Semi conductor factory fire that makes ~70% of global supply had a very large fire. Production halted. This means your car might be delayed by 6 to 12 months.

It was the same with my dealer, with our first Gen 1 model.
To be honest, I don't think they have any idea.
Ordered the car on-line on 23rd July ( 2019 ) and it arrived at the dealership, two weeks before Xmas.
I rang them about 3 times over that period, never got the same answer on dates from any one of the calls.
They never rang me once, until the day it arrived.
And they openly admitted they had no idea it was coming, until four ZS EV's all turned up at the same time !.
Black / White / Red ( mine ) and one in blue.
They had all been collected when I turned up for mine on the 4th of Jan 2020.
I am STILL waiting for the follow up call from the sales department, to see if we are happy with our purchase.
That was almost two years ago now, so I don't expect they will ring now .
Poor customer service - once again !.
They must be really rushed off their feet in the first week in January - NOT !.

Absolutely shocking ..once they sell the car ... i need vin number or reg number to get charging point installed they also can't give me that ... another hold up as can't apply for grant for ev at home charger

 

[dundee1961]

now due to all the hold up i'll have to Mot and Insure my own car next week thats meant to be getting traded in for brand new mg as they said car should have arrived before my cars mot was due .

The car insurance is not that bad, just a bit more "Faff" you could do without.
But the MOT is a real pain !.
If it throws up any issues, you are knackered.
Spending money on a car you should not even own by now.
What about people tied into a lease or PCP deal that is coming to an end ?.
Maybe they would let you extended the lease, but with a PCP it has to go back I think.
I sold my car privately in the October and we used my wife's car until the ZS EV arrived in late December.
But of course not everybody can do this !.
It is my understanding that the cars are not allocated to there respected dealers, until they have left the boat.
If this is so, this would explain why they do not have any of delivery dates ???.

very strange we could only have a white one , didnt get a choice of colours ? its holding up home ev charger aswell .. can't get any info ... garage definately said should be here middle september which we said thats fine wont need to reinsure or mot my existing car ... frustrating ...

I'm sure there are other dealers with stock if you can travel. Look on Autotrader, Luscombes MG in Leeds is advertising so there must be others with stock.

Luckily White is by far the best color. It shows the very nice shapes of the car. With the colors you can’t see the curves

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.

Like with washing machines etc.
Another advantage though is it's also the cheapest to buy

When was the last time you saw a white Ferrari?

Also, not being metallic it doesn't scratch as easily, which is another advantage
