My Grenadier order page has NEVER worked. I have never been able to see my order, my contract or any detail other than the date I ordered it. It still says "in production" despite the fact my IG is on my driveway.
From a mass email Ineos sent out 2023-Aug-18:
FWIW, I've received no dates or updates on my order either. Reservation placed 2021-Sep-29, which I hope will still put me early in the production queue, though apparently not early in the communication queue. Lolsigh. (Pre-order placed 2023-Jun-29.)
Hi TomDoc, I am assuming you have called Ineos and let them know. If not, perhaps give them a call and request they correct your account information so they can keep their order books up to date and correct unless you want a second one....DaBullMy Grenadier order page has NEVER worked.

Yes - have called at least three times during the wait for delivery. They always acknowledged it but nothing has ever changed.Hi TomDoc, I am assuming you have called Ineos and let them know.

I would like to declare that I'm showing nothing still on the ineos website of my preorder. I spoke to a rep on Wednesday who said they see everything and will have someone from ineos reach out by Friday with a update. I accepted when I hung up the phone it was never going to happen and the dude was getting me off the phone. Not frustrated anymore just demoralized. Thank you for listening me whine about my first world problems.
Ineos has had build slots for Q4 2023 planned for US orders since the beginning of this year; does that mean the US will get their orders ahead of other markets that have placed orders prior to us, yes. Can this all change? Of courseDidn't Ineos receive any orders in the intervening period?
Somebody talk me out of ordering a new Defender or driving to Utah to pick up the used one I've been looking at. Or maybe at some point financial clarity will kick in and I will just keep what I have, I mean how boring is an F150???Bro, theres nothing we can do....
A bunch of us who ordered on that same day/time period are in the same leaky Ineos boat as you. I've decided this entire shit-show has become comical at this point.
Ineos kinda sucks right now with any sort of customer service & communication, & we hope it gets better.
If it makes somebody feel better to call Ineos's pretend AI-Bot customer service & be told "everything's cheerio here at Ineos (in a lovey British or Scottish accent)" well then go right ahead.
For some people, Verbal Hugs & Kiss make it all better .
My plan is to sit back, have a few margaritas, enjoy this amazing forum Stu & other contributors put together, try not to get kick off the forum for my sarcastic & sometimes smart ass comments, & hopefully see a Grenadier in my driveway (along with everyone else) sometime next year.
Cheers Caballeros -
If you're debating it, go for the defender..... Or keep the F150 if it suits your needs betterSomebody talk me out of ordering a new Defender or driving to Utah to pick up the used one I've been looking at.

Hi TomDoc, Looks great planted on the green earth, a proper setting for a proper vehicle. DaBullView attachment 7824889
Here's mine - none of the links to order summary or contract have ever worked.
But I am pretty sure they have built one for me because it's on my front drive!

My wife has a 23 Defender 130. I'm not impressed. Relative to my 21 LC200 it feels like a tin can and is surprisingly loud inside the cabin.Somebody talk me out of ordering a new Defender or driving to Utah to pick up the used one I've been looking at.

Hi Idaho, Guess your wife is never going to let you drive her ND. DaBullMy wife has a 23 Defender 130. I'm not impressed. Relative to my 21 LC200 it feels like a tin can and is surprisingly loud inside the cabin.
I’ve also considered this route (as I’m sure many on this forum also have), and I simply always come back to a few things:Somebody talk me out of ordering a new Defender or driving to Utah to pick up the used one I've been looking at.

Fortunate to not need anything...the Ineos is a pure want, the uniqueness and capability being the main driver. I can wait many moons for it. Instant gratification was in full affect for a few days Now back to holding strong till the Ineos gets here.Serious question: Do you need a new vehicle right this very moment?
I'm driving a 23 year old pick-up right now. It's the newest vehicle I own. It needs a little paint work but it's mechanically sound and gets the job done. I'm also not desperate or jonesing for a Grenadier. It would be really, really nice to have one but, if they never make it to the USA, I'll just eventually buy something else.
PS - there will always be another deal down the road. You can buy an ND next year too. HTH.
F150 doesn’t have to be boring at all. Just depends on how much you want to spend. I have Saleen Sportruck XR (F150 Lariat) with 740 HP and all the 4x4 stuff and I can promise you it is not boring! It cost about the same as the Grenadier Fieldmaster that I have on order.Somebody talk me out of ordering a new Defender or driving to Utah to pick up the used one I've been looking at.

I went from a Ford Raptor (‘17) to a ‘23 110 Defender X. I’m not going to lie and say I don‘t miss the utility of having a bed but the rest of the Defender is so much nicer.Somebody talk me out of ordering a new Defender or driving to Utah to pick up the used one I've been looking at.
