Does anybody know if eTorque Hemis are still not a build option? I know that at some point they were restricted, supposedly due to "supplier issues" or something like that. All the new trucks rolling onto dealer lots seem to be the regular Hemis.
If new Hemi eTorques are still not being built, could it be at this point that the "supplier issues" are really design flaws in the system? We have had a few reports recently of the eTorque battery packs needing to be completely replaced. Could it be the battery packs are the issue holding everything up?
I also find it curious that Ram would suddenly offer a $500 eTorque rebate. Is this because the eTorque is not selling? Or because they want to get them off the lots and into customers hands before everybody figures out the systems have issues and nobody will purchase them? You would think if eTorque trucks were in short supply they wouldn't need a rebate, unless they are indeed not seling...
I was just about to pull the trigger on a new eTorque truck due to the additional $500 rebate but then I read more threads about batteries failing, and it made me really start to wonder what's up.
Tin-foil hats on, and GO!
