Is it electric?

If you are confused as to whether the Grenadier is electric, you are probably driving an electric vehicle. If you are driving an electric vehicle ordering an Ineos you have lost your marbles.

Why do people keep asking me that? Does it look electric? I've had now 7 people ask me about the Gren and 6 of them asked, "Is it electric?" Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

We could probably start an entire thread on things we've heard people say about it or call it.

I remember a similar thread for the Hummer. It floats was the funniest.

Also how much is it? Which was kind of rude but the reply was about $ 12.00 per pound.



My son overheard someone say it was a Gelandewagen and another said no it wasn't.

Chap in my local petrol station tried to tell me that it’s ’just a jeep wrangler with a different body’.

An Electric vehicle is a car, not for off road use, truck use or anything other then daily commuting. An Electric cars purpose and design are so far off from a gas guzzling off road vehicle, it is hard to imagine many owning both. I could see someone owning a cross over street car and an electric vehicle, but not a Grenadier.

A petrol station ️ employee in North Scotland knew what a jeep wrangler is? ? Had he just moved up from the sticks?

Not at all practical here are some reasons;

1. No true 4wd, but AWD gimics
2. No true locking diffs
3. All plastic, touch one rock and you might have 20K in damage
4. tires, not going to have any, 33s lol
5. Too heavy, constricts climbing ability. ( even happens on the PW)
6. Absolutely no way to keep from breaking stuff. The Rivian snaps like a twig off road. And the problem is, even if you wanted it to be good off road, with that weight and the current electric architectures its not possible to engineer the vehicle to survive. Also imagine dealing with that torque!!
7. O suspension travel
8. No ability to upgrade. Are you going to add a winch, steel bumpers, sliders, armor
9. Any dent to the battery shield is a total loss. You spend the entire day scraping over rocks!
10. How exactly do you charge those giant batteries overlanding?

I could add tons more, but that is a start.

I can only imagine any electric off-roader will not do well For most ”off-roady” treks. Unless of course you bring a large diesel generator with you. There are no charging stations anywhere off-road. Even a Tesla supercharger takes upwards of an hour to charge a battery close to 90%. I can only imagine how long it would take to get a 20% charge on a Rivian using solar panels…

I'm waiting for the first Grenadier to show up at the dump - oh sorry Transfer Station. So far we have Rivians and one G-Wagon. One friend had the gall to tell me Grenadier looked like a Hummer. Cringe.

So, that begs the question. If Doctor Who had to get a car, what would it be?
