JL production line... a fun watch

So... 2 things.

1. They can program all of those precision robots, but they can't tell me the status of the build? I think it's more likely that it's not economically advantageous.

2. That rain test tunnel... is for appearances only.

Thanks Tom,

Nice catch. I checked that same site about 2-3 hours ago and the numbers were not posted yet. Looks like some folks are going to have a nice Christmas.

So I suspect even with all the mods, I should still see over 20.

What status is yours in?
Last I checked they said they had all the material fixing to start production. Dealer said it was supposed to ship last week. Now he says the 8th. As you can tell I don’t think anyone knows.

Oh this hurts. The $6500 add on is rough but understandable, I've been telling myself not to replace my 3.6 with the diesel I originally wanted 2 years ago because the mpg will probably be unimpressive. I'm assuming subtract 4-5mpg with all the steel stuff on the Rubi. I'm getting 10.5mpg in the city on my 38s and no gearing right now. But I'm getting to the modding point where it's a much bigger decision to switch..

I was hoping the mpg would suck and it'd be an easy decision :headbang:

edit: Apparently its only $4k.. im behind. crap.
Diesels don’t take that kind of mpg hit for weight and tires. The media testing of the JLUR 3.0s was still showing mpg’s in the ballpark of the EPA numbers...the presence of which this morning is a Christmas miracle of the first order!

What options did you get? Maybe an option Item is holding up the early JLUD orders.
The only thing that I would bet might be different than most orders is I have the Saddle brown interior

Anyone at D1, or further, have steel bumpers or perforated seats? (Just wondering what is not available.)
