Build month and delays.....

[emax]

All this talk about changes to orders does my head in. We were told when we paid our deposits that we could make minor changes WHEN WE SIGNED OUR CONTRACTS, so all the drama over the past few months has, in my opinion, been pointless.

I have a very early build slot (hopefully still next month) and I have not yet received a contract, but when I do I will be able to make any minor changes I may require. (We have already been told that major changes could affect our build slot.)

It's even still in the FAQ's. I can only recommend that everybody takes a screenshot of this so if necessary we'd have a collective evidence in case this suddenly disappers. Here is the German site, but I saw it on English sites as well:

To get there, I made steps 1, 2, 3:

Well done Emax and good thinking. I do trust IA but you never know when a company will move the goal posts and forget to tell everyone.

I will make a change when the time comes but if someone tells me I still have to have the seat covers as it’s too late to change when I have stopped laughing I would probably forget to sign the contract as well.

if it all goes swimmingly at that stage I might chance my arm and spend the money saved on the luxury whale penis leather steering wheel.

Now don’t tell me it’s not made of that type of leather as I may have a child like tantrum and cancel my order again

 

[ECrider]

haha Shaky Onassis!

 

[Shaky]

I am sure as soon as sir Jim finds out about my special order extra he will be demanding one himself.

on a semi (no pun intended) serious note. I believe there is a swanky crystal gear knob in a BMW 8 series. Having not seen one, would that be something that someone with too much money could utilise an an IG ??

 

[DaveB]

Ive requested the steering wheel upgrade because you guys talked me into it!

Yes, I am thinking of doing the same thing so when they contact me in January/February next year (March build date) I will make a decision.

 

[emax]

Wow! Shaky Onassis wants a Koh-i-Noor shifter.

 

[DaveB]

Take your pick

 

[Shaky]

Would GK6 be the one ??

I didn’t realise there was such an array of gear knobs. I can honestly see someone doing it when the bling merchants get hold of an IG.

GK6 is the crystal one from the X5. There are at least 20-30 others that I didn't bother with.

Oh wow! Where on the configurator can I find the option to have the gear knob sheathed in whale penis leather? Now that would be a unique feature.

I also asked about the production date. Originally it was September for me. Then Mark Tennant told us about the 1-month delay and the date changed to October. Then there was no date at all in my account. When I asked, the answer was that the delivery of the first Grenadiers had been delayed. In addition to parts supply, extended quality control is also stated. This would be done in order not to risk the start of series production with quality issues. Good approach! It is expected that the first vehicles will be delivered before Christmas. Let's be surprised.

 

[Christoph]

Ah so my estimated delivery date has been changed to “-“

Yep - but the price is back to what is was before now.

 

[ECrider]

waiting for the updated projected build date is one helluva drum roll - must stop looking, a watched pot never boils!

 

[rovie]

Yep - but the price is back to what is was before now.

I talked to the Ineos contact person about the price. The reason for the change was the adjustment of prices for commercial customers. The VAT is shown separately here. Inadvertently, the prices for private customers were also adjusted. In the meantime, this mistake has been corrected.

 

[Beormund]

Just realised this Friday (30 Sept) will be exactly 1 year since I reserved my Grenadier!

 

[emax]

Another year to delivery ... ?

 

[Spjnr]

Another year to delivery ... ?

Don't temp fate Emax!

See I thought it was watched pot never grows. Same for watched magic mushrooms

Hi all, just checked my account, build date still not shown (was October 2022 and ordered 18 May 2022).
(Can't seem to get my account here to show "ordered")
There are some other changes though:-
1. New config code from 26 September 2022. ( third time it has altered)
2. Engine power now shown as 183 (kw) as opposed to 249 (ps), same I think.
3. Paint warranty has gone up to 5 yrs from 3yrs.
4. combined consumption up to 12.1 l/100km from 11.838 l/100km.
5. CO2 up to 310 g/km from 304.124 g/km.
6 Price has gone up by £20, without any alterations?

Is the £20 additional fuel by any chance?
