Called my dealer. Found that about half a dozen vehicles delivered this week. They still waiting on parts/accessories. Our vehicle apparently is still in port as has been flagged as "Hitch equipped". Once the hitch is removed and update complete, the vehicle will then be released to Transport. Once on the hauler, Ineos sends the dealer a list of VINs. At this time, assuming Dealer has everything in place is when can expect The Call.


Won't be here in time for the Birthday, so here's hoping for Xmas.

My vin is lower than that and still no cigar.

Ditto. I'm all sixes and sevens. No idea what that means, but it was in Austin Powers, the cinematic masterpiece through which Americans are taught everything about British culture.

I've never been but I think Jimneys are perfect for islands like Hawaii, the Bahamas, etc.

Agree with this, jimneys are fantastic for island adventures. Their compact size, versatility, and off-road capabilities make them ideal for exploring diverse terrains and enjoying scenic island landscapes. I did the same on my hawaii trip

I’m right there with you I am #19285

Well glad to see a pre-order number close to mine which is 19248. I am hoping for a delivery in April or May out here in Oregon.

Anyone heard about the issue with brake lights not working on trailer hookup requiring a factory software update and hitches having to be removed from our trucks in the meantime because of liability issues? This is holding up delivery to dealers now, my car has been in Brunswick GA for a month with no sign of it yet and my local dealer cannot find out when. Anyone hear anything to the contrary or can confirm?
Have not gotten my deposit back as of yet which makes me wonder also.

The refund of your initial reservation fee is unrelated to when your vehicle is built/arrives/etc.

I wonder what it is related to then, cash flow?

Most everyone saw it in October or very early November (many several weeks before the email went out). Mine isn't scheduled for production for another month but I got the refund prior to the email as well

It's how the US works. Different distribution/dealership model. In the US the dealers buy the vehicles once they are ready to be shipped from the port of entry. So Ineos kicks us back our deposits and you handle everything with the dealership.

I just logged into the Ineos website and my estimated delivery date has changed from Q1 to Q2 2024. Bummer.

I don't put much faith in the website, mine shows as "In Production", despite confirming with Ineos that it is "in transport".

Whenever somebody posts a change on their IA order page, it would be interesting to know how big the flurry of other people checking their’s suddenly becomes.
I don’t know about others but, I can’t help myself when somebody says there’s a change in their status.

Hell it’s looking like mine won’t get here until next summer. Perhaps that’s why the dealer has never contacted me other than via junk mail.

 

[Krabby]

As of this morning mine still said preorder and Q1 delivery, but the Ineos rep I chatted with Monday said it was already built and awaiting shipping. I'm PO 14,3xx, VIN 10,2xx

 

[PNW_IG]

Hey Krabby, when did you preorder?

 

[Krabby]

Hey Krabby, when did you preorder?

I reserved my place Nov. 2022 I think. I was late to the party

I entered my preorder into the system May 31st (it shows Aug. 15)

I received an INEOS email update to customers this morning. Unfortunately the link was to the same "Dealer Day" announcement/Q&A from September.

I'm hoping that's an error and there is some more communication from the North American branch.
