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!
