I am at Curry now, I just did a test drive (I was the first one!). The thing is a a beast, very nice to drive, solid truck. The steering on the road is splashy, will take some time to get used to. But Mike Hanley is very nice and welcoming, they are excited for this vehicle. One piece of info he did pass on is that the contrasting roof trucks will apparently be delayed by about a month. They have 421 orders.

Thanks for the recon work and reporting to us. The intel on the contrast roof could be the reason for my delay. I actually sent off another email today because I still didn’t get a follow up. Mike Hanley responded. Shared my VIN with me but admitted that they have limited insight into out builds. Hopes to be able to share more with me next week.

I own a LR Disco 2 with a lift and larger all terrain tires. I would describe the steering as “floating” or delayed. Perhaps that is what you mean by “splashy”? Or do mean that you hit every puddle you saw on this rainy day?

Yes, the steering is looser and required more rotations than the cars I am used to and is not self centering. I am not used to driving gas cars I own a Rivian and Tesla, haven’t had a gas car for 8 years….but I absolutely loved the Gren, they nailed it

What’s the deal with the black roof? Did they say why that would delay orders? I have a black roof and they told me yesterday they expect my rig here late November or early December. Going to Curry tomorrow to take a ride on tarmac. It handles off road very well, but def felt like it took a lot of effort on the wheel.

Mike said the black and white roof trucks, along with the red and gray frames were having issues and likely a bit delayed in arriving. He also said the trucks would arrive in Baltimore port. (I thought it would be Newark). He had just got limited access to the Ineos database when I arrived, he saw a delivery date for mine (I have a white roof) and then the date was not there when he looking again. He expects to have more info on Monday.

Test drove the fieldmaster there today. Handled great, plenty of power. Turn radius was about 3 lanes total. Steering was fine, mostly noticed the extra required attention when turning at least 90 degrees. Can’t wait to get mine.

Did this build have the tinted windows? The cargo side window looks tinted the the rest not?

Haven’t gone for test drive and I probably won’t until I hear more from them about timeline for my build.
Did anyone confirm their build sheets with Curry IG?

I confirmed mine. It’s missing the upgraded stereo. Everything else was correct. The MSRP also reflected a deduct of $700 for the stereo. So I guess I will go aftermarket for that. I wonder if anyone else has seen the same issue?

I guess you did a SW build?

That said, I think you'll be ok as we haven't gotten any real information on what's different other than the addition of a sub. And if that's all it is, you'll easily save money going aftermarket. I have a TM on order so no upgrade for me from the factory, but I hope to improve the system once we have a better understanding of what's out there. I'm sure that at the very least swapping out the stock speakers for something up-market will be an easy way to improve things.

I didn’t feel Like I needed the second battery. And if so I could add later. But honestly I think I’d rather select my own amp/sub anyway.

I’m glad that the Curry crew here has had some positive interactions with them. @SandyChamois What action triggered the refund?
Every contact I’ve had with them (phone or email) was initiated by me. Now waiting for a follow up to confirm build sheet and estimated delivery window.
