More than 11000 orders in 80 days.
Well done!
My number is just over 20000, placed on Sept 12th, but recorded a week later.
Not really worried about that, I really just want it by April 2024, with all the running changes made, and accessory companies in full swing.

I did this before.
New Beetle #8 sits in my barn. Worst car full of gremlins ever assembled.

I am kinda conflicted on this. On one side I am happy about others getting their car on the other hand people here in the initial markets (EU/AUS) are still waiting and not getting any news about their order.

I'm with you on this, order place August 22 still nothing.

I wonder when someone in Europe will receive a MY 24 - someone who already has one on order.

I am biased of course, but American and Canadian customers were able to place a deposit at the same time as everyone else. While the ROW was able to spec their orders, and enjoy a lower first wave price, we waited. At some point we need to be allowed to jump into the production queue. There are probably hundreds of people in Europe who have their Grenadiers but made a deposit after me.

Then again if you're a first wave hand raiser ANYWHERE, and you're not getting your car until after people who stroll into a dealer and order there, you have my full support.

It all comes down to keeping the big market(s) happy. While the US is the largest single country market for the Grenadier, if memory serves me correctly, it has a larger percentage of "lifestyle" (I think I used the correct terminology, someone who has paid close attention to Greg's videos can correct me) buyers than, say Australia or most (any?) of the European countries, which make them a bit more fickle in terms of waiting to get their "next new thing". I believe Ineos understands this very very well, and thus has bracketed a substantial chunk of production capability through this part of the calendar year to producing vehicles for the US to get vehicles to those buyers ASAP. They were very clear from early this year about their build and delivery timelines, and despite a lot of heckling on the internet and even these forums (both by Stateside and international folks), are ahead of schedule for American deliveries.

I am a first day depositor with Ineos living here in the US, and all I've got to see so far is an enormous price increase.
I am very interested in the overland developments in the ROW, preparing for future adventures, Like a cast and blast along the Snake river in Idaho next fall. So, I see the glass as half full.

There is always the exchange rate too for helping decide what markets to produce and ship for, stronger dollar to pound means more profit when the funds are wired back to the UK.

Lucky Ineos that the dollar is on a slight upswing.

I hoping that by teh announcement on the 28th that they have more of our pre-orders brought further up to date. Otherwise the dealers will get slammed with a lot more questions…
