Okay, ordered on 12-2, got to D1 on 12-10. Or possibly earlier.
This will be a whole new experience for me since the Jeep isn't built at the Brampton factory, and (I guess) no upfitters involved.

Oh, sorry, I ordered a Trackhawk. Seems like a fun vehicle for winter use, when the Hellcat can't be out and play.

... way better than the HC logo (no offense guys, but it is going to age about as well as tribal arm band tattoos).
Even if kept in a cool dark place? In my case, that's in a box on a garage shelf.

Ordered 11/29 and I just got a VIN and am in D1 status! .
The car should supposedly be loaded on truck on 01/20/2020 and be delivered on 02/14/2020.
Sorry for the spanish lol.

Congratulations.
Please keep in mind that the info you get at this point is almost pure guesswork. Facts: D1, yes, shipping date, not so much.

I hope so, too, Pierre, but my experiences have been different. One was very different.
In other words, I wouldn't exactly plan my vacation around it.

Well, my car is at least born now, apparently built on 12-23. That's a huge relief to me as I feared a 2-1 build date.
So now it's in KZL...until someone decides to give it a train ride.

Merry Christmas, all!

Let's hope so, Pierre.
Can't remember for sure now, but if all Dodge Hellcats has to go to an upfitter, that'll slow yours down a bit.

What train hub will your car end up at, do you know? Mine's going to Salt Lake City, and the dealer isn't far from there.
Then it's up to me to pray for good weather once it arrives, so I can go put it on (or in) a trailer and drag it home.

No idea on the train hub, maybe it appears on this document? I’m in Mexico though, it won’t help with the waiting time!

Yours will probably go to Phoenix. At least I think that was one hub. Then likely trucked to your dealer from there.

Either way, don't be surprised if it shows up with salt spray on it, from the early part of the journey. and then there's the infamous rail dust.
Don't forget to take a peek underneath, and if you're picky about the paint, clay bars supposedly work good on the rail dust.

Man, I'm not used to this kind of progress; today the little wagon hitched its first train ride.
Yep, it's now in KZM. Hopefully heading west.

Where do you check the status changes? Is there a website or only with the dealer?

There used to be a good way to check via a website, but it's long gone.
FCA customer service, whether chat or by calling, is more of a crap shoot. To get good info, use your dealer.

I have my dealer trained to email me updates whenever there's a change in status.
