Americas ANY WORD YET? (the NA build date and dealer announcement thread)

[timhaney]

Received email today stating a 4Q23 estimated build date. Interesting the my pre-order page on the website hasn't been updated, but I'll take incremental progress.

I have not received an email yet. My build window email on August 18th was Q4. The website no longer has that listed.

My deposit was made on September 20th 2021. My preorder was July 3rd.

My preorder number is 10XXX

So you already got the email then....

Time to schedule that marketing wrap for Q1 '24

What’s up man! Yes indeed we are getting the Grenadier stickered up, to help sell more coffee!!! We are doing a decal package inspired by the Camel Trophy race of yesteryear. I also went ahead and ordered the Melvin & Moon interior seat covers as well!!! Another great family business in Africa!!!

Just for the record, Anand and his wife were extremely kind, generous, and gracious to me at the Chicago Ineos drive event. Their hospitality did not fall on deaf ears at all. I hope your family’s kindness, comes back to both of you 10-fold!!!

Next time you are near me, come grab a coffee on the house!!!

Hi Rubicon, Continue to hold out hope. 9637 has a Q4 2023 build date. DaBull

Thank you. I am fine with however long it takes. I have a Rubicon for all that off-road stuff for now, lol. My only big concern is if the dealership decides that they can add a bunch of financial add-ons. The whole idea of paying over MSRP just to own one has never made sense to me. That extra cost does not raise its value once you drive off the lot.

No no, we made it so far away from this being the black hole of every set of posts.... Worry about this if it becomes a reality, don't worry about it becoming a reality

@DaBull I’m at 14,3xx.

And I will immediately hit the eject button... I'm already $10k over where I hoped pricing would be when I started this journey

I got Q1 2024 and a friend of mine who put an order for Fieldmaster got Q4. He put his initial deposit in Feb 22 and his build order the day it opened. I called Ineos to get clarity on how I was in Q1 since Ineos mentioned the first reservation holder would get built first. She couldn't say but mentioned that it could be color as they batch the colors together. Then it could be the field masters would be built first then trialmasters. I'm cool with the Q1 bit wanted Q4 so I could break it before taking my father-in-law who turning 80 on a week-long BDR overland trip through Wyoming or Idaho. I feel like it will be a little more rushed now.

She did say that the dealer day will be 9/21 and I can speak with the dealer who might provide better clarity.

This seems like a likely scenario. Looking through the posts, my pre-order is 96XX and have not received anything about a build date. I ordered a Trialmaster with a number of options in silver. Wanted a color a bit flashier but alas, lol

 

[Norb-TX]

Got my email this morning as well. Q4 "window" for build.

 

[stratego]

1Q2024 #15XXX preorder in California

edit: I see many others have gotten this window

 

[Nvakirtzidelis]

You are not the only one……

Q1 2024
14191
New York, NY

 

[MileHigh]

To be perfectly frank I think they are just sending out emails telling everybody Q4. Having watched all of this, we know the dates slip.

I know that it would probably be too confidential and proprietary, but it would be interesting to see what it goes into to make the production schedule. I assume that it really is a marrying of the sub contractors and their schedule of parts getting there. And that is even probably more of an affect on something like the Grenadier.

 

[nobody_asked]

I got mine slot with the first round of emails. Production Number in the mid 11XXXs and a Q4 2023 date.

 

[FlyersFan76]

So you already got the email then....

Probably right. With all of this talk today and my build window on the website disappearing in the last 2 weeks I figured a new email was coming as an update.

And how does anyone know if this will happen or not? Some supposed USA dealers here have vowed to not sell for over MSRP, but they are few and far between.

I fully expect to have my date slip, but they are telling a bunch of people Q1 2024.

Something is seriously glitching with their website today. I have a second preorder that was put in this morning. I never ordered another car. My older one is still in there. So I have 2 preorders for some odd reason. can someone else check too?
