Ineos forced to shut down production on supplier issue

Media starting to break that production of the IG is going to be paused until 2025 due to financial troubles at one of its suppliers.

The UK dealers were just told and mine told me today but I didn't post anything until I saw it starting to appear in the media. I cant see behind the paywall but I wonder if this is recaro?

I think the one market that this statement isn't accurate for is the US. Yes there are plenty of units available, but having spoken to a number of dealers, they are delighted at their sales figures

This probably is true. But for the factory the orders in total count. Don’t they?
So as long as the USA market doesn’t overfill all expectations they would still produce more

Is there any particular reason they would open up to you about their business?

Without getting into specifics, I know people in a number of different roles and we chat frequently

That is awesome. I would love to see both of your grenadier side-by-side. Yes, cars trucks beers and guns is our byline. The show is a cavalcade of ADHD fun!

One I am keeping completely stock and the other one, well it’s probably a little overboard with the accessories. Once I finally get it back from the shop doing the installs, I plan on taking pics and changing my Avatar to show them both off!! I’m sure I will get criticized on the accessories added one as I don’t think there is one I left off!!

Exactly, that's how it is!

I’m thinking INEOS would be providing product design and the seat manufacture would build to spec of client.. not the other way around…

What are your contacts telling you about the stoppage?

I was in a Canadian dealership a week ago. The they said they're selling 20-25 units a month and are happy.

Same news that everyone has heard

The Daily Telegraph (UK) has a good article explaining all aspects of the production stop (unfortunately behind a pay wall).

The popular billionaire-backed bespoke SUVs are a favorite of overlanding and off-roading drivers that like a touch of luxury in their ultra-capable exploration machines.

This halt, gives them to design out the RHD footwell intrusion and deliver an actual comfortable ride...? Maybe?

 

[ecohen2]

Ineos should just buy Recaro....

Maybe not. The body was clearly designed for a V engine before they settled on a straight 6 too late in the process. The milk carton IS the fix. It'll be "redesigned" when an 80g HiPo v8 option rolls off the line for wealthy wives and Miami scrotes.. Until then, enjoy your.... whats the term?... oh yes. Quirk.

If the fix of the footwell requires new tooling for panels....unlikely that it will come soon....

“Miami scrotes “ - going to take me some time to get over that one, and then I’ll inappropriately lose it one day in a meeting in Miami. Thanks for nothing.
