Americas Who doesn’t want to wait (or is this a bad sign that buyers are backing out?)

[bradb622]

I’m not sure what the website says means much. Mine is listed as ‘In Production’ and it’s been in my driveway for almost two weeks.

It was worth the wait by the way, never been so impressed by a vehicle.

Two cancelled orders and people are using it to reaffirm their personal politics, lol.

I guess I missed the politics in this thread until I read your post!

I fully recognize this isn’t an IA dealer, but this is why dealer protection legislation should be reviewed.

I placed an order with Red Nolan in Colorado, but that Mike Ward dealer is 10 minutes from my house asking a $45K premium over MSRP. What a rip off. I’ll wait for my specific build to get what I want.

Would love to know if someone from the dealership bought that (with the intention of flipping) or if they took it as a “trade in”.
My guess is given history of new releases in the past few years ( Bronco Raptor) and dealers looking to add massive ADM the former could be the case, but if not I wonder what they gave someone in trade in value

I know everyone is in a hurry to get theif Grenadiers but taking delivery after the first software update and other minor things that may come up are addressed isn’t a bad situation to be in, especially if you aren’t close to a dealer.

Seeing the early deliveries and the rapid fixes for the few issues that has been found so far makes me feel good about getting mine a bit after the first wave into the US market. I feel I should thank those who got the first deliveries.

If anything I wish Ineos would have an cs ambassador on the forum keeping people up to date with issues and findings. Sure we have to do our part and not griping too badly about pet peeves, but just having them acknowledge issues would be a good thing.

the adas issue for North America even if no solution is within sight would be something I would have appreciated if ineos said "we hear you our early users, no this won't change right now but I'll track and update you if this changes. In the meantime this may help, add adas to the favorites shortcut this way".

But it says right at the bottom it's a fair deal! Why?

I feel like I wrote this myself. Completely agree.

I think I'm leaning away from taking delivery after seeing how many electrical gremlins still persist after the software update. I really need to trust the vehicle for my overland travels, but I simply can't. Mechanically, it's perfection, but I need to see progress on the electrics.

My jeep (JL), coming from the shoddiest manufacturer in existence, has not had a single electrical issue, yet there are barely any Grenadiers without issues.

For what it’s worth, I took delivery about two weeks ago as did my brother and zero electrical issues between the both of us. Forums are always weighted towards the problems that need to be fixed, and rightly so, but I don’t think it always reflects the larger picture.

I've done over 1900 miles since Dec 26.

What electrical gremlins?

The buggy fuel gauges, even after the software updates, are a deal breaker for me.

What's buggy about the fuel gauge?

A lot of reports of inaccurate fuel level readings, even after the software updates.

To the best of my knowledge the MY24 vehicles have not received a software update (since arrival in the US). They do not use the same firmware levels/revisions as the MY23s
