yeah I can imagine. Exactly. I just canāt fkn@ believe they canned it. It was right there feels like. Surely about to announce it. And they binned it? Still in shock about it.
i just cannot believe they would shit can such an epic product without a serious financial impact turning into the mix...
Yeah. What a groovy set up.
Youāre not making the disappointment any better, honestly ;).
Man itās good you can make the most. Itās really the ideal set up
let me qualify that. Not that I hate em. I just hate the the direction of the design.
None of that shit is for ppl like me.
i donāt have any hate for evās as a concept. I hate what they make of them.
Thatās why itās so sad to see the gladdy 4xe go down in flames.
itās the only direction Iām...
so lose a little money for a while, have a hero truck w developable powertrain tech And find a way to make a buck in it.
that job aināt gonna get easier when u up end every supply line in the world for the sake of it.
not suggesting make everything in China. Improve supply lines. Change them...
ok no more vernacular - agreement on that much. Point taken. Since u asked;
ā> in simple terms, scale. As in none of. not enough ppl to support manufacturing hi tech cars here. Donāt blame anyone for getting out of it, no money in it.
like your oil patch. Alota work, limited returns and...
copy copy. I can understand the waiting. I was doing same, in the vein hope it ever got here.
hopefully since the did 100% of the engineering, the 4xe model concept gets dusted off down the track.
hope springs eternal
errr, that is entirely not the point. Just letting you know.
yep, your on the turbo four banger when towing.
your cruising around on the e motors going to the shops/ work.
thatās one of the concepts in it. You do the majority of the miles on the cheaper hopefully cleaner fuel source.
concept
And your point what? Got something to say about? Say it.
thatās big can of worms pal. I donāt think u know much about it.
the two biggest manufactures here were US companies? guess when they left?
Want to keep digging on it?
Iād park it
ppl do care here. Iām not buying a Chinese Ev. I wonāt support that whole industrial complex, for a variety of quite specific reasons.
hence why I was really hanging out for the dual fuel Ev/turbo petrol Gladdy.
Iām f@$kn devastated jeep have caved to the backward minds and cancelled it.
Iām...
Looks as though it was mostly developed. Then axed⦠š£
This is just sad. Sad for Jeep. Sad for the USA. A retreat from a totally unique mix of cutting edge tech and old school 4x4 charm.
What an awesome vehicle that would have been. Iād have signed up for one in a heart beat.
That Chinese BYD...
I donāt see why itās insane personally. Looks to be a small operation. It has to be worth their while doesnāt it?
your lot need to get off China pricing elrapido. Nows a good time to give reshoring prices a try
From my side Itās nothing against the pentastar particularly.
Iāve something against Nat asp small displacement bent sixes in 2.3t 4x4ās.
it wouldnāt matter whoās brand it was. We all suffered them in the late 90ās / early y2kās and it sucked b@lls generally. Nothings changed.
gutless...
I could not agree more w this. A tan top ffs. How hard is it?
itās not an open top jeep without a tan top option.
And yeah how about some periodic factory retro / look back packages?
itās so obviously only idiots would missthe opportunity.
Just have a look at retro Nike sneakers!!!
i get this comment. Not silly.
Doubt Stella Biggest Cheese will sell, itās the valuable part.
to your point, it should be in largely American management team hands. They understand the product.
Jeep is a international. So itās good to have some variety in management team. But should be mostly...
When I drove it, it felt like it had just enough grunt to haul itself. But not more. Itās the wrong engine for the truck. If it was a 4.2L pentastar then spot on. But they never did that engine. Sadly.
Wha
What are the specific issues getting flagged wrt Hurricane six shooter?
i like 2.0L to. But for wrangler. Not Gladiator.
I still want Hurricane, they need to dial the issues out. Itās the hero motor of this era
If itās got some issues, then they have to dial it out so theyāre dealing...
