Far out production delay theories.

[Solmanic]

In light of the levity provided by the previous Only Positive Thoughts Here thread, I thought it might be fun to have a thread for wild, and far out theories regarding Ineos Automotive and the current production delays. When the dust has settled and we are all happily motoring around in our new Grenadiers, it might be interesting to look back on this and see what ridiculous theories proved to be partly or maybe even wholly accurate. Theories can range from plausible to flat out ridiculous, but I dare say, even some ideas that may seem totally off-cob now... well you never know.

One theory I have so far seen alluded to in other threads include that Ineos production and distribution is being deliberately sabotaged to force down their share price thereby enabling a hostile takeover by another brand (plausible). But my personal favourite is that Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been deep frozen and his body replicated and inhabited by an AI bot and the "software updates" are due to the fact that the Grenadier's systems are interfering with robot-Jim's and other top tier Ineos managers' own system frequency (we have seen a few Ineos upper level position changes of late...need I say more). Or maybe the AI is trying to install an on-board system to take control of humans in the vehicle using sub-sonic commands.

Let the games begin.

And further, does anyone know what species of alien has a foot that might perfectly fit the RHD footrest?

I have evolved a foot that can manage a Lotus Esprit , an old 911 in workboots or bare feet and any 4x4 in a pair of waders. And for once I'm not joking.

Great thread. I have a far out theory that i've been mulling over for a while.

That the whole thing is a hoax.

There is no production Grenadier, it's just a thought/ marketing experiment to see how many people can become convinced to lay down cash for something that largely only exists as pictures/ footage on the internet.

Everyone on here has been fooled.

Nice theory, but it’s not a public company, it’s privately owned by Sir Jim and I think 2 others. So no.

Ergonomics engineer for the RHD has one leg (footrest) and is blind in the right eye (wipers)… (just kidding, Magna!)

The heading for this thread should replace Sick of waiting


Ineos Styrolution India Ltd has shareholders but I don’t think automotive is on the market…

So maybe they are trying to crash the company for tax reasons. Or all three of them are inhabited by AI bots...

The footwork is a deft and delicate caveman dance in an Esprit, but you never forget the madder than a box of frogs handbrake, applying that to hill starts without stalling or lighting up the rear end is an art form.

May have to rethink the first conspiracy theory. Isn’t it a privately held company?

Land Rover are currently in talks with IA to purchase all tooling for the Grenadier to relearn how to make a utilitarian off-road vehicle. The software update is because the Grenadier is moving over to the latest pivi pro jlr interface and we’re getting a redesigned gear lever.

Allegedly.

I remember years ago behind the wheel of an old Lambo, where I had no choice but to heel/toe (barefoot) as I simply couldn’t fit the size 12s in the footwell to drive it any other way… not to mention owning the Spitfire for a year before realising the accelerator had incorrectly been linked directly (eg with zero play).

 

[Red pepper]

It's actually not that hard,
Sir Jim just fall in love with the Grenadier and still can't let somebody else to have it, so it will take some time before he can get over it...

 

[Bushguide]

IA employed a whole swag of ex Land Rover people without vetting them.

Share price? Ineos is a private owned company. There are no shares.

What share price - private co

That’s what they want us to think. In reality it’s shares are held by the new world order, population control elite and traded on Bill Gates’ shadow stock exchange.

Private companies can still be bought. Just like votes and soccer World Cups.
