Easy Way Home - the 1st customer delivery in the world? Not sick of waiting.

I wonder why all of these handovers seem so much to be on the QT?

Cos that's what the customer wants

I posted in another thread earlier today:

I am amazed at the total lack of publicity on handovers both from Ineos and the agents/dealers themselves. It really is as though the agents/dealers are being completely gagged under formal instruction by Ineos. I find this to be extremely concerning.

Any such publicity does not require to involve the actual customer if they don't want it, but surely promotion of the vehicle, the local agent/dealer, and the brand are entirely justifiable.

It's the customers car and therefore they must comply with the customers wishes not to use their car in any publicly

Hmmmmm, me think’s sometimes when people have too much time they think too much.

I want a detailed handover, an unexpected but practical gift, and then drive it home, not a camera in site.
Besides, I’ve a great head for radio, definitely not pics.


In terms of Ineos / dealer publicity, I’m guessing some sort of coordinated effort for maximum effect will happen soon enough- I wouldn’t do it piecemeal.

Not surprised so much that INEOS isn’t being too public on this as there is still a pretty slow dribble out, or that some owners aren’t big on social media. I am a little surprised that INEOS hasn’t released Hard Way home videos yet now they now handovers are starting.

They're busy working 24/7 on their No Way Home videos at the moment.

They've moved on. The future is more exciting than mundane production completions (yawn). They've got new models developing to talk about: the UTE, the smaller EV, a tarted up Gren etc.

It's a business. They want it to grow. Focus is on the future.

The customer buys a car, the Co. looks ahead.

Production success doesn't steal the limelight.

Video 1: one car stuck in Morocco in a heavy rain storm with the @Jean Mercier syndrome (for new users on this forum: wiper syndrome)
Video 2: one car stuck in Spain in the Sierra Nevada with overheating transfer case.
Video 3: one made it home in Austria, with a German numberplate of a prototype. He is allowed to use it until his production car is delivered to him with new brake and steering hoses in December 2023.
Video 4: me going weekly to my dealer for giving a big hug to my future car: delivery April 1st, 2024. This date was communicated by my dealer, not by Ineos, because the communication manager was fired, and will not be replaced!

Video 5: me smashing my keyboard around because I cannot have the number plate I want on my GREN when it arrives, followed by email to IA asking when my car is coming (even though it should be Aug!)!!!
Video 6: Jean driving back to get his weekly update... but only 2 days after last visit!!!

Video 7: Trobex rupturing a disc due to massive footwell intrusion pressing on his spine during a test drive in a dealer's forecourt.
With nightly news cameras and Vigilante News reporters making the most of a quiet day.

My car has - as the only one in Belgium - a problem with the wipers: start the motor, and wipers are running and no way to stop them.
If you look at the picture below, you should be able to recognize my future car

My Grenadier arrived at Krah+Enders!



I will now face the @Jean Mercier effect, I guess ...

And I'll never scoff anymore.

Emax getting his vehicle before either @Ever Pragmatic or @Jean Mercier would be a right curve ball!

Photos required for you to be believed.

You must go and carry out a function test of all components: lights, horn, toot, forwards, backwards, stop, diff lock, low range, transfer box and most crucially; windscreen wipers.

Do you think forum members could speed up the delivery process by offering to do their own PDIs? We might get a few quid back too!

I could post a photograph from my telephone call, if had taken one. Not sure whether this was sufficient.

I rely on @Jean Mercier.

Great news @emax is it the correct colour?

I didn't ask to be honest.

Nor did I ask which motor they built in.

Don't make me nervous, Steve!

What is "QT" ?
