My estimated delivery date just changed today from October 15 (Sunday) to October 12 (Thursday). I am not hopeful for either date really. I have noticed the pizza tracker is fairly good when your car goes into production and then cause none have shipped and all of them go to the upfitter it just stalls and dont update any more. I mean this is actually fairly accurate since all the cars at the plant my be technically still in production if they are dealing with emissions/super charger issues.
One dude on FB just posted a rumor that all the superchargers are bad and have to be all taken off and sent back to the supplier and then reinstalled. He said the supercharger failed in Leno's car already. I am not buying it. I believe half of what I see and none of what I hear!
The blower issue is real. I know an employee who works for the Dodge COO and it's 100% true that (at a minimum) the 1st batch of SC was problematic. This is when we had that 10-day period when ZERO cars were built. Not sure if that issue has been 100% resolved or not. I can ask. He did say that the blowers were seizing on the dyno. Under heat the rotors expanded and locked up, then, when it cooled off they spun again. As for Leno's car, no idea if that's true.
Other issues:
2. The CF wheels were/are leaking air (seal between rim and tire). Not sure if its all units or just some. Before hearing that I asked him if he could possibly hook me up with adding CFs to my build late in the game. His answer?
"Given the leaks and a poor quality weave you would be much better off without those wheels."
Yikes. Maybe I got lucky after all.
3. Bad fit for the hood inserts (sound familiar to OG Demon owners?)
So clearly multiple issues (and maybe others he didn't tell me about?) need to be taken care of...which honestly I'm fine with/prefer vs. sending us cars with lots of gremlins that we need to discover and fix later.
A lot of this could at least partially explain why we have seen zero cars let out of containment so far...
