Idle speculation on the cause of the delay..

[bigleonski]

Could carpet problems be deemed a software issue?
If so this might explain EVERYTHING

More soft fall I would have thought.

It's idle speculation but I believe the carpet issue has been well covered...

The whole batch and hold saga is gathering dust.

I wait every hour for a call from ineos that my late ordered IG will come next week because I ordered without carpet!

Should we call in Sir James Dyson, he knows how to stop things from gathering dust...at least the Grenadiers have got to the dust stage.

In 2006 we stayed at a B&B on a farm near Malmesbury; JDs house was 2 fields away. Hearing unexpected laughter, I pulled myself up a tall wall to peer in, where the fam were having a jolly party!

Yeah, a "pile" of rubbish. Pull the other one.

 

[bigleonski]

Hmmmm, I’ve been afraid this issue would remain looming.

 

[Tazzieman]

I think I can even see a pattern developing

weave your magic Tazzieman...bugger I have just pulled a thread

I heard that the real reason for the delay in Ineos Grenadier deliveries is a carpet moth infestation, something no vehicle manufacturer has ever encountered before.
In an audacious plan for industrial sabotage, JLR have spent the last five years developing genetically engineered insects that eat polyester floor mats, code name 'Axminster Filibuster'.

Carpet ?

Thousands of brand new cars are waiting in rain and dust due to a carpet problem ?

I am not amused of being presented such an explanation by Ineos.

His words - Interior quality issues were the holdup and made particular mention of carpet .. indicating there were other issues.

No mention of software.

I don't have carpet... where's my GREN!

Just behind mine!

Maybe problems are related to Ineos' JV with Moskvich:

“Moskvich” is back… back to the factory. They recall all 86 cars sold due to computer errors.​

.............................. 'Axminster Filibuster'.

That deserves to be a band name!

I heard the real reason Ineos cannot deliver Grenadiers to owners yet is because they are struggling to get the carpets out of transport mode on arrival at the dealer. In transport mode the floor mats are limited to a top speed of 10mph, which results in them migrating towards the rear of the vehicle as it approaches higher road speeds, obstructing the driver's view through the rear window and applying excessive drag to the vehicle's progress. Drivers who have attempted to accelerate quickly have also reported serious carpet burns.

To avoid passenger injuries and further delays, the carpet mats are all being replaced with aftermarket rubber mats with a speed rating of Q or higher

Today's reason ~ they didn't want to distract from Ford's big launch:

Grenadier Axminster ! Shagtastic!

As far as I know mine is still coming with carpet. It's been listed in all my contracts to date and I haven't had any word from IA to say it's been removed.

I asked my dealer and he told me that one delivered car has carpet.
