Americas Picked up My Grenadier!

And there is only one local dealer from which to get a quote...

CARTEL

For the red letters, I ordered them from Clive at Diginate like all of the European guys were saying to do. Total was less than $40 shipped to the US, and they arrived in about a week.

Can you post a website/link?

Red letter A

Hi, Please can anyone who has successfully changed the “A” on the bonnet and rear door to red - let me know the best way, I can’t imagine getting a good enough finish with paint, is an adhesive vinyl an option? This would be so good to be incorporated into the build, to highlight the Grenadier...

Don't know if anyone else has had this experience but I checked my order today and delivery has been moved from Q1 to Q2 2024. Gives me more time to save up, but now I will hold off on my plans to order from Buzz Overland and Tougher until I am sure the truck is here .

Why is everyone suddenly so worked up about the speed limit warning? I am sure the option to alter the speed limit alert will be added in a software update (if it is not there already). Also, when I used to have Bmws - there was an option to alter the alert threshold. And my dealer was also able to program auto start/stop so it does not reset on a restart. These are all trivial things that Ineos can easily add especially since they are using the same iDrive system as Bmw.

As you quite rightly point out. Adjusting the speed warning can be found in the sub menus as well as on this forum.

 

[Cheshire cat]

@Offroad, can you confirm if the start/stop button was removed or still there and just need to push it off after you start the truck. Think some confusion in the chains above. Thanks

Start / Stop button must be activated if engine is switched off. Not a big deal. I got used to it in a couple of days.

Never happened on my demo - so they had better address before I pick mine up at the end of the month otherwise this is a show stopper. Something chirping, clicking or doing anything distracting I cannot disable easily/permanently will end my Grenadier journey before it even starts. I'm going to think positive that this was a complete oversight or software issue that did not plague JUE477.

I would hope the company is listening close to this forum - install the nanny state system in some other market - maybe North Korea. Everyone needs to be active on the forum with their opinions here

Is that not a question for the US government rather than Ineos?
My vehicle here in the UK didn’t come with the annoying gremlins you mention. I have the start/stop button which I have to press every time I fire up the engine. I have sub menus from which I can get rid of the annoying bong every time I exceed a speed limit.
I have no issues that make me regret buying the vehicle. I guess the one thing that has helped me through the process of buying a brand new vehicle from a brand new manufacturer is patience and a desire to make the vehicle my own with the help of the aftermarket. Just like I had to do with my Harley Davidson.

If only you knew, who rides Harley’s stateside. You would be heading straight to your local Moto Guzzi dealership…

That's kind of unfair. I have had a Harley since 1970. I am an attorney and have no skulls or other such insignia. I ride with the Patriot Guard Riders to honor fallen veterans. Never saw a Moto Guzzi at any of the funerals.

I think it is dependent on where you live. In Indiana, it’s kinda a rough crowd.

My dad’s friend is a surgeon in downtown Chicago, he rides his Harley, blasting jazz music, on his commute to northwestern medical daily. Cool dude.

I’m not getting letters done…

As a package: letters on the hood (contrast A) and the A on the rear door: $295

I’ve never wrapped a vehicle, so I have no idea (I assume it’s expensive).

I ordered the three Lambdas in wrap vinyl from the UK and they were under $20 each I got a red and a black set.

Very nice. I have the red A but would like some black decals for the other letters. Has any body done that yet or knows where I can source ?
edit :- I’ve emailed Diginate to see if I can get black lettering for bonnet and red for rear wheel cover/lock box.

pickof up on the reference since RDA was in both MacGuyver and Stargate.

For the red letters, I ordered them from Clive at Diginate like all of the European guys were saying to do. Total was less than $40 shipped to the US, and they arrived in about a week.

Ordered from Clive at Diginate. I first sent an inquiry for Order # D84827. Apologies to the poster who specified that order number. I forgot his name. Clive will respond, asking you to create an account. He will then drop the order in your cart.

All – I picked up my Grenadier earlier this week from Regal in Atlanta. They did a great job with the handover. I think I was the first delivery in the Southeast so I got the full RIG experience with the Owner, General Manager, and a whole team of other great people.

I love the Scottish White Color. It's not a Bright White like you see on Range Rovers or G-Wagons. It's more of an Eggshell and looks really sharp in my opinion. I know a lot of people went with the steel wheels. I made a last-minute change before ordering and went with the 17” Alloys. Again, I was surprised at the color, which is more of a dark grey metallic, and love it. Especially with the BFG K02s.

All of my add-ons were installed pre-delivery except the Checker Plate which will hopefully be available soon. They are easy to install so not worried about that when the time comes.

I logged about 250 miles driving back to Nashville. This included one obligatory stop at Buc-ee’s on the way back and a refill at Costco when I got back to Nashville. It drives very well at highway speeds. More corrections than driving a newer Range Rover but not bad.

I’ve had a chance to put some city miles on it over the last few days. The steering-related stuff that people have been discussing isn’t an issue or even noticeable to me.

The one issue, and it is unfortunately ‘by design,’ is the newly released ADAS system for the 2024 models. ADAS has Lane Departure, Traffic Sign Recognition, Intelligent Speed Assist, and a few other things, is ON by default and must be turned OFF fairly deep in the display menu every time you restart the vehicle.

It’s hard to explain without experiencing it but the warning beeps and clicks are beyond annoying. For example, the clicking for ISA starts at 1 MPH over the speed limit in most cases and it’s like fingernails on the chalkboard to me. That’s even with the sound turned down to the lowest level.

This process to turn it off, which is CRAZY To me is 10 STEPS:

CarPlay > Ineos > Settings > Vehicle Settings > Vehicle Functions > ADAS Systems > Intelligent Speed Assist > Over Speed Warning > Over Speed Warning OFF > Carplay
Note: My startup screen is Carplay

AND, you have to do it EVERY SINGLE TIME you start the vehicle.

I am hoping for a software option / fix. However, it says in the manual that these features can be changed, but again, not saved after turning off the vehicle. Page 136 in the manual is attached

Overall, Looks great, rock solid on the road, and very happy with the fit and finish. But that one issue is killing the experience.

Isn't that "standard" operations on all cars? Turn engine off all goes back to reset.

Absolutely. There’s several threads about decals running at the moment.

Congratulations to you @Offroad on your Grenadier.

Just got word from RDS that I can plan for final delivery of my IG mid to late next week. Have buyers order in hand, financing secured, just have to line up insurance. The cause of my delay in delivery has been the arrival of accessories I ordered post production.
