Ah thank you!! Glad to know that the fine print is lagging behind and shouldn't be an issue.

Has anyone successfully used any form of FCA Affiliate membership to purchase a 2019 model year vehicle? I was reading through the program rules and found this paragraph: "Eligible participants (as defined in the Customer Eligibility section below) can purchase or lease up to two (2) FCA US...

Just got that email about 3 hours ago.

Might be wishful thinking, but even though the cold weather group is not specifically listed as a package on the JTLE, the picture that shows the silver interior on the Launch Edition page looks like it has the button for the heated steering wheel--but the heated seat is the only thing...

Seriously man, no harm no foul! As a personal rule, I generally avoid the “as a veteran card”. I mostly see it as a cop out to make others who may not have been in the military feel as though their position doesn’t matter, which is far from reality considering what the intent of the military is...

I’m well aware of the Military’s protection to our nation as I’ve only been back to being a “civilian” for 6 months now. That may be part of the reason this discussion regarding titles and proper terms of address compelled me to comment. For one, OP and @LeadUtensil (as he pointed out) are...

The friendliness seemed to be negated with the inclusion of “You need to stop posting.” I also believe there are proper terms of address for sitting Senators, Department Secretaries, and other government officials. But the President has already set the example for ignorance of these titles as...

He’s entitled to post whatever he wants. This is an Internet forum.

Who are you talking to? I’ve been in contact with Baxter on W. Dodge, but they haven’t really gotten info either.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think anyone involved didn’t know they were talking about dealer stock arriving to be sold—you’re right about the intent. For the sake of late night internet sport, I thought I’d bring up a technicality. I think you saw that I was skeptical about the government...

Understood. Did you happen to ask if the demo unit he received was one of the demo units that came off of the production line last week? Edit: Honestly man, I’m not trying to argue at this point. Just trying to understand why info from JL-Engineline isn’t as trustworthy as the upstanding dealer...

Wait... sales manager in Hawaii who picked up the phone at a dealership, after the one thing we all have in common is knowing the dealerships have no clue what’s going on = trustworthy, factual, solid intel. Dude on this site that literally works on the very thing you can’t wait to get your...

You were right the whole time. FCA cancelled the 7k Gov’t order and sent that surplus to dealers? They must have been busy since starting the production line last week. Or do you mean the ones that came off the production line last week went to the dealers instead of the Gov’t?

Let’s not mince words. Neither one of you mentioned anything about the Jeeps being produced “to be sold”. It was also stated by FCA (albeit after the fact) that the trucks that rolled off the line are in fact demo units; strangely enough, you confirmed the truck that showed up in Hawaii was a...

@JL-Engineline , he gets his when he gets his. Appearently he’s got the inside knowledge the rest of us couldn’t comprehend. @Troybilt Maybe we can send you our order info the day the dealers let us place them so we can get a better understanding of how Jeep’s logistics operation is set up and...

No.

A new conspiracy theory that doesn’t have to do with the Government... Hear me out. @JL-Engineline is actually Mark Allen, and has been the whole time. The JL forum activity was just to throw us off for when he knew the JT could be the real troll. Just sayin! In all seriousness Mark, thanks...

Fastest FOIA response on record. Must have been machine learning to figure out the right agency to send itself to and then halt the order! The JT gods were on our side the whole time.

Surprisingly, we actually have established rules that allow us to do procurement actions like this already. Not to stir the pot too much, since this scenario doesn’t match up with what I'll explain later (7,000 JTs at ~$30,000), but there are many sole source contracts that can occur without...

Work has been crazy, but I’ve been checking in here for news every once and a while—it’s gotten much more interesting in the last few days. Anyways, I recall there was a post about general interest for the JT and how many people planned on purchasing. Now that we’re closer to the moment of...
