Ineos Grenadier drive event

[Count Orlok]

Queen’s Red is my favorite Grenadier color. What’s your build sheet/option list look like?

safari windows
front/rear lockers
winch
checker plates
ladder
recovery

nobody asked but thus far but compared to the R1S the Grenny has more wind noise, even sitting still the safari windows in heavy winds light up.

Also, the Genny has less range than the R1S in conserve. Insurance is $25 lower per 6 months than a NN R1S.

probably keeping both. Might buy a second Genny for NM.

Nice. I hope you're enjoying it. I've not seen pics stateside yet. We opted for the R1T and R1S (while also keeping our Duramax) as a better fit than adding the grenadier to the stable. I even bought the scale model in El Doret blue to tide me over, but all of the problems owners were reporting in addition to poor reviews on corporate ineos were enough to push me to the R1T after test driving an R1S and cancel my order.

If they only had a manual diesel here, I'd have committed. Dare to dream.

waiting for the Rivian to return since it seems anathema to post ICE pictures to an EV forum without some EV content.

The Count is on his third tank of high test and lamenting how spoiled he is with the R1S.

today is the first morning The Count has faced this dilemma. He needs to go to Capital City and this is the first day the R1S and Grenny are at the same house with The Count. How can he pick one and leave the other one to wallow in sorrow or even manifest into a jealous rage?

Put one on a trailer. Drive one down, swap vehicles, drive the other back.

Personally, I'd be putting the grenadier through its paces. I'd be worried about warranty issues and identifying them early.

Take both.

 

[Count Orlok]

Someone needs to come up with a way to splice the DNAs of the Grenadier with Rivian R1. Please.

just a note that ordering opened for the Quartermaster today for those that want a non-gladiator gladiator.

I finally saw one in my neck of the woods last week. Very cool in person!

Saw my first one today on interstate 80 near Fairfield , CA. A blue Trailmaster edition ...not sure if it was Shale or Brittania. It looked so familiar that I didn’t realize it was a Grenadier until I noticed the stamping on the hood. It was towing a green Porsche 914. Me thinks someone has a car fetish.
