Americas US Production has started (previously Start of US production?)

[DCPU]

So one of the great things for car owners in the US has to be the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) and submissions made by manufacturers that are then publically available.

Here one (with some other obvious errors) that states production started on 1st June 2023:

INEOS AUTOMOTIVE LIMITED - MID

I think they are going to struggle on those weight limits

 

[DCPU]

Maybe one of our US members can shed some light on that, but there's also this:

INEOS AUTOMOTIVE AMERICAS LLC - MID

No idea but just noticing a subtelty that the Ineos submission referenced Class 2E, where the above reference shows only Class 2.

Some light reading below on vehicle weight classes in the US. Page 52 may shed some light on the 2E classification above.

I suspect they probably did make 50-100 USA compliant type of vehicles in June or July. That is what we will test drive in the coming month or two.

That fits in with the ones that are sitting at the docks right now awaiting clearance.

40 units came to North America, or at least that was the plan; 2 per dealer

Ineos has missed EVERY timeline in North America by a mile

 

[ADVAW8S]

@DrahthHunter remember the trend is your friend. Our ROW counterpart experienced the same thing.

 

[LC0013]

What does “ROW” mean?

 

[f1rst1]

ROW - Rest of the World

The longer the vehicle is delayed can mean the more time Ineos has to fix the issues (big fantasy I tell myself)

 

[ArtCee]

My pre-order page on the Ineos website now states "In Production". I'm going to take that as a good sign!

Holy cow- mine too! So freaking exciting!

Ha. Yes, ditto. As a Canadian, with our deliveries lagging behind the US, I want to believe there's a silver lining.

Best case: Canadian deliveries are delayed by two months but that means our vehicles get a few more bandaids while still on the production line.

Likely case: Canadian deliveries are delayed by six months and our vehicles are the same, with problems discovered and fixed via the usual trips to and from the dealer.

Same. Although the estimated build month has a “-“ next to it.

The big question though. Will I get my Grenadier before @DaveB ……..
