You fell in love with the Gren. You are lovesick. You don't just want your car , you lust after it like the rest of us!

Ahh! the thrill of "the chase"....

Are we keeping track of last comms and how many days until we have a verified customer drive away? What country do we think we take the honors?

Something to keep you going:-

My Ineos Grenadier - On-Road Performance, Vision, Steering​

It would be interesting to know when his was built and whether he has the same steering system as the journalists tried in Scotland, or a later version Ineos seem to have been working on since.

No they were hand picked i think the OP was talking about us mere mortals (and footballers)

I received an email from INEOS on Wednesday asking for full payment, which i duly arranged.. Local dealer confirmed receipt, but hasnt been told by INEOS when he can release the vehicle.. sort of hurry up and wait..

It’ll need its dial in from IA to flash the ecu and two pipes changing. Brake and steering apparently.

Progress definitely. Just curious but has your agent completed all of the outstanding “recall” work required on your vehicle, if indeed it needs any? Have read on fb of folks who’ve paid same as you but the agent can’t release as they are waiting on parts and software update from IA.

I decided to leave the country for two weeks to give Ineos the opportunity to sort everything out. End of April I am on a conference in the city where my dealer is.
Some months ago I made jokes that I would possibly collect the car than. Now it’s not a joke anymore but a hope

he says its pretty much ready to go.. IA have carried out the software upgrades.. its just sat there waiting for IA to give him permission to release it

has IA or the agent been anymore specific on why the hoses/pipes are having to be changed?

Perhaps IA want to get critical mass for a big day of handovers. Call it G Day and leverage the pr. I aiming for mid April but wont be unhappy if I get it offered earlier.

As I understand:
1. The software update has been finalised and is now available
2. It is only certain vehicles following inspection that might require either or both a change of steering hose or brake pipe
3. If you had specified a towball, it might require to be replaced
4. It is possible not all accessories ordered are immediately available to be fitted to the vehicle
5. Pre delivery inspection to be carried out

“Quality control” was the main take away. The bits are in free supply and I didn’t get the impression it’ll be weeks, more like next week. Still this is Ineos, so anything is possible.

i think you're probably right.. dealer was hinting next 2 weeks..

Never! There’s no way they created this mess as a marketing scoop. They are just incompetent or had bad luck. But they will not be crazy.

Regarding your point 2. This could be the December build vehicles. My vin ends 680 and was built towards the end of week 2 in December and I need both pipes.
