They are sorting things by

- availability of parts
-- order date
--- production resources

Seems your parts are available.

Prayers are like magic. If you believe it , it works. But usually, not ;<)

Ineos yesterday:
„the contract of sale will be about 30 days ahead of the build date, so
that would be mid-September, so
it's supposed to come in a few weeks, and
by then you will also have an updated configuration“

Not 60 days as communicated before. I wonder what will be the next info.

Ordered 18may22, build month originally 03/23, now Jan 23

that mirrors my 2 month change. i.e ordered 18 May with original build date Feb 23 now predicted as Dec 22

They have to hurry up. Energy prices are exploding in Germany, up to 700%. This happens currently more or less everywhere in Europe.

And I suspect that over the winter period some might jump off the train.

Yes as I wrote I think that already some left the project for good reasons. If you need your money for electricity and heating you think twice whether or not buying a not exact cheap car which does burn 50 - 100 % more petrol or diesel than a similar sized van.

My Defender burns 10.45 liters on average over the last 17 years. It can only get better, I asume about 9 liters the way I drive.

Of course the Grenadier need less fuel than the old dinosaurs. It is a new dinosaur…

Just logged on for the first time in a couple of weeks and noticed that build date has changed from Nov to Oct 2022. That is next month… won‘t be holding my breath but you never know…
For anyone that‘s wondering order is placed in CH

@david read your post and was curious as I’m in Switzerland as well. Confirm: same here. My build date has changed from Nov to Oct 22. Let’s see.

 

[acwiltshire]

My Order details haven't changed (yet). Still says October 2022 for the estimated build date. But then the changes I made with my local agent haven't shown up either (yet).

Just checked. My original build was oct now nov 22. Fyi ordered 19th May. Fieldmaster donny grey no other paint or wraps. No.email yet to sign contract.

Good morning. I am from South Africa. Have ordered on 18 May 22. My build month was moved from Sept to Nov 22 yesterday. I have contacted IG whom has confirmed that it was done due to unforeseen circumstances.

"Michael
Agent Michael said
We have a general delay unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances.
8:22 AM"

 

[bemax]

I just want to know whether the "unforeseen circumstances" are caused due to:

1. quality issusses in production
2. delays in procurement
3. problems in ECE-homologation

but we will never know...

 

[DCPU]

I had a previous MD who always lectured that the clever/expensive people he employed were supposed to known the difference between "unforeseeable" and "unforeseen".

My build date has changed again: from September to October and now November.
But the configuration is still the old one from May, not updated though I had contacted them 3 times.

Only worry about it when you get the purchase contract. I know you are concerned that your changes will impact your build date but I don't believe any changes you make on line re actually acted on.
