You know, The Grenadier looks like its being engineered with a lot of top-shelf components including bespoke parts. They also seem to be taking the proper engineering development steps for a well-baked product.
I see no reason this won’t be a completely affordable tractor like the Defender was...
But seriously, how do you buy expensive transmissions and engines from expensive manufacturers , then develop some of your own bespoke parts and then take years fine-tuning them, and then have someone else manufacture them for you and charge less than your vertically integrated competitors?
It looks like it’s going to be everything we all want it to be except affordable.

I’ll hold out on the judgement of “affordable” until I see actual pricing. i see they’re shooting for a $30k base, but that seems like a tall order.

If these start at 50k I’ll be impressed. No way they’ll hit 30k

That’s my guess too. They say they’re going to offer it in the US too, by using a direct model like Tesla, but I have doubts on that. It would be better if they paired up with an existing dealership group.
