Btw, I called Genius after posting and their info still said the RAM was open, so that site gives better info than they have! Got a call this afternoon from my SA the car was released to carrier, target arrival at dealer early next week.

I'm in the Chicago area too! Week 40; my dealership rhymes with motor perks lol

Currently waiting for another audio related stop sale (not RAM)

Great to hear that cars are starting to come through, especially to the Chicago market. I'm sure the Baltimore situation has hurt dealers here. From what I've been told, Baltimore is the primary point of entry for this region. I drove by a large dealership yesterday and only saw three new cars on the lot/showroom. I went online to look at their inventory and only five or so cars were not marked "coming soon." Crazy.

Yup, most dealerships showrooms in the Midwest are empty. I don't think you can find an M more so in these showrooms as they are delivered right away to their owners. Mine is finally getting delivered today.

Even if this is a first world problem, I am hoping and praying that you guys and gals, get your cars before Christmas and even before Thanksgiving.

The chip shortage and COVID has made me appreciate the things we have right now.

I am in the Chicago area too. Maybe we could go cruise around when we all get our car.

Chicago area too. Have you considered buying snow tires yet?

[boilermaker4life]

Chicago area also, build week 40 (I think) and RAM recall still open. I'm now just hoping for early December.

I got the 829M winter 19” set with Alpin V tires. Expensive for sure, but with snow and city side streets…

Just a teaser. Dealership is still in the process of installing the Michelin All seasons. I will take delivery in a couple of hours.

And yeah, I lost the tire lottery.

Let us know how you like the car! Mine is due in port next week but it's getting harder to contain my excitement. Things are starting to feel real.

Will do brother. Initial impression is that it feels rawer than my 2021 RWD M4. Maybe, my senses are just recalibrating to the power and sound ( artificial and not). Here she is.

Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, my Week 40 build was shipped to Charleston (arrived 11/2) for PCD, its RAM stop sale case opened 11/8, and closed today. Hopefully you all see movement on stop sales in Baltimore.

I’ve had a set of Alpin 5s waiting since early September, when my friendly parts manager tipped me that winter tires were in short supply (like everything else). I nabbed 4 of 9 275/35R19s that Tire Rack had in stock nationwide.

Great spec!

What do you mean, rawer?

Thank you!

What I meant by rawer is I remember my 2021 was more docile in the default mode efficient/comfort/comfort. I noticed the 2022 to be angrier in both engine efficient and sport modes ( Haven't tried sport plus yet). Granted that my senses were jacked up during delivery, I felt the suspension in comfort mode to be a little stiffer and the body to be little tighter in a good way.

But take these initial impressions with a grain of salt as this was just 10 miles of driving. I will try to provide better insights with more miles.
I hope this answers your question, though.

Yes thank you! Wouldn't be surprised if they made some tweaks in MY22…

Can't wait to take delivery
