I had intended to put a deposit down, subject to confirmation of pricing, but to be honest after listening to that amateur presentation lacking the information I had expected, it just failed to inspire me to take the risk. Do you think they have chosen to do this launch too soon, before they have the facts themselves. Just guessing but is a potential competitor releasing something and Ineos felt they needed to get in first.


I think it's just the nature of these social media events, although not cheap to produce they can never be as polished as some of the things on mainstream TV.

Not forgetting the interviewees all have day jobs and may have minimal media training.

What info were you looking for?

Did I hear it right, we're waiting on an email containing a code that we have to use to place a reservation? 110 DCPU

Yes as I understand it~ email with a link and also your (unique?) reservation code.

Although I thought the lady said the emails had already been sent?

More of US arrangements here ~ several name checks for Canada:

https://us.newschant.com/auto/ineos-opens-orders-for-grenadier/

Not 75,000 then?
"The company says 63,000 hand-raisers have expressed an curiosity within the boxy off-road car globally, with 12,000 of these in North America."

More different warranty terms:
"The Grenadier probably might be lined by a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper guarantee, Clark stated. “We absolutely believe in this vehicle,” he added, “and stand behind it.”

Those two numbers happen to add up to 75k so perhaps the way it's been worded is a mistake? To be honest, the rest of the article is very poorly written. Darren

It’s alive now, but maybe only for registered users. Lots of nice colours to choose from. And all the options (as of this point in time).

I’m curious about roof load. Anybody know? Can you stand on the roof? Or does it need a rack?

You must do shorthand ~ well done.

#4 ~ must have been a miss-speak, that's just not possible, is it?

They've confirmed the online manual and parts diagrams ~ was it just online or will there be an offline version?

Target of 4k in the USA (Interesting) ~ was that the initial figure or the stretch target?


AirPods in and typing a mile a minute! I missed a bunch as I also had to eat lunch at the same time.

I can’t believe number 4 either. It may be obvious to others but I think they must have meant “South Africa” and even that is hard to believe.

I didn’t hear of the offline version for the manuals, just the online 3D parts catalog. I’d be shocked if they didn’t have one given the overall approach. The online option is cool though. Very handy.

I believe the US target was peak. I think that’s very, very doable if this thing is as good as it looks.

Me too, although it was a bit of a faff as it didn't recognise my account, wouldn't send me a link to reset the password...

To be fair, if you have a new Defender then you can subscribe (at a cost) to Topix and have full access to the same. The only way I can see this being different is if a free subscription for life comes with ownership.

Bit disappointed with the presentation and information released.


When you think that this was a presentation to launch a new vehicle where millions have been spent in development etc. you would have thought they’d have presented a more polished effort.
It was amateurish in the extreme........ as though it was cobbled together hours before the ‘show’ went live.
