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

Burp? 10% failure to close among early orderers?

Watch it crest 30% as the order bank is exhausted.

Watch it crest 30% as the order bank is exhausted.

Before actual sales they were guessing it’d be roughly half

FYI, 105 Grenadiers were delivered to the port of Brunswick, Georgia yesterday. Good news for you eastern folks....

You know, their retention rate is a testament to what they have built. They built something so great, people are NOT dropping like flies despite the geopolitical / economic climate we live in. Hats off to Ineos for pulling it off!

Even 30% would be fantastic for a nothing down reservation

In another thread a person ordered in Dec with delivery set for Feb. If the exact build a person wants is not on the lot then the wait time doesn't seem that bad. I'd prefer to wait 60 days and get the exact build. As an example, adding dif lock is crazy expensive and hard to do later which makes that feature a bargain. Same with the tow hitch or anything that adds wiring. Things like a the country badge, step or rock rails, etc are easy to add later. Seems like this might create a bit of a surplus for the low-end builds.

Curious, if Ineos is only allowed 5 to 6k cars in the US per year...is that a calendar or fiscal year? Was wondering if we could see 10k units in the US by Oct of next year.

As in order Dec. 2023 and receive in Feb. 24? That cannot be correct.

If that's the case I should be sitting in my truck today.

 

[Roach]

Yep. Seems odd.

Weird. Not sure how that could be if we have all ordered well beforehand and are being told late Q1 or Q2.

Another data point I suppose. Maybe a shift in demand or they have ironed out any supply chain issues they had in the beginning.

Perhaps. But if this truly was the case, it would behove many of us to just place new orders today and get them sooner than what we already expect.

Australian market and if I follow the thread back correctly it was ordered back in June.

@MTNDOG makes more sense. Still, June to Feb is not too bad

Even thought I placed my order on 4-June-2023, Ineos processed it on 14-Jul-2023. It still arrived in Baltimore on 15-Nov-2023. That's only 4-months by Ineos' clock. I think NA is getting accelerated deliveries, or Ineos is just better at manufacturing...

 

[Bruce]

They did prioritize US builds for early reservation holders so if you put a deposit down before this spring, IIRC, they were thinking you'd take delivery by January.

 

[Norb-TX]

Nope.

 

[A1B2C3D4]

I second that nope

 

[Bruce]

Are you noping my statement? Because it came from Ineos at my drive event and I've seen nothing to show that it's been incorrect so far. They aren't necessarily getting the trucks to the earliest handraisers first, otherwise I'd have mine. However, they did build a massive number of trucks for the US after the summer break as I was told by the Ineos rep.

 

[PNW_IG]

I placed my deposit in April of 22, converted to order June 1, 23 and I my grenadier isn't even in production.
