Build month and delays.....

[Mules]

Another Australian October build now April - May 2023 delivery.

Ouch. Better go and fix the speedo on the Tdi then....

actually IA never told us how long it would take from production to delivery. Maybe this time came down from five to one month. So you get your car one month earlier than expected.
Good news!

I have received this email from ineos as well. Delivery date was once November and is now announced for Q1/2023.

> Original delivery date November 22
You mean build slot?


And the other "delivery dates" I guess as well?

September 2022 ordered, now E-Mail with delivery-date May/June 2023

The strange thing is: They build your Grenadiers without having a signed contract?

 

[bemax]

They still have some time to let us sign

 

[emax]

Yes. But if you don't, they have a Grenadier.

 

[bemax]

A very nice one in my case. I would take it with a little discount

September was the build date and January was given as the delivery date!

 

[rovie]

Yes. But if you don't, they have a Grenadier.

There will be enough buyers.

 

[globalgregors]

Oh no, from Oct to Apr-May. I wonder how much of that is shipping versus production slot.

My original build date was April 23 so I expected delivery end of June or early July.
It then came back to March 23 so I expected delivery end of May or early June
Now instead of build date they are quoting delivery date, which is more interesting for me anyway.
Your Grenadier is heading for the production line meaning you can expect delivery to be between July - August 2023. Not long now until you can put yours to the purpose you have in mind. We can’t wait to see you behind the wheel.

Yes, I understand. But I mean: They announce delivery dates (which presumes a build) without having a signed contract.

But they will probably send the contract before the first bolt is mounted, I think. What they then have is not a Grenadier, but a free build slot - which might be fine for some.

I think the assembly time is much shorter and the contract comes earlier than 6 weeks before the start of production.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about a mate who ordered a Toyota RAV4 early this year and was recently told it would be at least another 14 months.
This is from a company that has been making cars since 1935 and the RAV4 since 1994.

Did all these emails arrive around the same time? Or are they trickling in slowly ...?
