Sick of waiting

[CryHavoc]

Why not complain that no date has been set?
That's a good launch pad for the thread extension initiative : "Towards 200"
@Stu_Barnes should allow some ads. This thread is proving hugely popular.

But a date HAS been set...

17 May for pricing. 4 weeks later for orders...so 14 June. Unless that's "Ineos weeks" which seem to be akin to "Mexican minutes".

 

[CryHavoc]

Along the lines of said 17 May pricing for North America...

It's gonna be the most painful 47...FORTY SEVEN! Ye GODS!...days of waiting My liver has 47 days on the clock. Because when that pricing comes out, I'm either going to be all smiles (while my wallet silently weeps and crawls deeper in the drawer), or I'm just going to cut my liver out and beat the piss out of it with a bottle as that'll be more effective than simply drinking myself into a stupor of depression. So...it'll be a Grenny...or new suspension and exhaust for the Sequoia with a side of cirrhosis of the liver.

Just doing my part on the road to 100!
Ordered 20th May, no contract, no production, no much from Ineos at all really, but happy to wait so all the bugs are ironed out. Have had my time with the prototypes and looking forward to when mine finally arrives.
Have really enjoyed reading the various forum posts as well and looking forward to customers reviews to come out shortly after deliveries.

Right!!!

So on the 18th May you can launch into an “Oh My God they promised an update and they’ve failed us” post, and then continue that rant until they do. And then continue the rant as the “communication told us nothing, they should have told us more!!” for another seemingly endless period of time.

I'm assuming this auto-locks when moving? I've known clever dogs to use door handles...

You go you good thing.

You go you good thing.

I mean...the road IS pretty hard and the pain pretty intense

Righto, off to bed now, early start in the morning.

You northerners should be able to get this puppy up to 96 or so by the time we wake tomorrow I’d assume.

Challenge lobbed, as he hides under the sheets.

Interesting factoid to share. Once you’ve paid in full, the on line account page does update to state “paid in full”. However, it also still tells me i’m still in production but the cat has been at the dealer for six weeks..

I think many of us are in a similar boat. If I am priced out, I don't know what my next step will be - I already sold my truck so who knows?

@Ever Pragmatic, does that mean they now have 2-3 days to hand over your car? Can't quite remember what the contract states.

Oof...yeah I'm fortunate that this will be a third vehicle and second dedicated adventure one. If I pull the trigger, I'm not dumping another cent into our Yota and will, likely, put it up for sale shortly after. Even though it could be upwards of a year before delivery, I'd rather a) take the money to pay stuff off and b) keep from messing it up on a trail If it's too expensive, I'll freshen her up for more years of adventure!

I wish…. I think it’ll be two weeks from yesterday but that is a total guess. It needs the final ecu update from IA and a few pipe changes - steering/brake related I think. It’d be sweet to get it next week but part of the Ineos experience is waiting.

@Ever Pragmatic , I would be concerned to make full payment until the car was ready for collection, given INEOS' track record on delays. I'm surprised payment was requested given work still needs to be done on the car. Was there no option to wait?

I’m pretty relaxed about paying in full and I’m also confident that they will follow through. The fact I’m fully paid up and that the car is with the dealer, should put me at the top of the pile for delivery. My thinking being that once the software is updated in the next few days, and the two pipes changed, I’ll be good to go. I’ve bet my wife that it’ll be registered next week. It’d be sweet get it for the Easter weekend, but I think it’s more like the week after, or the one after that, or May. One of them….. I hope..

I agree.
I visited my dealer yesterday and the G is one of the next in line for its PDI.
I am told it still needs a final software update and therefore a week or so away.
It was suggested to wait a few days before paying as it wont speed anything up.
One point of concern was the lack of some accessories.
Missing will be the rear door table which i am not concerned about but the Rhino rack i am told wont be available till JULY!!
That is a bit of a problem and wondered if anyone else who has ordered the rack has been told the same.

@Paul Cooper , I have seen on Facebook several members visiting their cars/dealers to find various missing accessories such as side steps, roof bars, cargo barriers etc. I guess folks are a bit over a barrel: Pay in full, take the car and wait for the missing accessories; or not pay and risk losing your car!

A neighbour took delivery of his new Discovery back in Sept 22 - it only had one key. He was promised by his JLR dealer that he would get the second key in a few months. 6 months later and he is still waiting for his second key!
