Izinto njengoba zinjalo, akudingekile ukuba ube yi-lynx ukuze ukubone lokho i-Opel Ampera yokuqala (siyajwayela umqondo wokuthi i-Ampera ne-Ampera-E bangabalandeli abaqondile, uma kuphela ngenxa yokufana kwegama nomqondo wemoto kagesi) kwakuyi-fiasco yangempela yokuthengisa kanye nesithombe somkhiqizo. Kodwa-ke, i-Ampera-E entsha ibonakala isidayiswe kakhulu ezimakethe ezithile, ikakhulukazi lezo lapho izimoto zikagesi zinenqwaba yabalandeli.
Ngokusho kwe-Automotive News eNorway i-Opel Ampera-E idlula ukubhuka okungu-4.000 iqinile. Sikhumbula ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kwaminyaka yonke kukagesi wenkampani yaseJalimane (kanye neChevrolet Bolt) kwakubekwe phakathi kwamayunithi ayizinkulungwane ezingama-25 noma angama-30, sibhekene nokungenzeka. ibhodlela lokukhiqiza yemodeli. Lesi simo sidala ukuthi izimakethe ezithile, njengeGermany, zingakwazi ukufinyelela emayunithi abezihlosile, njengoba kubonakala sengathi yonke imizamo yakwa-Opel igxile ekuhlinzekeni izidingo zamazwe adayisa kakhulu.
Kodwa-ke, kunethunzi elimnyama kakhulu phezu kwalesi simo, njengoba inhlebo isho lokho isignesha yombani ngeke yandise ukukhiqizwa kwemoto yakho. Isizathu esingaba ngemuva kwala mahlebezi ukuthi i-Ampera-E ikhiqizwa e-United States kuphela, futhi ukuletha imoto e-Europe kuyabiza. Lokhu kwenzeka naku-Tesla ngamamodeli ayo futhi yingakho inethiwekhi yayo yezinsizakalo ezisemthethweni nokuthengisa ezwenikazi iphansi kakhulu.
Ukuxazulula le nkinga, Abakwa-Opel bebezogcina ngokuvula uhlu lwabalindile lapho amakhasimende afuna i-Ampera-E azobhalisa kuyo. Njengoba izikhundla zigcwaliswa, amayunithi azoshiya umugqa womhlangano azokwabelwa kusukela ngo-December 18 (usuku oluqokelwe ukuqala kabusha ukukhiqizwa kwemodeli). Okwamanje kuyisixazululo esingcono kakhulu futhi kuphela, ngoba I-Opel ayikwazi nikeza usuku oluqondile lokufika kumdayisi wamakhasimende anentshisekelo yokuthenga le modeli.
Akuyona iGeneral Motors, noma iPSA Group (umnikazi wamanje we-Opel) benze izitatimende izikhulu ngakho. Kuzodingeka sibone ukuthi izehlakalo zenzeka kanjani futhi silinde umkhuhlane wokuqala wehle ukuze ukukhiqizwa kwe-Ampera-E kuzinze ngokwemvelo.
