Well, after almost a year I finally have taken delivery of the car (Trophy Connect LR in white)! Yesterday was a bit frustrating because the car was meant to arrive at 11am, however the dealership hadn't charged the car! So it ended up being delivered around 5pm. However despite all the...

I've just received the call from the dealership! Delivery next Wednesday. FINALLY

I've been waiting since December 2021 with Octopus and got the link to fill out the details for a license check today. This is a good sign, right? Typically how long have other OEV customers waited between license check and car pick up?

I got a call from Octopus on Friday where they offered me the MG4… at a monthly higher price than the ZS EV I’ve been waiting almost a year for. After the call I realised that I’m starting to get the impression that they want people to cancel/change car so they can lease my ZS EV for a...

I'm super happy for you! It seems your wait may nearly be over. Did you find out it was awaiting transport via MG or via Octopus?

My order number from Octopus is 300006xxxx and I've been told end of November supposedly

I am also waiting on OEV order (White TCLR) from January which is apparently going to be end of November. The tracker changed last week to say November 2022 - Jan 2023. They originally told me that MG had told them it was going to be delivered on the 31st November. I had to remind her that...

I ordered in early January and have been pushed back too. I spoke with the Octopus rep (their customer service is outstanding) and they've told me there have been some ZS EV's trickling through and that some people who ordered have got their cars which is slightly promising. Apparently they're...

Same...

I think leasing at this moment in time is pretty sensible. With the advancements in battery technology moving relatively quickly, the average range of an EV is sure to rise in the next few years. I also think as more car companies expand their EV offering and there'll be more affordable EV's on...

What makes you think that? ?

All of my contact with Octopus has been absolutely fantastic. Their team is incredible, very responsive to any request and give me regular updates (not that there's much to update on as MG are useless)

When did you put your order through with Octopus? I ordered Jan 2022 (MG have told me that the dealer placed the order with them early Dec 2021) and am praying I'm not going to receive the same email...

I don't know how long you've been on this sub, but I'm pretty sure the £1500 penalty wasn't introduced until after MG realised they were having issues delivering the cars. So the likelihood is that all the lease cars are in fact allocated to individuals, and have been for quite some time...

Apologies, you're absolutely right about the orders going through the same as personal orders - my point was more that (as I understand it) the lease companies put through a large number of orders once the car goes on sale (in the case of Octopus, who I'm leasing off - this was Dec 2021) This...
