Your "Grenadier STATUS" banner (ownership numbers)

[Stu_Barnes]

Drop down fileds now exist for...

Reservation Holder
Grenadier Ordered
Grenadier Delivered

 

[Stu_Barnes]

If anyone wants the banner on their account for their "reservation / order / delivered" status then you have to make a selectionfrom the dropdown menu in your Account Details.

Update your status by all means but I won't necessarily see that so the only guaranteed way is as indicated below.

Order == Contract signed ? OR
Order == Configured and 'ordered' with second payment ... ?

 

[Stu_Barnes]

Both the same to me @emax of course I've not signed anything other than the reservation stuff. If you feel the need to distinguish then there is the status update

@Stu_Barnes
Hm, I had made a reservation in September 2021 and payed the reservation fee.
In May, I ordered one and payed the second fee. But I haven't signed any contract yet.

So I have ordered one ... ?

That's at leastwhat I have now ticked in the profile - though this doesn't apparently come into effect in real time.

@DCPU
> So, is that saying they didn't have the parts for these, never mind the ramped up production series?
I don't really see any difference. The PTOs are basically the same cars as the customer cars. The production itself may be different: slower, more manual work, but not very different in terms of parts.

Sadly realtime is not an option yet. The banners for reservation, ordered and delivered require manual update by me.

 

[emax]

That was no complaint, it was more kind of a question. ;-)

Realtime or not - who cares.

 

[Stu_Barnes]

I'm updating them every evening at the moment as people get used to the new forum etc. The nit will probably be every few days. Or if someone pings me to update things...

How about…

Reservation Holder
Order Placed
Grenadier Owner

There’s a special place reserved for gloaters to be flamed by the community @emax

Hi Stu,

For understanding and since I could not find it anywhere: order placed does not mean the second deposit made but rather a binding and signed contract?

I had changed to order placed since the intention is unchanged and also the second deposit was made. I am still waiting for the contract as I am sure many / all are. Order placed we use when exactly?

Many thanks.

My assumption was that Grenadier Ordered meant second deposit paid and eagerly awaiting contract signing.

I have seen that some have their 'rank' (whatever you call it) together with the "Reservation holder" tag shown below their avatars.

e.g.:

John Smith​

Tire Kicker​

Grenadier Ordered

This is not the case for others (e.g. me). Did I miss something in the profile?

My 2c…

‘Ordered’ is when you’ve signed the contract. Any monies put down prior to contract signing is a refundable reservation on a build slot.

I like the idea of ‘Ordered’ in this manner, as there is a solid tag for ‘I’ve signed, bring it on’.

As said, just my 2c.

Let’s just stick with the INEOS view, that you’ve ordered one when you pay your full deposit.

That was my thinking. But from the interest in this thread I think it well self regulate pretty well

These legacy tags are in the process of being changed. For a new system. This is by hand unfortunately and I’m up to the 400’s now.

Very grateful for all the work you admins put into running the site. Many thanks to you.

Me as well. Been refreshing to find a new forum nowadays.

Ineos have me listed as having placed an order so I consider it order placed.

 

[DaveB]

When I paid the 2nd deposit I got an email from Ineos titled "Your order confirmation".

So they think you have ordered.

Also, is anyone a reservation holder anymore?

I thought you had to move to the next stage within a certain period (2 weeks/1 month) or the reservation lapsed?*

* Leaving aside the issue of timely returns of deposits.

I was told that if I didn't order by end of July my reservation would still stand but I would lose an early 2023 build slot. I received that email in the middle of July. Pretty sure I also got one in June.

Now that I got used to the new site, I find it way better than the previous version.

Good job, Stu!
