I hear it comes with a 25-mile long electrical cord. If you wanna go further, you got to burn some fossils.

the good, bad and ugly if any on the 4xe. As well as how to care for the skytop.

it does. so you can drive 50 miles and not burn a drop of gas. lol

Touché! That’d be a 12.5-mile cord, then.

All’s I know is it runs 25 miles on a charge. TFL has a video on it: they got 27 miles in realistic suburban driving.

They also got 3.5 miles on a charge...off-roading...

I don’t see any specific lube recommendations,
Page 447 of the manual:
Washing – Use Mopar® Car Wash or
equivalent, or mild soap suds, lukewarm water,
and a brush with soft bristles. If extra cleaning
is required, use Mopar® Convertible Cloth Top
Cleaner or equivalent, or a mild foaming cleaner
on the entire top, but support the top from
underneath.
Rinsing – Be sure to remove all traces of
cleaner by rinsing the top thoroughly with clean
water. Remember to allow the top to dry before
lowering it.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions may cause
interior water damage, stains, or mildew of
the top material:
 Do not run a fabric top through an auto-
matic car wash. Window scratches and wax
build-up may result.
 It is recommended that the top be free of
water prior to opening it. Operating the top,
opening a door or lowering a window while
the top is wet may allow water to drip into
the vehicle’s interior.

Good - Its 1” taller than a standard rubicon, comes with a $7500 coupon for your taxes, and has 200 more ft lbs of torque than the gassers (other than the 392)
Bad - it’s heavier than an ICE rub, only Mopar and Rock Krawler have a specific lift out so far. The Mopar 2” lift only gives you an 1”
Ugly - The sky one touch is not easily removable and the rear window stays in place naked.
