I really hope they don't whistle like a beer bottle.

However, If they have a beer bottle opening function, I'm stoked!
LOL like the bottle opener on the Crew Chief Concept:

Yea they should incorporate a bottle opener in the design of the Wrangler and Scrambler. That would be a cool just for fun feature.

The mesh on the vents should mute any whistleing by disturbing the air as it comes out, but you're likely to get a dull hiss from them, just not sure if that would add or reduce the noise of them already spilling-over/scooping into the wind.

As for the bottle opener, the Wrangler already comes with 3/5 of them at all potential storage access points.
(this video shows an already loosened bottle to make it easier for the Ytuber to film, but you get the point);

Like any new product, the closer you get to launch the more external people and low-ranking functionaries need to be given a peak behind the curtain to provide products near launch, so more likely to get more leaks the more people see it and the less their role was involved in developing it.

Providing 3D models to 3rd party vendors for suspension or after market bits means you've got Billy the Intern at one of the lift providers Rancho/Xtreme/RoughCountry/MetalCloak, etc. who now has access to the pics/models/etc. whereas this time last year even the owners ofmthese companies likely didn't have more than a rough idea of what was coming.
