I'd be furious but I'd also have to respect such a long term burn.

So the pre-launch e-mail was sent out by Jeep on 4/1, so I guess this is just a really bad April Fools Joke!

EDIT: Looks like @bangolia was thinking the same thing. ;)

Hi Everyone,

We’re all excited for the Jeep® Gladiator launch and do apologize for any delay. If you have not received the email about the 24 hour presale and you were supposed to, please send us a private message with your contact information and preferential color and the concierge will contact you shortly.

Regardless of GladiatorGate2019, real question based on early information . . . If you order launch Crystal Granite are you committing to wait until August production run when they start making that color, or is that color now actually available and you will get JT in normal time frame? Id hate to order a launch and not get one of the first JTs instead watching everyone else drive one off the lot in June.

The JeepCares account is 100% legit. I’m looking into the advanced pre-ordering email some received and will report back if I can get a definitive answer. JeepCares has several reps managing the account so the name of the person posting/responding to PMs may be different on any given day.

I received another email on 3/27 from this address. It seemed to be solely informational.

This is weird because I thought I read that we would be able to order on the 3rd from the YouTube video description and link. Oh well this is just stupid :) I took today off of work because we had to be up at 3am to make the pre order because Hawaii time zone difference. But I guess I will get up and go to work and do it all over tomorrow

This fraud email story is Jeep covering their but because they did not have communication/systems in place and ready for today.
Just my opinion.

Thanks for checking into it; not trying to come off as accusatory! I was concerned about the name change though because the post initially had Lydia, but then the same post was edited to Darlene.

I think we're all hoping for the same goal of pre-orders, but don't want to be bamboozled.
