MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

Collected my ZS EV LRTC (Red) from my dealer Richmond MG (Portsmouth) today. May 19th order...
Confirmed with salesman that it wasn't a cancellation transfer but suddenly turned up out of the blue last week. Build date mid June . Smooth hand over, bound phone to car while going through the infotainment system , all in good order. All in all, a good experience dealing with Richmond.
Only negative, no OEM mudfflaps for the mk2 available yet. asked them to Email me when avalable to order...
Can you give us your 10 digit order number now you've collected? I would like to see if it's greater than mine, then ask MGUK to explain about allocating by order.
 
Attached is another email from mg after my complaint what do you guys think
That is crazy, how conveniently they lost grip of the language 🤣 Just go back and ask for an explainatio of wdh that was

On different note, there is no real order, just your luck, seen orders getting delivered with in few months and others like me waiting almost a year with no end in sight

I wonder if a big load got built around May/June, but couldn't be shipped due to local covid restrictions then another load got built, parked in front of the first batch and thats why the mix match of new and old orders are now coming through.🤔
 
Anyone know what ships are on there way?…if only there was a topic for ships coming in, we could call it..err..how about “shipping updates” that’s as good as any..😂🤣🤣
A better thread title would be Order/Delivery Updates.

The shipping thing is just isn't relevant on MG orders with the lack of build to order transparency.
 
A further update. from Octopus EV. My car (MG ZS EV SE Black ordered 21/12/21) has indeed been built. See below.

Your MG's been built and is waiting overseas for available transportation. We can indeed see your car due to arrive in December..

Local factors and current affairs would obviously prevent a speedy delivery and most EVs are shipped on very slow-moving boats to reduce carbon emissions.


It looks as though the only hold up is getting the car to you, so we're nearly there.

The wait could be over.

That is essentially what I have been told since July when my car was apparently built. Have a mid October delivery date. hopefully its 2022 not 2023, but wouldn't be surprised. Order date was 6th Jan.
 
I've sent this back to them let's see what cut and paste one I get this time. It's like watching art attack all over again as a child

Received a call from dealer an hour ago, he told me that no ZS is likely to now be available and straight up told me to switch to either the 5 ( new model ) or the 4 , both of which he will have on display in November with deliveries due in February

Effectively my ZS order is now dead

Just to clarify, I had a Kia E Soul bought a month ago but discovered afterwards that it wasn’t eligible in Ireland for Hackney or taxi work, reason being boot size, I hope to do local Hackney work so had to cancel

Who did you order from again?

I think he's selling you porkies there. Maybe to avoid the hassle of dealing with customers subject to long waits.

They are v slow coming through for sure, but they haven't stopped.
 
Well on the other note Vwfs was very helpful and said I can extend my lease with no extra fees involved only downside is a very expensive service from Skoda
 
I asked Tunbridge Wells MG if they have had any Long Range cancellations. They said that they haven’t which sounds a bit suspicious given how many Carwow orders they must have had.
 
Hi
i was having tea with my sales person last weekend and we kept get interrupted by phone call for people looking for new cars and each time he was giving a possible date December for next shipmen Depending on the car.
Wow!!! Having tea? Is this in Knightsbridge? I was lucky to get a machine made, cup of hot dish water when I went in to my local dealership 😂
