Well - I requested changes 3 times over a couple of months (once by phone and twice via email) so I was anticipating my contract to have issues but, no it was perfect.

Making heaps of changes doesn't seem to be a factor causing incorrect contracts

My changes were all committed.

The point is that there is something in my contract which I never ordered. Not even test-wise in any other configuration.

General question - are there any contracts issued in April 2023 ?
There was (I do not remember when ) a statement that in the next batch all remaining orders to December 2022 shall be served with contracts. But I have got little faith in this.

@Hannes01 I never dreamt about this. As I wrote- I ve got little faith. - No faith at all in fact.
As I ordered nearly the same car my dream will come true when I sit inside, got my plates on it and start the engine to drive home!

Another milestone bits the dust. What are the delays, you can't blame supplier issues this is 100% down to Ineos. Unless a whole batch are sent out on the 30th April

At least one here. - So some contracts are still getting issued..
Again I do not expect anything .. just try to get a picture of processes..

I do not expect mine in this quarter.
I did send Ineos a couple of emails this week asking a) when my Feb build is likely to be built - no answer & b) when am I likely to receive a contract - answer; in the coming weeks pls be patient.

No sure if my email chasers had any influence on my contract arriving this morn????

Worth a go though

I like the way the website states return by 10th May and the email states within 7 days

Hi Klarie,

I received my contract 24th April after I had asked my agent if my Feb build and March/April delivery was still on track. The agents reply was that it was in pre-production but I did get the contract the next day so maybe the prompt helped.

I was thinking what pre production mean as mine apparently had a pre production phase. Maybe it’s anaesthesia but doesn’t add up to me. Maybe someone more lucid than me can explain 🤔
Pre-production cars are vehicles that allow the automaker to find problems before a new model goes on sale to the public. Pre-production cars come after prototypes, or development mules which themselves are preceded by concept cars. Pre-production vehicles are followed by production vehicles in the mass production of them for distribution through car dealerships.
the full wikipedia article suggests pre production cars get scrapped or destroyed 😳

I'd say that Wiki definition is in the context of new vehicle development and bringing a new model to market.

I believe that in the realm of manufacturing, that pre-production would be gathering the specifications, accessories, components to produce a specific vehicle, and then the vehicle enters the production phase, during which those specific pieces are assembled into a specific vehicle.

So, while your vehicle may be in a pre-production phase, it is waiting to be assembled, or awaiting final QA before being declared ready for transportation and ultimate delivery, not that you're being provided a pre-production prototype.

I'd agree with that. The wiki definition is in the context of new vehicle (or any technical product in my experience).
The 'pre-production' used in Ineos I think could also be referred to as 'kitting'. At least, I hope that's the case.
