And now, we wait...

[Coedy]

I placed a deposit and signed my order form on Friday for a white Exclusive.
It's my first EV. And first new new car!
I was blown away by the test drive and feel I got a very good deal, absolutely nothing else in the EV space comes close to it for size and spec when you also consider price.
I've no idea if it's even going to fit in the drive! Haha

I've been told it will take around 3 weeks before it will be ready, it's going to be a very long 3 weeks...

I'm from Swansea in S.Wales. I wonder if anyone else is near by?

Well done, congratulations exactly what I thought when I bought mine 5 months ago and I still love it...

Hi @Coedy and welcome.

I know about that long wait when you’re excited. I’ve been struggling since middle of July but thankfully my suffering is almost over. Try not to think about it is my advice.

I think the eZS is an amazing car for the money and I just love the instant torque.

0-50mph in 5 seconds makes me smile.

Really is a small world, I know of at least 2 others from Swansea on this forum.

Wow that's cool! Regional meetup when the world settles down! ?

@lee graham I have to say, I think the acceleration is what sold it. Up until I planted my foot I thought to myself "it's sooo much money for me though..." (Coming from a £3k Prius)
Which immediately changed to "oh, I see, I get it now" when I was pinned back in the seat at every roundabout.
Plus I've not managed to even find a lease deal cheaper than my monthly so I'm feeling better about it now.

5 seconds?

yeah 0-100kph in 5.38 seconds!! If you look at the 10:30 mark of the video. Admittedly performance falls off after 50mph, taking another three seconds to get to 60mph. But I’ve ‘won’ at the lights by then.

Guess I might have some speeding tickets to look forward to in the post...

Panda Motors by any chance? If so, what was the wait time to get yours?
The wait is killing me and I'm now only 2 days into what could be 21days...

Coming from a biking background, most - not all - acceleration figures for cars are disapointing. But I guess it's all relative to other cars. My last sports tourer bike was 0-60 in 2.36 seconds! ? That said, I saw a YouTube video once of a Tesla versus a sprotsbike - Kawasaki I think but don't recall engine size - and the Tesla left the bike for dead. I also enjoyed the MG acceleration away from the lights during my test drive ?

You've been spoilt! My cars have always been around 11seconds 0-60 so going to 8seconds was a big jump.
I think 0-60 is almost irrelevant, 0-30 is where the fun is!

I just heard that my collection date will be the 10th! So thankfully half the amount of time they said it may be ?

Yes it was Panda Motors. I was fortunate no delay as I purchased a pre-register vehicle.

Find your videos really useful Mike.

If MG had a referral system similar to Tesla to reward existing owners who get referenced by new buyers, then I'm sure Mike would be clocking up many free miles in his MG ZS EV!

 

[shikoku14]

In Telsa referals @Mike would be probably have an E-Motion in his MG account by now
