Yes.. it comes down to what you use your car for and what you need. For what I use my car for - I can see the appeal of having a bucket load of torque. This is not me but a mate last week.
You know.. if I were Ineos.. I don't think I'd be rushing to give cars out to the press "unsupervised" until all the little niggles were sorted. Or at least most of them. At the very least you wouldn't want any warning lights etc coming on.
Give the Grenadier to the press. All the other brands have had their failures and problems scrutinized in the printed and electronic press and social media. Ineos should show confidence in its product and deal with some critical analysis, it may speed up their response and handling of customer complaints. It would be interesting to see the Hydrogen Grenadier on Munro Live for an in depth review.
They did give one to Scott from Expedition Portal to drive across Africa
The problem with the 6 cylinder Cummins is weight, @ 500kgs it would be impractical to put it into a GrenadierI'd take a bigger inline six for sure. Did I mention the Cummins?
Yeah, but what do you really think?
The problem is that YouTubers are not "the press" or "Journalists" who have to abide by a code of ethics or risk legal action.
Unfortunately the code is a guide or code of ethics and not enforceable or "punishable" other than via litigation.
He did point out the footwell "issue" initially which may have hurt his chances of further engagement with IA. I do think he's relevant as apart from his "diatribe pieces" to camera he produces some great content, this is evident by his YT following.
The thing is loaning out one car is possible. You can make sure it's a real good one.
I think IA are being very smart who they loan to, they are about to start shipping to the US so it makes sense to give one to Scott as his reach is considerable in the US market and he has a good reputation.
Yes but he sat in a stationary vehicle and reported the foot rest issue that about 30 other people had before.
I think from memory it was the amount of fuss he made about the hump rather than just pointing it out or mentioning it in passing
Robert handled it well. "It will be up to the individual to determine if it's acceptable"I think from memory it was the amount of fuss he made about the hump rather than just pointing it out or mentioning it in passing
I have struggled to like the last couple of pieces that Robert Pepper has done on the Grenadier because he has done nothing to reinforce my confirmation bias as an early adopter and risk taker. How dare he be balanced and unbiased. That's not what I want to see
Exactly and as we have seen on here some people have a problem with it and some don't.
Objective as always

Didn't realise that there was a code of ethics for Australian journalists. With some of the stories currently coming from journalists and media outlets it makes you wonder if they have any ethics or morals at all. Robert Pepper may be one of the few exceptions.
