Just ordered a new car yesterday as a daily driver. Bought the XC90. will take delivery in April (i picked the delivery date). Going to do the european delivery and meet some family on a roadtrip.

Do you think Ineos will ever have factory delivery like Porsche and Mercedes? That would be an great vacation if you could.

Speaking of importing, in the early days Ineos said they would be starting a european delivery program for Americans (pay for the vehicle, pick it up in Europe and drive it around then drop off to a European Ineos designated spot and the vehicle will be shipped back to you c/o a dealer in the...

It does support both versions. Ordered one ahead of my grenadier delivery and quality looks great: https://bison-gear.com/img/cms/instructions/SH-INEOS-GRNDR%20instructions.pdf

I picked up my Trialmaster this week, and like so many, have initial reactions to many elements of the vehicle. Let me begin by saying I am often a new adopter of a vehicle/model and have experience with being in that guinea pig category. I currently have a Rivian R1T Launch Edition and sold a...

Getting the cart waaaaaay in front of the horse, but by the time North America sales start do you think there will be a European delivery option?  I don't think I've seen any mention of being able to 'pick it up from the factory', or did I miss it? Just thinking out loud. (That's what it's...

I am very interested in how the promised European delivery program will work. With Volvo, it was pretty separate from the Dealer.

That will be somewhat down the line, they openly stated it wouldn't be for the initial run of MY24 vehicles (reservation holders and early non-reservation pre-orders). If I had to guess, I would say that European delivery will be available for MY26 and onward

Will NA buyers be able to do European delivery something like the way Volvo does it: pick up a US spec vehicle at factory (France for Ineos?) The price included tourist registration and insurance, you drive it around for up to a number of months, and return it to Volvo (their system had...

Just ask your agent to charge the battery before delivery.

The website says they have a European warehouse and ship to all European countries. As for getting it in the US, I like the ship to hotel plan. For backup, if you can't find someone who will host it for you, sign up for a UPS MyChoice account. You can change delivery address while a package...

I'm going to be asking about european delivery at the drive event because I'd like nothing better than spending two or three months driving around Europe before having it shipped home. Given the hiccups and management turnover before launch I have to think that the Ineos promise of european...

I bought two Volvo wagons European delivery. Price, including shipping back and insurance+registration while in Europe and an included air ticket to Sweden it was ~ 10% less expensive than buying from a US dealer in the US. I wonder with the much stricter carbon emission regulations in Europe...

At 10pm?? 🤣

By the time they land Stateside I would think most of the issues and bugs will have either been sorted or they will have fixes ready to go for the dealers to implement prior to delivery. There will be less wailing and gnashing of teeth than when the European early adopters first got theirs.

Not much new here. No current plans for auxiliary gas tank. European delivery but not at launch. Otherwise, tune in again in Q2.

Short answer is yes, it's on their list. There's more discussion around it in a number of threads: https://www.theineosforum.com/search/6900/?q=European+delivery&o=relevance

I would expect some lucky person SOMEWHER in the European sphere to take delivery in 7.5hrs!!!

I'm totally with you on this issue. I have worked in consumer products for decades, and this is the single stupidest implementation of a feature that I've personally seen. Absolutely crazy that someone thought this would be ok. Especially, since it has so many false alarms (wrong speed limit)...

It’s been fun to dream about trim level and accessories without any costs to get in the way of reality. I assume the price will be higher than we want yet competitive with similar manufacturers. I agree with Milehigh that Ineos will be challenged to fulfill European orders and then change the...

Yeah my dealer said Ineos/the dealerships are using the delivery of the demos as a bit of a logistics test to find out from departure to dealership timelines.

He has dibs on my Bronco, but he'll step up to the Grenadier once I figure out how to get european delivery of the pickup version. I'm sure he won't get out of line because he knows I can always make another son.

Per an Ineos rep at the DC drive event, the Hambach factory will shut down in July to change the assembly line to manufacture NA vehicles. If that timeline holds, it's feasible that they will deliver some NA vehicles before year end.

I bought two Volvo wagons through their European delivery program. The price was lower than MSRP and included a round trip air ticket to Sweden, one night in a hotel in Gothenburg where the factory is, tourist auto registration and insurance, and shipping the vehicle to the USA. I bought...

That will depend on what you consider similar manufacturers.

Completely agree with your thoughts here. I didn't have a rushed delivery like you did but I had a first delivery. We were learning about it together. Overall, I think the dealers have done a good job getting licensed and getting these out the door quickly. I agree also that the vehicle...

For the record, Audi ended European delivery for North American customers in 2018, and BMW ended it in 2020. But here is a link that explains how BMW's program used to work: https://www.bmwsf.com/bmw-european-delivery-experience/ Many people extended the insurance in Europe beyond the 14-day...

Based on the first pricing announced: selecting every accessory available added approx 35% of the base price to the final price (before taxes, registration, dealer fees etc. etc.)

I talked with an Ineos rep at the Overland Expo in Colorado last month, and he said that European delivery was still on the table for North American customers. He also said that it is not high up on their priority list, and that they are more focused on trying to deliver vehicles to North...

Might Ineos be considering a European Delivery Program like MBZ, BMW, Audi, Porsche and Volvo used to do? These programs were very popular prior to the world shutting down in 2020. I like the idea of picking up a new Grenadier at the factory and driving it around Europe and then shipping it to...

It hasn't happened yet Everyone keeps jumping up and down about things that haven't happened yet Ineos haven't even appointed US dealers yet and yet those dealers are putting on markups, for orders that haven't even been placed, at prices that haven't been defined.

If it is your vehicle be concerned If it is someone else's vehicle then it is not your worry

Well at least they keep on making them at the factory so when they do complete the software update and other bits there should be thousands of them hitting the road within a few weeks. Since we don't even get to order ours until mid year in the US and get them at the end of this year its just...

It all comes down to keeping the big market(s) happy. While the US is the largest single country market for the Grenadier, if memory serves me correctly, it has a larger percentage of "lifestyle" (I think I used the correct terminology, someone who has paid close attention to Greg's videos can...

If I were an earlier hand raiser, and by some miracle, non-reservationists were able to buy a stock factory run car - I would spit chips!!!

I really believe that the average Australian is more relaxed than the average European. But how long would this hold when you know that there are customers cars at the dealers which ordered later than you. Or your own car which you might „need“ desperately but you can not get it because of...

I too inquired when the prototype was I Seattle and heard it was ‘being considered’ I am very keen on the European delivery option.

Marvellous, sounds like you found somebody who wouldn't be beaten. Good luck and safe travels. Send pics of trip.

It's on a list to hopefully be done. Discussed here: https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/european-delivery.12379998/

1600 miles is too far to be of any use. Imagine the tow bill if you needed it towed.

...private message and ask some questions? Plans with the Grenadier: it would be amazing if they offered North American customers a European delivery option (like BMW, Volvo, and some other European brands used to do). We would pick up the car in Hambach and tour Europe, visiting friends and...

Yes, very sad indeed. Still awaiting the official letter though. This dealership (agency) was, looking at the comments in the forum, one of the best. Excellent rapport with customers and they fought very hard to get us information from Ineos in the early days. Their Ineos delivery book is very...

So.. about that.. ! 😆 Here follows a little update to the story… Windshield breaks on Monday. On Tuesday I speak with the three Ineos dealers in Sweden. There are 0 windshields available. Delivery is between 4-12 weeks. I call the dealer in Hamburg. 0 windshields. I continue to look for...

...gets the plates, drives to Germany, puts them on and drives back to Switzerland. Import/export issues may rule it out; but as on other threads like the European Delivery or indeed the Long Way Home ~ there's obviously a way to collect in one country then drive to another for permanent...

I understand that the European Delivery Option is still very much on the table, but maybe down the list a bit in terms of being resolved. Similar picture with factory visits. Hambach has the facilities and used to entertain them in the days of exclusive Smart production.

I can fully understand what you are writing. It really is very sad!

Hi from the USA, I know we're at least a year and a half away from deliveries here but has the first production IG actually rolled off the production line and are there some lucky european customers driving their beast? Very little information on this other than expected delivery delays.

Don’t worry about the slow software - it will give you time to complete the pre-flight checklist and gratuitously push some buttons and flip some switches. “Danger Zone” would be an appropriate soundtrack to complete the ambiance.

After keeping an eye on the Ineos Grenadier for a year now, after seeing pictures of friend’s new Grenadier, after consuming many hours of YouTube videos, after many online reviews, after reading forum posts and facebook posts, I decided that the only way to get a handle on the vehicle was to...

Thanks for that. I see that the Morning Claire arrived Brunswick GA two days ago (Nov 5). Looking forward to delivery to Houston!

Sorry I forgot to add that the NATO type tow bar ball is not suitable for European hitch ALKO 3504 as the NATO peg fouls and could cause an unsafe attachment and may cause a trailer to detached.

That was my whole point. So yeah @Jean Mercier you're free to "buy from wherever you want". Just calm down. Talking about experience here: Of course, Victron is probably built based of chinese components, but assembly is made in Europe, under European quality controls. It won't overload nor...

Some disappointing and frustrating news. Adelaide Hills Motor Group here in South Australia and the only dealer/agent in the state is closing down its showroom on the last day of April. This dealership (agency) was, looking at the comments in the forum, one of the best. Excellent rapport with...

Not good news I had a discussion with Ineos over a year ago regarding complaints on here and elsewhere that the Adelaide dealer couldn't get basic answers from Ineos. Things like when the vehicle was going to arrive, which vessel it was on, etc. The rest of us were getting that information and...

...I bought it from a Pennsylvania internet dealer, flew down from Boston and drove it back. I bought two Volvo wagons in their European delivery program. My financial dealings were solely with Volvo. I gave the check to the Dealer but the price was set by Volvo. Another is dealer add-ons...

Some interesting snippets: "On the sidelines of a visit to the Hambach factory where Lynn Calder and Philippe Steyer confirmed that Ineos intends to produce 15,000 Grenadier in 2023, then 30,000 in 2024" "Before adding that with the transition to two teams, the Hambach factory will...

As an add-on: Lake Bled is quite a well-known tourist attraction in Slovenia. There is a little island in the lake, on which there is a church (St. Mary's Church) with a coffee shop. On days that we both had to work, we would start our morning by running around the lake, and then we'd swim...

I'll gladly be over when time allows, who knows I may end ups working back in Bremen, although it's a very long shot at this point. I will say however, that if INEOS allow us to take delivery of the vehicles in Europe then that may be an option / excuse for me to do a bit of a tour. We could...

Hi, I don’t think you’ve received a response. I’ll have a crack. No production vehicles have been delivered to customers in any locations yet. In addition I don’t believe any forum member has been presented with a contract to sign for delivery to then take place. I’m also of the understanding...

Might be possible. But normally there are protective customs regulations that will make it quite costly. If it was a way to save money there would already exist a good known business around it. Like exporting EVs from Germany to Norway after six months holding in Germany to collect the subventions…

Yeah, I was just giving Ineos the benefit of the doubt. It will be too pricey for most commercial applications - like all the small delivery vehicles and other small commercial vehicles common in European cities. I don’t see any commercial application here in the US where larger pickups do most...

Good afternoon Mr Hocevar, Some of our community members form South Australia have beed discussing the recent news about Adelaide Motors Group. Understandably this puts some existing and prospective owners in a bit of a bind with regards to purchasing, ongoing servicing, warranty repairs...

Regarding your comment on wandering steering, I had the same issue on KO2s but after some time it disappeared, I have driven 6 Grenadiers over the last year and only 2 had this. Parking sensors have been replaced due to random alerts coming from them. Regarding locking you'll also find that you...

For those who are seriously pondering an Ineos (particularly after the test drive), your post is greatly appreciated

I asked the question and I heard someone else ask.  Greg said pick-up at the factory, factory tour and same conditions as European delivery as any other manufacturer.  He provided the information without any hesitation, so I think it's on the cards. 

Thats interesting about the European delivery as it was a definitive no when it was asked in la. Factory tour was a definitive yes if we wished.  So maybe they’re actually taking the feedback and requests onboard and responding to customer wants.  That has to be a good thing. 

Look at how the test is executed. This means a collision object of similar size. This is the theory- based on that typically normal cars are widespread and vehicles of this site are likely to crash in a vehicle of similar size. Wranglers, G - Class and other of this size however are less...

Interesting! PITA if all the European customers have to wait weeks for a ship to clear Aussie customs though!

...would be one of the few deal breakers for me. Ford was able to lock pricing for my bronco order (which I cancelled) so I don't see why ineos couldn't. Motorsports dealers are notorious for sketchy sales tactics and I can see this being an issue. European delivery would be incredible if possible.

Number 7. Just picked mine up two days ago. Same issue. Dealer mentioned it having to possibly due to some kind of calibration. Funny to read your post—I have that exact same issue.

Re steering, someone had their wheels aligned and this made a big difference to how the IG drove, may be worthwhile considering, tyre pressures are another consideration with many going to 40PSI to improve handling

@DCPU - you’re absolutely right. In the UK as of today with over 100+ customer cars parked up in storage at agents/dealers (some over 2 months) and only ONE known reported actual customer handover, it really is time to increase the pressure on IA through Customer Services and the Dealers to...

...tell me the car was painted today, in the wheels shop, etc. Ineos, if you're reading this, more granular updates would be great. European delivery would be even better. My dealer is @ElliottBayINEOSGrenadier . Initially I worked with Earl, who moved to another dealership before my truck...

Great review and very well written. I hope you get the issues sorted out like with the Rivian, and I think you will. As early adopters, we expect some small tweaks and issues, which will get sorted out with time. For me, I have a few classics from the 1960s and have restored ground up, a...

Hi Alexandra Thanks for your excellent introduction. Let's hope that your last decision was your best decision. We all have a vested interest in that being the case.

Hi there, friends! TL;DR - I pulled the trigger on a Grenadier because I lost my faith in Toyota after being brainwashed by "legendary reliability". This is long introduction, so please stay with me. Disclaimer: My father ran an automotive repair shop for a while, and I've spent most of my...

...thought here. I think they are responding to feedback. I was in Seattle with the 12pm group, the impression that I got was that European delivery might be an option for the early reservations. I think that makes sense if the dealer network wrinkles haven’t been ironed out by next year...

...load space dimensions (not cubic feet) with the rear seat up and down? 5 -- Is the rear seat a 50:50 or 60:40 split design? 6 -- Is European delivery an option for a North American vehicle?  (Please say 'Yes') I understand there's a 2B prototype testing in North America, so why not get the...

Good points The other thing to consider and I have mentioned this before. Ineos must have concerns that if the offer a product more suited to the American requirements, even as an option, they would be swamped with orders way beyond the capacity of their small manufacturing plant. Coupled with...
