Yup.

Order placed Tuesday. Parked in driveway thursday...

I was limited by the fact that it's a company lease through octopus - so was not free to pick and choose a dealership. For the record, my issue wasn't the long lead time (though that was annoying) but more the fact that MG are unwilling or unable to provide a delivery date for a car that is...

haha arguably the teslas are in demand too - top selling car in the UK in March was the Model Y... Difference is, they have a functional supply chain (or appear to)

Well, that's that. Tesla order placed, MG order cancelled. When you take so damn long to deliver a car that the customer gets an increase and a new car allowance between order and delivery, that's a risk you take :D So long and thanks for all the fish

Just received the following from my Octopus account manager person: They've offered me the option to change my order (white Mg4 trophy) to a different vehicle with shorter lead times. My tesla model y senses are tingling ...

Sounds to me like this may be a desirable feature. When the car deadlocks because of the key bug, wait for the window bug to let you out :D

Ah, so I should have a black roof. good.

Yes. Be glad, that thing was of the devil. Now, do you have a black roof?

When I ordered it, the black roof was standard....

I'll be effing grumpy if I don't have a black roof.

Centiglade is a slightly different scale to Centigrade :D

I've seen a few posts like this, where you need to set the internal temperature to something a lot higher than you would normally - try 24 or 25 and see if that's more comfortable? Seats and steering wheel would probably be more efficient though

I know this is off topic and I apologise, but I just got an update from Octopus! The car is real, and is somewhere on the planet between China and my house!

Mine's through Octopus so I don't have any flexibility on that. It's a fleet order so I believe it gets lower priority than others. Maybe I'll give Octopus a rev and tell them to widen their dealer net a bit.
