I never said China owned Jeep. But China makes 77% of the batteries that go into electric vehicles. I make an effort not to support China, like our current administration does. I do not agree. In comparison, the U.S only makes 6% of the batteries.

If I didn't love my JTRD so much... based on all of the above, I would give Jeep the middle finger ?JAY said:

I understand that we have to start somewhere... but to sell out an American made vehicle to China and a current group of people running American right now is just ass backwards. The fallout of pollution and the damage to the earth from these batteries are far worse than diesel ever could be.... don't get me started on the infrastructure... and what about the recalls to the customer base that has provided them with thier current piggy bank to support these stupid ideas.... I really have mixed feelings about this... definitely not happy... gotta think, how long will Jeep continue to support us diesel owners ? I think they are shooting themselves in the foot and I hope it hurts and gets infected.
Yeah you inferred it here Don't see anything here about Batteries. Clearer writing maybe we would have gotten that.

Did anyone else notice with certain options selected a grey dash with two tone doors is shown? Not sure if it is really a thing or not. Varying other options change the dash and/or door colors to black.

I was excited about this FAROUT edition but looking through the build and I can’t figure out what is special about it. Is the 4wd system confirmed to be different than on the Rubicon EcoDiesel? Looks like you cannot spec:
1. front trail cam
2. LED front head lamps
3. Leather seats w/deviated stitching (red)
the only thing I can see that you CAN spec on the FarOut not offered on the Rubicon EcoDiesel is the trailer braking…might be able to be retrofitted on the Rubicon but probably not given the stupidity of multiple wiring harnesses systems for each trim/option chosen. Some clarification from those that know would be greatly appreciated. I was able to pickup my ‘23 Rubicon Diesel for $60k fully loaded except trail cam and if I can figure out what is different I might make the plunge to get the latest and greatest.
the dealer srewed up and sold it to me in May and I’ve been driving the crap out of it and it’s been absolutely awesome thus far after 10k miles. Love the engine…great in every environment (hwy & trail) with amazing mpg.

Has anyone taken delivery of a Far Out edition yet? When I ordered, the trailer brake was not an option. I see that it is now if you build one on the Jeep site. Has anyone found out if the Far Out can still be ordered? Press release said deadline was end of Sept.

I'm aware that it can be added, along with Redarc and a few others...when I was ordering, and going down through the list of options, it was not one of them back in Aug. Now it is. What else is different? Just curious now.
