Australasia Grenadier Delivery & Wait Times in Australia.

Future sales on $120K cars might be slowing down soon, rates are up, financial losses for people are just beginning and negatives returns on super returns is going to bite, coupled with real losses and negative equity happening across multiple housing regions. The world is not so dissimilar. They should focus on selling/obtaining full funds for the entire reservation list, before even thinking about demo cars... so new customers will be driving "real demo vehicles" before early hand raisers and supporters get their vehicles? That can't be right.

I think the dealers who have stumped up a lot of money would like some demos to sell with. I thought they were being pretty reasonable? Most of the first lot are customer cars.

You will cry if demo's can be sold to public!!!

I guess it depends on the primary purpose of the agents. If it is to sell Grenadiers outside of the committed early hand raisers then they must have demo models - with each demo potentially generating hundreds of sales.

How many Australian agents are there - 25 and each one needs minimum 2 demos, that 50 cars off the bat.

There's plenty of PTO2s and 03s around for off road demos. I guess they have the figures about drives converting to reservations/orders to make the call on.

I am sure there will be some cars that are shipped without a contract. So there will be some cars that probably won’t be bought, because of financial issues or other reasons (screwed up configuration by Ineos…)
Those cars will be great demo cars.

At some point you do need to drive one at a speed higher than 20kph.

I’ve been informed today by my agent (Purnell) that my production month is now May.

+ 90 days to get here, August is my expectation.

Previously production was Jan 2023. Gives an indication of the slippage that has occurred.

That's my point, if you are filling your allocated build slots with off road demos, then you absolutely don't.

Was Jan 2023 was the very first production month indicated?

That sounds about right, the dealer (Purnell) told me last week production was set back around 4 months last year when they re-engineered the factory.

My car was ordered last week with a provisional build date of August 2023, November delivery.

The very first month was March 2023 (displayed on the portal).

This production month did not alter until near the end of last year when January 2023 was communicated to me by my agent - as well as no more changes allowed as the vehicle was about to enter production (I’d only made 1 change request) which I was told didn’t impact the production timeline.

Interesting. Did you place an order last week?

 

[Disco Dave]

My production month went from Feb to March and currently now April.

I ordered mid Jan, was told build date May for delivery around Aug. I should check with the agent to see if my build date has slipped. I'm hoping the build/software issues will be sorted by May and IA are in full swing.

Yes on 17 March. I needed a new car. My car was recently written off.

That was a big Roo!

That was a big Roo!

Went by the name of Toyota Troopie crossing on to my side of the road. My car faired better than his. I survived with some nasty injuries - combined crash speed was between 150-180kph.

When detailing only 4 demonstrator models on boat to us. It highly likely many of the dealers have purchased vechilces to use as demonstrators and every day drives, combining the show and use. Know when speaking to my agent this is definitely the case. Hoping to see a few on the road soon.

It will be God damn hilarious if these 'shipped' vehicles have a few owners renege on contract, then those 'spare' vehicles are fixed and made 'road ready 1st' and sold a premium to the 'public' and beat all of us early reservationists to drive in real life!
