What's the problem
He is very experienced and well qualified

Well at least he knows what his pronouns are I suppose.

INEOS Grenadiers is the cycling team, not the automotive arm - has nothing to do with the Grenadier vehicle.

Yes I know
I replied to the comment that he had moved into marcoms for the Grenadiers

Yes.
I am always having to correct my mates when I tell them I bought a Grenadier... not a cyclist.

George is still there though, isn't he?

Looks like our WA friends win!

Hope an Australian forum member gets one soon

Does anyone know if the Grenadier factory in Hambach is working a seven day week at the moment?

It's French, what do you think!!

I believe all the workers are German. True or Not?

It’s near the border, but I doubt they are all German. Maybe some are.

I suspect they all spoke Mercedes?

Interesting question Les. From drive.com.au:

The company says its production facility in Hambach, France currently has the capacity to produce up to 30,000 vehicles per year, operating on a two-shift, 16-hour roster.​

Ineos says there is the potential to move to a 24-hour factory roster with an additional eight-hour shift, which would increase production capacity to 45,000 vehicles per year.​

​

Based on an assumption that they committed to no redundancies in taking on the plant, one expects they cannot drop much below this. They are not producing Grenadiers at the peak rate.

However, production would be retarded if the present batch-and-hold process is generating vehicles that require remediation or remanufacture. Frenchie can only be in one place at a time…

Don't forget they are still assembling the Smart car there until next year

Oh, I thought they’d finished with that. That would account for the throughput, sure. I presume the factory footprint used by Smart would be reallocated which would leave them presently at a fraction of the above capacity.

It will continue production of an electric-drive Smart and part of a new electric Mercedes SUV at the site until 2024, the source in Hambach said.

Maybe that space is planned for the extended chassis variants (leaning into speculation this evening).

Based on information recently released by IA the factory is producing somewhere between 60-70 cars a day; which is around HALF it's 2 shift capacity.

The question is WHY?

Why aren't they pumping these puppies out - 120/130 day?

Lack of parts, lack of customer demand, other gremlins that need to be fixed during/post production?

I wonder what FTE are out there in dealer-land running software patches and ticking off QA checklists…

70 a day makes those at 9000-10000 in the order list a long way off. Given all previously delays, how will they get to the 15K stated for year 1 deliveries which we are already 6+ months in? My wife is livid at the lack of any provided timelines.

Drop down to your local Jeep dealer.
You could drive away tomorrow in any of half a dozen models in your choice of colour.
