1st SOP INEOS Grenadier

[Halliwell Jones Chester]

Couple of points for you all. NO customers have had a contract yet whether you're David Beckham or Jesus Christ, none. Demo fleet will be between 2-3 of different variants depending on you're expected volume size. Probably PTO-3 to start.

The agent that will be organizing our test drives is receiving one demo and another car that the dealer-principle of the group has ordered for his personal use and as an extra test vehicle...just wondering if the proportion of test vehicles equates to those ordered and interested parties in the local vicinity?

All only speculation because no information about volume coming off the line behind Sir Jim's.

However, it's worth remembering that average weekly production for the first 12 months was originally estimated at 300.

Probably lower for the first few weeks but still maybe by the end of October maybe INEOS will have produced 300 to 400 beautiful new Grenadiers.

Even INEOS Group employees purchasing a Grenadier have not had contracts from their dealers....(or discounts!) so not sure who these VIPs are.
I thought first month or so of production was allotted to demonstrators, press vehicles, sponsor cars and the winners of the return trip home competition of course.

I agree. There is no need for a conspiracy theory to explain. The simplest explanation is that they are focussed on getting the product right before delivering to customers. Given I expect to own the vehicle for 10 years plus, I don’t mind waiting until they are happy with it.

I have also just ordered a second as a farm vehicle after the early test drive reviews. There is nothing else like it (in the UK) and it is clearly built to take punishment and last. Concerns on driver footwell and low hanging undercarriage components seem to have been addressed.

On that basis it is good value at the launch price, as it will hold its value and the total cost of ownership will be low.

Agreed. Given that no contracts have been signed, the only cars currently running off the production line must all be demonstrators - or fleet buyers.

I think we'd know about it one way or another either through this forum or the handful of Grenadier Facebook Groups many of us will also belong to

To put your minds at rest, here is a small shot of the portal. Nobody has a contract yet.

So Sitecore is responsible for the website.

The picture suggests so.

I can confirm the "emotional" part.

Not to forget "rugged", "sustainable", "pushing hard" ...

Strange headline "Made in Moselle".

It's "Assembled in Moselle".

"Designing, engineering, building prototypes is one thing – but productionising is quite another.

Productionising. Now that's a new one on me. I'm normally pretty good with lexiconoknowledges!
