Just talked to chat again. I'm at 34 days in D status with no movement. They said at 45 days they can escalate the issue to either try to get answers or try to get it built and told me to bug them again a week from tomorrow. If it hasn't moved by then I'll probably have cancelled and begun...
Can't imagine it would have much if any impact. FCA didn't like what it was seeing from the French government and chose to back out. Jeep remains the crown jewel of the FCA portfolio. I have plenty of hate for FCA but they gave us the Gladiator when Daimler spent years without offering a Jeep...
Man if I had changed my color to get it faster and it still took forever I'd be furious. I mean I am antsy for mine already but that's next level frustrating.
If my white Rubi order spends much longer in D I'm likely to cancel and reorder after Sting Gray becomes available.
Not really comparable though. That was built on the JK platform as a preview of the Wrangler. It had two doors and an inline 4 cylinder engine. Completely different vehicle. Jeep never intended to build that truck and they certainly didn't need it to boost struggling sales or help with anemic...
Whether Elon is in it for the money is irrelevant. Tesla is a publicly traded company. The board answers to shareholders. THEY care about their investment and Elon serves at their pleasure. I really do hope for nothing but success for Tesla and was sad to see the declining sales. Hopefully they...
Is that you, Elon?
Kidding aside, I have nothing but support to offer. We all saw the painfully slow rollout of the Model 3 and the delayed availability of the $35K model that was supposed to be the big seller. They haven't really proven they can make money. That's kind of important to a...
Every headline about the company.
I'm a believer, but they seem to ignore legitimate concerns from the market. No complaints about my Boring Company Not A Flamethrower though.
I just don't like being in limbo. I like working on my Jeep but have no desire to do anything with my soon to be sold JK. Registration is due next month too. I ordered out of state so I don't want to wait and trade in when I've driven to another state and suddenly I'm desperate because I can't...
I have more options than him so I do suspect one of them is to blame for my lack of movement. Options I ordered that he didn't:
Front camera
Cold weather group
Active safety group
Adaptive cruise control
AUX Switches
MT tires
Remote proximity keyless entry
Could be any of those or maybe none...
I'll believe it when I see it. They may not even be in business by the time it's supposed to hit the market. Wouldn't be surprised at all if a bigger OEM buys them out.
I do think my Gladiator will be the last gas vehicle I buy, but battery tech needs to advance a lot before I'm buying an...
My brother got his build sheet today. He's got a non-LE Rubicon with spray-in bedliner. I ordered same day from the same dealer and I'm still in D this morning.
