REWB and SS ordering is stopped. Dodge has not said if this is temp or perm. Redeye NB, Hellcat both NB and WB are available and of course the JB.

My opinion? Money. I'm guessing JB makes more money. SS they sell the least of. It would be interesting to see the 22 breakdown from Hellcat and all models up.. You can still order a RENB andca HCWB but not a REWB. Whats the difference? I think money for now.
They have an insane amount of JB orders and they are being prioritized.
So guys in BX are saying “so you’re telling me there is a chance”

I don't know it thats true or not. Im sure there are more orders than expected for 2 shifts to produce. It also has to be a pain to acquire all the " bling" for each JB, put it all together in a nice pile for it to finally be built. That has to take more tome that Dodge didnt anticipate fully. If you have ordered, have a VON and BX , you should be built but we know that isn't necessarily the case. I'm more confident that mine will than not but I also expect 6 months to go by.
To me it sounds like they are stifling the SS and REWB in efforts to only produce the more profitable lines like the JB. Kinda make sense being that they ripped all the options out of the 2022 REWB and only made them available to the JB.

But they are all 1 of 1 builds 😆, that takes time and planning.
Glad I got my 22SS before all this - crazy times. Wonder what 23 will be like.

Well I've placed one and I've seen on the FB forum 2 other orders placed. There has been nothing from Dodge since the notice on SS and REWB being removed. The JB is still on the Dodge ordering software unlike the SS or REWB. So is the HCWB as of last night.

23 prob going to be worse, especially if they bring back a few colors or options as a type of SE.
Per industry norms, most orders are received in the 1Q after production begins. When I was working in the auto sales industry, we'd easily do 75% of our orders between January and April if new model production began in December. The factories usually do intentionally late model year options updates to try and pull more orders in in 2Q-3Q. We'd pull in a few more later in the year, but they never really amounted to more than 25-30% of our overall presold orders. So, it's not unheard of for a manufacturer to put a hold on new orders if their 1Q orders are so high that they're fully allocated prior to the late model year update cycle. They want to save some capacity to output some of the late year cars. In our case, this is primary going to be the yellow color addition.
My guess is the ‘23 cars will be whatever is left in the ’22 supply chain & obsolete part bins that fit these cars. Wrap them in the classic High Impact colors, specialty emblems & insane ADM’s.

I agree they have higher than expected orders so far and all the rumors has turned into a frenzy. I don't see the yellow being that big a deal though if Sublime was to come back, I'd have to order one for sure.
I'm still not convinced Stellantis is going to allow Dodge a "special" edition, since they're trying to brand the EV and i6 as spiritual successors. There's a much higher degree of chance that the 2024 model will have a launch edition. 2023 is a short production year, so there's not a whole lot of time to configure for a special edition with a bunch of new paint colors. Remember, the production year in 2023 on these cars ends in June/July.
