sold as surplus.

Yeah, looking at it that way, I feel better now. I'll still call customer service, though.

I’m not really keen on chargers either, but let’s focus on the real problem, FCA is slow AF.
From my understanding you have several cars, so you shouldn’t be that impatient! I thought Trackhawks would be quicker as they probably sold 10 in the whole country last year , do not mis understand my comment, I f***in love it, but It seems to be selling slow.
When you start to run out of patience, just think of me lol, I’ve had no other car than my wife’s and some friends’ for now 8 months, I know, that’s ridiculous but I live 4km away from work and didn’t want to hurry up and buy any car I would then regret, I decided to be patient for the first time in my life and It seems like it’s about to pay, if I don’t receive the car with dings or scratched, of course.

We can't really blame FCA for the delay in your case, I think. Our Redeye's almost four month delay to even get on a train was a different story, but normally it seems to be shipping logistics.
At that point it's out of FCA's control, as far as I know.

And yes, the wait was definitely harder the first time. Largely because we were hoping to beat winter.
Then my 'Hawk showed up in what's probably a record time.

In other words, you win some, you lose some. I think we're all rooting for you getting your car soon, and in good condition. I know I am.
