Contract

"I had an email yesterday saying the contracts are being sent out on Tuesday 25th October…..we’ll see".

So the two weeks have elapsed and we all remain none the wiser, unsurprising but extremely disappointing. I dare say, much like our politicians, how many false promises can Mark Tennant make before we no longer believe a word he says? Any form of update, even if it was "no update" would at least constitute the keeping of a promise. As it is, I'm sure we'll all be patient; I certainly won't spit my dummy out but I know if I failed to communicate with my customers for pretty much any length of time, I would soon discover that I had no customers!

I completely agree with you.
If I treated my clients like this, my company would not exist a long time ago.

Unless they work late in to the evening, that hasn’t happened. News would soon reach this forum of contracts finding their way to perspective buyers.

The more I think about it, the more I am irritated by the direct “we’ll be in touch within two weeks” statement. Better to under promise and over deliver. Maybe my patience is worn thin by the seemingly constant bad news.

I don't think Mark Tennant intentionally made false promises. I think he was simply overtaken by reality.

However, he should have made a statement like "I apologise, but reality has caught up with us again" or something like that.

Some talk that the estimated build month page online will feature an update presently...

yes please Ineos - would settle a lot of uncertainty

a floating/ changing estimate is much preferable to silence

I believe the agent that telephoned me about the withdrawal of the nose highlight wrap said that contracts were going to be issued on the 27th.
So I expect to see something in my inbox tomorrow then…
Of course the month wasn’t stated

I received my contract today. I’m in Australia and when I eventually found out that delivery would be March/April I had to request a refund as we are heading off on a 12 month touring holiday mid February. Thought about delaying the start of the holiday but could just see that March/April could become April/May etc.
So I have already received my deposit back but just had to see if I could access and sign the contract, which I can. Expected delivery is March 14 with numerous caveats on that. No change to price.
Very tempted to sign just to see what happens.
I was a bit sad to let the vehicle go and have become sadder now that I’m specking up a Mazda bt50 to replace it. By the time I finish with the upgrades the bt will only be about 15k cheaper. I will have a winch though, long range fuel tank, greater payload and a few other goodies I couldn’t afford with the Ineos. But I’ll also have a worse ride, less comfortable seats, an ugly car, a less robust vehicle, no front rigid axle, less torque/power, no cool switches and a whole lot of jealousy when I see a grenny out there.
Do you think I should sign anyway???

Sign sign sign

However if you don’t, then perhaps I get to take your place in the queue

I got mine this morning but the stamp duty calculation was wrong

Yes. But I’m biased.

Hell yeah

Anyone got their contract yet?

Still awaiting mine ordered 18th May 2022 was due October build then .... will get there soon I hope

I’ll also have a worse ride, less comfortable seats, an ugly car

I wouldn't spend $100'000 for something ugly. In particular not if it's unconfortable and worse to ride than something else.

Even though I am biased as well: I'd sign the contract. Shouldn't be a big deal to sell it later with little loss or even profit if you don't like it.

Edit: removed decimal point ('locale' confusion ...)

Same here. Anxiously awaiting...

 

[emax]

No worries. They do it in batches.

Signed today, wanted to add leather seats, but failed in the process of doing that. I hope I won't regret ordering them.

So are you paying the price as per version 1.0 pricelist or version 1.1?

I’ve been told version 1.0 thankfully.
