First Delivery?????

[grenadierboy]

About 35 production days since #1 rolled off the line back in October

INEOS must have produced at least 800 cars since #1

In October I think Mark Tennet said full production (@100 cars a day) would ramp up in December

If you're referring to this video, recorded on 6th October, then this is what he said:

Every dealer will need 2-3 demo vehicles minimum first
200 dealers 600 vehicles,
Ineos offices add another 600 for company and press vehicles.
No customers will get their cars until after the long way home event is over and marketing done.
I think they will want customers to get vehicles in their hands the week before Christmas for sure

In addition to what DaveB wrote I am sure that the planed ramp up of production is not as fast as they assumed and communicated in October.
My production date went from December to January. As they most certainly knew in October which cars would be in the production line this year nearly every delay will be based on a slower production than estimated.

Anyway its better that they do it properly than that we have the first recall in April...

 

[grenadierboy]

All good points.

As per Mr Tennant's promise - I think it's time for him to do another update before Christmas.

Is the grenadier-colour in post #36 magic mushroom?

No. It's Scottish White & it's not quite that creamy. It's the lighting.

Sorry I meant the ”inky_black” who posted re the facebook page of the dealer

Unfortunately, I am not the lucky one, I am also missing a trailer hitch on the Grenadier shown in the video

The cars from the video of the 1st post where still PT03, no demos for a dealer…

 

[DCPU]

How have you identified them as PT03s?

Also, weren't PTO3s meant to be dealer demo stock?

 

[Pat-Ard]

No, talked to my dealer
The demos should arrive in Decembre, latest January

It's worth pointing out how quickly things change and even the giants like VW are calling it "chaos" right now:

"BERLIN – Volkswagen Group’s main plant in Wolfsburg is building well under 400,000 cars a year, less than half its capacity, because of "flat-out chaos" in the supply chain, VW brand chief Thomas Schaefer said.

Speaking in a live interview with local newspapers in Wolfsburg on Tuesday, Schaefer said suppliers were cancelling deliveries with one night's notice, and chips were selling with up to an 800 percent price surcharge.

"It's a catastrophe for the business," Schaefer said. "These are absurd sums," he added, speaking of chip prices on the open market."

We are all lucky because all the calculations in Grenadier are done by hamsters, possums, meerkats or prairie dogs, depending on the market.

And they are armored! Though I am not sure if waterproof.
That´s the great thing in starting the sale one year later in the USA. They have time to choose the perfect calculation units for the climate!
