I don't know the ins and outs of shipping but if the key is left in the vehicle and it's not in ship mode some vehicle modules won't go to sleep and will drain the batteries. In addition, vehicles sit in storage lots untill they're shipped to dealers as they wait for a full load at time. They don't pop out of the factory and head straight to the dealers. Sometimes they're shipped by train, then truck. There can be delays along the way.May well be, but I'd hope that the batteries would hold up longer than the short time they'd sit on transport. Once unloaded, they would normally be moved around every so often - at least they are here. But then some dealers are so big that some may sit for 2 or 3 months un-started.
OTOH -
If my JT can't sit for 4-6 weeks without draining the battery, I won't be very happy.
