Just to make sure...no GT package, right?

Negative, it wasn't an option back when I ordered and didn't want to try and change anything and push it back more

In case anyone hadn't noticed yet, the Donlen site just updated their date for 2022 production. They show 9/11/21.
Hopefully they're wrapping up 21's tomorrow and then all 3 shifts to start a big initial push on the 22's.In case anyone hadn't noticed yet, the Donlen site just updated their date for 2022 production. They show 9/11/21.

I like it better when you only post good news.
Is that good news then...meaning they are done with the 2021?

Not sure how you'd interpret it that way. Sending people home on a production day is hardly good news. Probably means something is broken in the paint department, and brought the entire factory to a standstill. So I'm guessing that just pushed back the 2022's by a day or more.
We'll I'm just playing on the positive side. Your notes don't say if anything was broken, or why production stopped...just that product wasn't coming out of paint.
I can think that maybe some minor retooling, or some prep work before switching over to 2022. Trying to stay positive. Any downtime from them, in any negative way, wouldn't look good on their side.

It's this same logic that has me concerned about those of us that ordered vehicles before the packages were realigned. It's hard to imagine that POC's will be built as-ordered given the massive changes that have occurred. It'd be akin to @arod412's example above... line techs and/or schedulers and/or anyone else involved in the process having to figure out which [insert model here] gets ASG and which does not.

Just got back some info from my dealer (who spoke to his rep about my concern with having the discontinued Rebel 12A package). The rep said, "I see that this order was placed in May, but job #1 at this plant was August 26th. This truck is scheduled and should be built to the customer's specs but it does have a lot of options and the chip shortage is most likely a big part of the delay. Sold orders always top priority and this unit should be built as soon as all components are available."
Gee, thanks for that useless answer. And I passed along that job #1 hasn't happened yet (and is supposed to be 9/11). Hour-long delay in response, and the rep says, "I just found out on another call that job#1 was pushed back to 9/12, so they haven't built the first 2022 yet".
Well, at least I got something useful out of the exchange. 9/11 has become 9/12 (presumably due to today's unexpected stoppage). And it's nice to know that we're more in-tune with the factory than the reps are.

reps sit behind a desk and relay what their boss wants them too relay.
