#Off-roadConcepts

Jeep's Best New Concept Vehicle for the Easter Safari is a 1993 Grand Cherokee

For over half a century, Jeep has held an annual safari in Moab, Utah, where 4×4 enthusiasts come to tackle the rough terrain in all manner of off-road vehicles. It’s also become an opportunity for Jeep to showcase its modern concept vehicles.

While Jeep has in past years leveraged nostalgia as a theme for its based-on-current-model concepts, the crème de la crème from this year wasn’t even from the current millennium and comes to us — via Craigslist — in the form of a 1993 ZJ Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Kjhkjlhkjhkljh kljhjkhjklhkjh since most EVs are north of 70k specc'ed out + charger installation this is not news. You don't buy a new car every few years.This is simply saturation and terrible horrible third world country level grid infrastructure (thanks greedy exces like at the holiday farm fire where I live)
MaintenanceCosts I think pretty much all of the difference between this year and last year is that the right-wing noise machine, facing an audience crisis, has decided that EVs, and wildly distorted claims about EVs and EV mandates, are a good way to to get gullible people angry and start replacing lost traffic.
MaintenanceCosts I'd like to see a comparison between this and the base Model S, which should have similar performance numbers.I spent five days and 500 miles with a base 2022 Model S in Texas last week, and enjoyed it far more than my previous Model 3 drives - I think the Model S is a very good to excellent car, although "FSD" is a huge fail and I'd still have a lot of trouble giving Elon Musk money.
DesertNative In hindsight, it's fascinating to see how much annual re-styling American cars received in the 1950's. Of course, that's before they had to direct their resources to other things like crash-worthiness, passenger safety, pollution controls, etc. It was a heady time for car designers, but the rest of us have benefited immeasurably from the subsequent changes.
Cprescott Aside for how long it takes to charge golf carts since I don't live in a place where I can have my own charger, is the game that golf cart makers play when your battery fails and they blame you and charge you $15-25k to replace them.
