Just fuel for the fire. I got this email from my soon to be local dealer.

Good afternoon everyone

We received notice that we will be receiving one Gladiator with in the next couple weeks. It doesn’t seem like much but it means that the shipments have commenced and it will give us a look at the prices. We were informed we will have no control over the first large shipment: we get what we get. The shipments after that will be up to the individual dealerships.

I will send out notification once we have an expected delivery date and when the prices are released. Feel free to call/ text me directly if you have any questions between now and the arrival of the Gladiators!

maybe they're getting THEE first one?

Some cool pics taken today

WAIT A MINUTE HERE! This JT is speced very similar to the one Dave Smith has a computer rendering of that they are giving away. They claimed that it would be one of the very first JTs. Could they be actually telling the truth?

Interesting... if that’s true, than that’s just dealer stock. Not from an order...

Which makes me think about this first production gladiator also - clearly those are not customer orders being fulfilled.

It can't possibly be from a customer order, because they aren't yet taking orders.

They will indeed stockpile some stock before shipping to dealers, and the initial allocation will be as spec'd by FCA.

Since the order banks are not open yet that would be a correct assumption

Dang robots are amazing.... wonder how much time would be added without them

this was making me think about the statistic i heard last week. Somthing like within 20 years 50% of jobs will be eliminated with AI and automation.

Then i was thinking.....what would AI dream up as the most efficient way to produce cars and what order to put them together in, ect. it'll be so weird when robots design robots. Then Skynet will destroy us all.

lol, hate to burst your bubble, but Smith has a soft top with no tonneau, the factory one has a hardtop and tonneau.

Spec'ed similar, because its a silver/gray Gladiator Rubicon? lol jk

Customer order doesn't mean the same on a wholesale level as it does on a retail level. For the Jeep factory the dealers are their customers. For the retail outlet the end user is the customer.

Totally. In this case I, and others I think, mean “we” as there customer, the end-user or end-driver... lol

I hadn't seen that video before and it is pretty sweet. Those people in the video are 10 times tougher than I am. I may have a small bit of ADD and there is no way I could do their job on a long term basis, i'd literally go crazy!
