Has anyone else noticed the new 2023's being listed on Autotrader and other sites? I'm confused on how that is possible when we were told that we had to go through the allocation ordeal. It makes me wonder if the dealerships bought their own allocations.
Allocations aren't only for customer sold orders. Dealerships can order as many of their allocations for stock if they so chose. Really no different than any other year. For 2023, *Dodge just said they were going to release all of the 2023 allocations at once vs a typical year where they are slowly released.

*Which it seems like isn't true as more allocations have been released since the horsepower locator was launched.

No Bees on Cloths seats?

I was looking at some Scat Packs and seems even with cloth seats that you get the Bees on the seats.

We'll, for 2023 it looks like you won't!

No mention of the logo on the cloth seats, only the Alcantara.

Somebody just got a Charger and no Bees on his cloth.

And the order guide confirms this is correct.

So buyer beware!

Not sure about all configurations, but my build sheet (posted a few posts ago) shows scat logo alcantara seats. I built a scatpack shaker.

Right, the Alcantara has it, it says on the guide Scat Pack Logo Nappa / Alcantara Seat.

But on cloth, it just says Cloth Performance Seat. That's it.

My experience from ordering to delivery.
The tracker is not 100%, my car showed "Built" even after delivery to the dealer. It never showed shipped.

Look at the window stickers. Most are 22 dealer orders that were delayed until 23.
When the dealer orders a new car it is entered as stock, and 3rd party websites pick them up. It happened to top me.

So, is anyone but me ordering after market parts for a car that hasn't even been given a built date yet? Yes, I'm eager. The first buy is an oil catch can.
Billet Technology is the best

I think red is standard for for hellcat man
yes red is standard

Scat Pack, Sublime, 6-spd manual, only options are the Plus Package and Harman Kardon sound system. Anyone been successful in getting employee pricing?

Employee Pricing is not offered on 23 models that are SRT. It has been confirmed.

I've been told by the dealer, yes. Until I hand them the check, I'm still a little skeptical though. Just curious if anyone else has been successful in getting employee pricing. Most dealers near me won't budge from MSRP and some have $1k markups.
EP pricing is not eligible for 23 SRT only RT and below.

"For example, say that a dealership near you has allocations for 50 Charger SRT Hellcat models for the 2023 model year and during the first week of the order banks being open, that dealership receives three customer orders for a Charger SRT Hellcat along with ordering five cars for inventory. The number of available allocations for that dealership in the Horsepower Locator would go down by eight units, so when the system update is performed, that dealership will then show you they have 42 available orders for the 2023 model year. That process will continue, consistently showing the drop in remaining allocations, until all the vehicles planned for production for the 2023 Challenger and Charger have been converted into orders."

Pumped to be rejoining the club after a long hiatus. Was able to get under MSRP and dealer had allocations available. Hoping the wait isn't too gnarly but happy to be back! Appreciate everyone's input on this thread as it was super helpful going into the dealer armed with info.

That's the way it is supposed to work but as we've seen here on these pages the locator adds and subtracts at random.. towards the end of November dealerships everywhere got a huge bump in cars. It went down a few days later. The locator is useless.

Wow! Too bad my destroyer gray won't be here by then.
Yeah my B5 Shaker WB won't be here by then either (and I'm happy about that TBH). Maybe there will be another deal later on in the year? In any case that is an AWESOME share, thanks man.

Heh, I am seriously considering it. Might pull the trigger on something after we close on the new house Feb 22nd as I will have a 60x30 pole barn and attached 2 car garage then instead of a 1 car garage on our Minneapolis city lot that has been converted to my fab shop.

I am not sure what I will get first...on the list is the oil thingy (TBH I need to research to see what the deal with that is), the Barton shifter, and some sort of security system, probably that 2 switch thing someone posted about recently. Although I'm saving up like a madman for as big a down payment as I can to make the payments more palatable...which enables aftermarket parts to be gotten faster :LOL: Instead of going on and on about this, this all gives me an idea for a new thread.

Car arrived a week ago, just took delivery today. Trying to duck the snow storms in Michigan.
Man, that Sublime Green is so great...if I hadn't gotten B5, it would have been a tie between Sublime and Plum Crazy Purple

And also no more heated seats or steering wheel with the base cloth seats and don't even see the Cold Weather Group as an option to get them back. So guess another money grab to force you to Plus with the inflated price this year.

I’m hesitant to offer an opinion, and I don’t mean to offend anyone, but in my personal experience I have ordered 6 or 7 new cars in my life and I have never regretted options I added, I’ve only regretted options I didn't add. It’s the last call, get everything you want while you can. If you want a bee logo, then add a package that gives you the Alcântara seats and you won’t have to guess whether you’re getting it or not. It’s a few extra dollars now, and it may stretch your budget a bit, but it’s great insurance against future regret.
