Well done
@Susanna !.
And yet ANOTHER silver ZS EV to arrive !.
There does appear to be a few silver models on this latest shipment.
Which goes to clarify that MG is building cars in batches.
My brother has a silver Trophy LR on order also, I think he ordered it before March ???.
His dealer has it showing as awaiting transport ??.
Not sure if that is transport from the docks in the UK or CHINA !!!.
His dealer has been less than helpful or informative with the whole experience.
Never calls my brother, never returns his call's FROM my brother.
If he pays a call's at the dealership, he never gets the same story twice from him.
I know this is a very similar story across this forum.
For this reason alone, I refused to deal with them on either of my cars.
It's wrong, but I made the choice to travel to a dealer that is a 200 mile around trip, to get the service that I DID want and received !.
A happy customer, is a returning customer I say.
It appears to me that SOME of these "Old School" MG sales people are still truly living in the past. When they would sit behind there desks and think they have worked hard, if they have sold 6 cars in month.
The brand has REALLY moved forward in sales in the last couple of year, after the ZS EV was first released in 2019 but some have not kept pace, and are still conducing themselves at the same less urgent turtle pace as years gone buy.
When we bought our first ZS EV - I asked the sales person, what has been the interest in the car like ?.
He said that he found it REALLY strange that his phone was ringing more now than EVER before and people just asking about this new electric car and very little else ???.
I told him, you had better get use to it !.
Frankly, some MG dealers have been caught napping and are unable to deal with the volume of new customers wanting to give the brand a chance to show what they can do, but for some this has been a great good opportunity truly lost !.
The info coming from the manufacture is woefully behind the times also.
Sales have increase by over 30% last year, but the operation at the coal face is struggling with the work load.
On the other hand, there are a smaller number of dealers who have responded well to the challenge and are doing a great job to be fair.
I think MG themselves know they have some dealers that are not keeping up the new faster pace, hence they made it known that they intend to weed out some of these under achieving dealerships.
Using the lack of showroom space as a tool to single them out.
This is important, but through put tell's a different story.
Like they say, size is not everything !.
Tesla can sell thousands and thousands of cars, either on line or out of a store the size of a shoe box in a shopping mall in the States.
A showroom with three cars in it, you can't get much smaller than that.
Pure VOLUME is the name of the game !.
up as they go along.
