MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

[N2STY]

Bad news for me this morning
I just made the dreaded phone call to Arnold Clark in Glasgow as we've had zero updates since we placed the order for the Blue long range Trophy on 15th Jan. Estimated delivery was 25th April. I've been hoping no news was good news. He's just told me that it's pushed back to June!!
He went to great lengths to tell me that they've placed so many orders for these cars that Arnold Clark have been told not to place any more orders for them as MG can't keep up with it!!
So, right now I'm disgusted that they haven't bothered to contact me to tell me that the car I ordered with a wait of 3 months still has a wait of 3 months and we're 2 months further down the line!!!
So if I wait another 2 months for the next update will I be told yet again that I have to wait a further 3 months? I need a plan B.
So if anybody knows of any brand new Standard Range stock anywhere in the UK please let me know. In fact I might just start a new thread for that.
I'm the kind of guy who buys what's available to buy now, not rely on promises from salesmen, so I need to start shopping all over again.

As people have said there are a few out there look at auto trader I know perrys aylesbury have a black trophy SR and Palmers hemel Hempstead have 2 LR

There was a few SR models being offered last week, and I sure you could find one available.
Try the lads at the Chorley Group !.
Waiting is never good, we waited four months plus for our original ZS EV and then it turned up one day, with four others without any notice !.
Prior visibility for the dealers is really poor, you have to consider how hard this must be, trying to run a business and keep the customers happy is extremely difficult.

trying to run a business and keep the customers happy is extremely difficult.

Problem is, a lot of them don’t try. My dealer has never contacted me to tell me that delivery has been delayed beyond the January date that my paperwork says, let alone being put back further…

Totally agree, the dealers are getting frustrated as well as the customers. Its just a waiting game tbh.

Hi guys I ordered my new zs trophy connect long range on Nov 7 last year so I don't mine waiting but I do mind waiting without a delivery date we were first told February then April maybe now maybe June surely they must know dates 5 months after my order. Does anyone have an idea?

Viking Adventure is still unloading, how would the dealer know what's on board, most dealers don't know what's coming until its unloaded

I see viking adventure has just recently left I hope mine was on it no phone call as yet I'm ready after 7 months of waiting

Is it dealer order or a lease company?

Hi , we are waiting for our mg zs long range since November 21, with all that's going on in the world now , we are starting to have worries about supple of spare parts and resale value in the future. Especially if China starts to openly support Russia, has anyone any thoughts.

Picked the ZS EV Trophy up on Tuesday. Experience at the dealership a breeze. Had dramas with my insurance company refusing to insure me on the car so had to change company. Car did the 260 mile journey home beautifully. One stop to feed us and the car and got home with 40%. Cars been a range monster around town since then and all was great until today. Just popped to Asda and getting an airbag fault.

I am from the family of people who like to be kept in the picture, even if there is nothing to say !.
But on call to my sales person a few months ago, he said some customers have objected to be called unless there is a car at the dealers !.
Some customers object to being called unless there is car available.
Some are extremely rude on the phone.
You can’t please all of the people, all of the time I guess !.

I may be wrong but I'm sure someone said that was the last of the deliveries for a while!
