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

[FourLew2]

USA customers were supposed to be contacted in July to confirm build specs and find out their build position. Has anyone been contacted yet?

 

[RobS]

Nothing yet.

It seems that it was switched to your dealer will contact you and not Ineos. I suspect sometime end of Aug first part of Sept. Keep in mind, that it was posted on here last week, you can no longer make changes to your order. If you make a change, you will be moved to back of the line. This makes me think that they will start building them before confirming you still want your spec. Those that change their minds, the cars will becomes dealer cars.

Looks like the dealer for Los Angeles area is has a phone number listed on my reservation list as 626-449-2377 - which is Rusnak Auto Group. VERY Good dealership - have bought 4 cars from Rusnak dealers over the years and everything is always top notch. The location of the proposed dealership is less than optimal - the 626 area covers their locations in Pasedena, Anaheim or Arcadia - where as I've bought everything from the Westlake Village location which is very close to me. Will need to see how that impacts my final buying decisions; having to drive to any of those locations would be 60+ miles without traffic....what are the odds of no traffic in the greater Los Angeles area??? That could become hell on earth if the gremlins and spirits are not fully exercised from the vehicle.

I'm showing blank space up here in Seattle. What if they are making dealer announcement this week

The last I heard was towards the end of the month, August that is. This could very well have changed though.

I do know that with regards to the final spec that people have submitted, these are being handed over to the 'production procurement department' for want of a better term for purchase and scheduling. So they have the components just in time for the build slot as allocated by your original reservation number.

@Stu_Barnes thanks for the update. Still waiting for the website to be updated. I know they have my info, confirmed around 7/15. I now know how the other half felt when they went through the hoops in 2022. Some are still waiting

I was hoping our US cousins would have benefited from the teething problems suffered by those of us in rest of world. Seems not. Hopefully customer service will get a grip.

Still blank for me also. The Ineos rep at Dirtfish name dropped "Lexus of Bellevue" when giving examples of who might be a dealer, so that's my guess, but since he wasn't a local it might have just been the dealer he saw driving there that morning.

It seems like every thing that Ineos has said is subject to change.

There was someone who was local. His twin brother is in the YouTube video from the LA drive. They live in Seattle. It might be a good guess. I went on their Facebook page and came across this front and center. If they are remodeling the shop it might be to include IG.

Welcome to the Grenadier experience it will happen, but not at the time or in the way you expect.

That's what I come here for on days I don't hear anything official.

It's wonderful seeing the guesses made months ago coming to fruition...

Yes, and please build a few thousand more before mine!

I'd like to suggest a "Sick of Waiting - US Edition" thread

And welcome to the global party
