Still nothing for me from the Seattle, WA area. Reserved Mar 9, 2023 and pre-order placed June 5, 2023.

Mine says in production as well - but I'm not sure I believe that as yet Screenshot 2023-09-20 at 12.59.14 PM.png

Got bored and decided to do a bit of digging for us Colorado folks:

Link throws a 404 error, so probably waiting till September 28th to make it public. I know we all knew it was going to be Red Nolan, but wanted to dig around now that my vehicle is "In Production"

On the east side of the state and no in production note on my pre-order the last time I checked, but I'm unable to get into my account as of right now.

Thanks for digging this up! I live in Denver and haven't had any experience at all with any Red Noland dealerships - are you familiar with them? Think they'll be good/easy to work with? Think they'll try to tack on some stupid dealer markup?

I have a hard time understanding how they are in production, but none of us have an actual dealer contact and nobody has asked me for more money to build it yet.

They won’t ask you for money to build. Different model than the EU. They’ll make it, ship it and then you’ll buy it from the dealer. Hopefully with out a crazy mark-up.

Yep, but assumed, like the other cars I have special ordered, the dealer would want a little money up front to hit the go button.

I guess a dealer could do pretty much anything they want. But that isn’t the plan. I am interested in seeing what kind of outreach I get. Supposedly test drive vehicles are in the US. I guess more for people to pre-order outside of the initial sign-up we had. It would be nice to drive one on the road, out of low gear before I bought it…

I haven't even seen one in real life yet, let alone driven one!

I'm getting thr same thing as you but I also still show I don't have a preorder despite the email that gives me my Q12024 build date.

We know that money will be handed to the dealer and that was the deposit to be first in line.

I forget that some people couldn’t make the test drives…

Preorder #9637. No update for me. I see preorder numbers before and after mine with “In production” illuminated. However, the change that I do see is under the Finance area. It used to have Tri-State listed with the Ineos customer service number. Now it says, “when we announce our dealer network later in 2023, your retail partner will be able to tell you more.”

Yep, going into this one blind, will be interested to see what the test drive opportunities are going to be in Seattle. Friends in Boise as well, so maybe a quick weekend down there for a test drive.

The deposit money will be refunded (which really was an intent to purchase, for NA customers) and the dealer will take over the order when they are announced. At least that’s how I understand it to be.

I believe you are correct but I also think that Ineos used it as a bargaining chip for dealers.

@Boise will be a contact at that dealership in Idaho. I don’t know him personally but he has been nothing but helpful with questions that I have had on here.

I really thought we would have to put some cash down with the dealer once all commitments are made, but I guess we are all in uncharted territory with this one.
