I heard from some of the gossip that the reason they shut down orders is that they are 200 days behind on their build schedule. I doubt they can make that up before the end of the model year.

The only thing on the entire car that says its a Redeye is the tiny little red "eyeball" in the cat emblem on the fender. On an Octane Red car you can't even tell because its the same color as the background already!

I was/am strongly considering ordering a '23 Redeye. The problem here in Metro Detroit is the theft rate for Hellcat, Scat Pack and such is absolutely through the roof. A police officer from an Oakland County city (a safe city north of Detroit) says their seeing 10 to 12 of these stolen there - a day. A guy had a Demon and Trackhawk in his attached two car garage with two cars outside blocking the garage doors. Thieves moved the two cars outside, got in the garage and got the Trackhawk and would have got the Demon but the battery was dead. Thieves attach Apple AirTag's hidden in them to track and get them when the time is right. Crazy stuff...

The thieves are exploiting a glitch in the keyless ignition system that allows them to clone the keyfob and just drive them away. Dodge had a computer update fix that froze the ability for the system to be able to allow a new keyfob to be made. They issued the upgrade as an emergency TSB and then a month or two later cancelled it, so the problem is back now. Add to that, the problem that owners couldn't even get appointments to get the fix done, and it was/is a real $&!tshow.

Just got an email from Koons saying my car is on the way but TBD as to exact arrival date, asking me to forward my DL and insurance info etc., to initiate the purchase process!

You are about to get a car!!

Such a cool thread!!!!

Wow: info is coming out today that Dodge had completely closed the Hellcat Charger and Challenger widebody ordering for the remainder of 2022 and will be (hopefully) opening up the 2023 ordering season way early, in about a month. And that they may be cancelling a bunch of orders from the past 30 days that dont have VINs already assigned.

Ouch!

Here's that original message to the dealers from last week that started it all:

Latest update:

04/01/2022: Call with SRT Helpline indicated that the car is still in KZ status at storage yard. He also confirmed the rumor about the 2022 orders being shut down and 2023's to be open for ordering next month.

04/01/2022: Noon, Windshield Sticker popped up on the Dodge website which indicates that the car has been invoiced to the dealer.
