Build month and delays.....

[DCPU]

I also asked about EU homologation because I was worried that there could have been an issue / that this could be the reason why there are no test drives on public roads for us. They had an Ineos rep at their dealership the day before who confirmed that the homologation was done. hope this is true.

The type approval certification should be on a number of national databases but it's proving hard to view, at least for someone not used to accessing this sort of info.

There's a bit more info here:

Sick of waiting

I hear ya. Ineos are treading a fine line at the moment. If by some magic, it were possible to know the exact future date of receiving a car, i'm certain that many today would be shocked to know it, and cancel their order. Although it's irritating, probably less bad to incrementally nudge...

And the clock is ticking on this:

I'd like to believe what you were told and the above will hopefully corroborate this.

It may be that the vehicles being used for the test drives are still deemed "prototypes" for financial reasons, and so either cannot be driven on public roads by members of the public/for reasons not related to prototype development/testing/showing under the criteria for prototypes; or maybe the insurance requirements to do so are prohibitive.

Ineos seems most active in posting stuff on Twitter. Not saying it is the most informative stuff, but it seems to be their most up-to-date conversations. That’s where I found out about the prototype being at a local show. I didn’t learn about it from email or anything.

Has anyone placed an order + de[posit in the last couple of months and if so what is the envisaged built date for the vehicle?

Also are there any selections on the configurator that may cause delays in the build date, such as a winch, certain colours (I like the green, as it would be a work vehicle) or engine type etc?

When you ask Ineos it is like asking them for an envisaged date when man will land on Mars.

The local bookies has man landing on Mars first !!

Customer production seems to keep slipping, I was told at my test drive event that id most likely get my Grenadier before Xmas, but im not taking that as gospel. As far as spec is concerned, Shale blue is the only colour that's received a delay apparently.

Just configure what you want and order it. The longer you mess around the later the build date will be.
It's like a teenager looking at the girl and trying to decide if they will go over and talk to her.
Just do it and take your chance before somebody else does.
