I know you can still turn off ESS with either engine but but I'd rather replace just a starter or alternator than a 48v electric motor or 48v battery (which is mounted underneath the body) or coolant lines or coolant tank.....Job 1 for MY20 is slated for July 22nd,with last '19 build out scheduled for July 20th. Job 1 means that's the date they begin building the first unit.If the last built '19 JL will be on the 20th, order banks for the '20s might open before June starts,making it impossible to order a '19 at that point.
Incidentally, if you're that late in the MY,why not wait for the '20s? Afraid of the BSG? In my opinion, if we're going to be forced to have ESS, you may as well get it with the BSG, as all of the internals are upgraded for the frequent starts. The external added battery really isn't that big of a deal, and the BSG gives you an extra 75-90 lb-ft of torque off the line. No real downside, despite what the haters say...
