Looking forward to it, but I agree odds are there upgrades they mention with the look and tech is the grill and 12 inch screen. Not holding my breath, hell might push me to consider waiting on 25 if it is flat.

Honestly I think the 4xe is way better than any of the EV's out there. At least you can run on gas when you travel longer distances. The infrastructure isn't readily available to "fill up" an EV when the batteries drain at the end of their range. The cost and time required to fully charge makes EV's impractical for just about anything except commuting in town. The overall cost of EV's and the future battery replacement is sounding astronomical and IMO effectively makes them not feasible for 80% of Americans.
A plug-in hybrid on the other hand is at least relatively practical even if it is more costly.
That said I am sticking with my gas powered JT until they want to do an even swap for a new 4xe, because that is the only way I would consider one.
My guess is most of the 2024 "improvements" will be cosmetic.
I'm still not sold on EV. My iPhone 14 Pro shows my battery is only 91% as good as it was when it was new....less than a year. There is a reason why I have more than one Ryobi battery.

Apple designs them that way. They are the kings of planned obsolescence. Can't get you to upgrade your phone every couple years if they don't slow them down and make it so the charge doesn't last all day.

Jeep would never do that.
Battery Manufacturers would never do that.

I feel like you don’t want me to buy an EV. ?

I only drive my Jeep within an hour of the house (and on the beach as much as I can). I know that sounds perfect for a 4xE, right? I could also argue that it is perfect with the less-than-awesome MPG of a Jeep so give me gas and the cheaper price.

Lots of benefits going EV over gas. I’m a fan if the hybrid of batteries could be easily and cost effective to replace. I don’t want full EV, mainly for road trip. I can stop and get gas and be on my way vs stopping and waiting for 25’-35 minutes
