It’s just a dumb mindset to continue to have.
Also surveillance powered by the same solar panels.

Neat stuff, but I wonder if the electrical gremlins that Jeeps have will transfer when they tether together?
In all seriousness, probably half those things won't happen or stay around very long. Jeep drone is cool till it get's stuck in a tree or taken out by an eagle. BUT somebody has to start dreaming stuff up to make our toys better, then LET THE COMPETITION BEGIN! end result will only be good for us.

I feel like a regular third party drone would probably work better. They're likely going to be buying drones from an established manufacturer, slapping a Jeep logo on it, and charging twice as much for it.
There are already great drones available with autopilot that will follow you around filming you driving a trail.

Nope. Just waiting for the Bronco I reserved on July 14, 2020, ordered in January 2021 and re-ordered October 2021 to be built.
But yes, I do read the Jeep forum as well, and am blown away by these folks placing orders, getting scheduled, and picking up their rigs. It appears to be a successful business model.

I do have to say it would be pretty badass if my vehicle would pick me up on the other side of a through hike or at the bottom of a multi day bike ride.. Never even thought about that till I watched that video. I couldn't give a damn about most of the other stuff.

Lol Ford as a whole is littered with quality issues and recalls right now. Acting like Ford is the beacon of vehicle quality is funny.
As for the Bronco and Wrangler that I wasn’t even talking about. Better? Says who? You? Lol. That’s not biased at all! Why don’t you let J.D. power do their reliability studies on the Bronco before you hand out anymore of your unbiased comments.

They’ll be there. Jeep has a vested interest in making sure they continue the lifestyle they’ve created with the Jeep brand. They’ll be Solar, some will be electric. If they get forced to building electric only vehicles they’ll invest in the infrastructure because nobody will buy their vehicles without it.
Reserved the Bronco on 8/17/20 for the wife. Reserved a 2nd Bronco on 10/1/20 for the Granger deal. Early to mid 2021 I drove a 4 door big bend and loved it so I placed 2 different orders for both of us. I waited a few months and gave up and said screw it. Traded in my Challenger, ordered a Mojave Gladiator on 8/17/21, strangely on the same day I reserved the Bronco, realized that a few days later. It was delivered to the dealer on 9/18 and I got my 8% off before everything sky rocketed in price too. My truck is now 58K, 4K more than it was a year ago.
1 year to the day I ordered the Bronco I ordered the Jeep and I’ve almost been driving my Jeep for an entire year already. Glad I didn’t wait, I have no allegiance to any of these companies but at least Jeep was organized. Especially knowing what I know now and how bad this process has gotten, I would have lost out on the deal I got big time.

Going off road autonomously might be the scariest thing I could think of. To be so comfortable that you could recline completely and let the computer do its thing is bonkers. Also, I've never been a fan of being a passenger while off road. It just seems a 100x bumpier and having zero control is not for me.

As I await my Bronco Badlands 2 door 7MT, I placed a Rubicon order on 7/11/22. Just received notice it's been scheduled for production as of 7/29/22.
I expect I'll enter the fall taking deliver of the Rubicon, and re-re-ordering my Day 2 reservation Bronco as a 2023 model.

One thing is for sure. The Bronco has changed the 4x4 industry for the better. Why fix something that isn't broken? Because it could be so much more.
Imagine a 4x4 with a built in RTT, or built in air compressor for your inflatable raft (and tires that deflate and inflate on command). There is no innovation without competition. Just look at Samsung vs iPhone. Without each other, we'd still be at iPhone 3, only that we'd call it an iPhone 15 (although it hasn't changed much since iPhone7).

I appreciate marketing and selling the dream. Isn't that all that marketing in this segment does anyway?
Still very excited about our BRaptor order that should be built next week. Sure has been a while since 7/14/20. Hardly even feels real! You know what is real? We presently have 3k miles on our 392XR and love it more and more every day. Sky One Touch + that exhaust + 35’s is a blast.
I don’t care about brands or big companies, I care about driving experiences. Life’s too short to love something that won’t love you back. Companies and brands don’t love you.
