MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

[Bobbyboy]

Latest update - mine is due to arrive on 22nd Aug... Personally I wouldnt mind a bit of slippage to that so it ends up on a 72 plate lol

I'll have it, that's my birthday, is it a Trophy LR in red by any chance

 

[Ozzie1989]

Won’t matter to me, dealership is going to fit my private plate when it turns up…when..

Bit short sighted, when you sell it will have a 22 plate if registered before end of August and you remove the private plate or course it can make a difference to resale value.

Probably only keep the car two years and sell it back to MG…can’t see it’ll make much difference, it’s still a 2022 car, whether it’s a March or August plate on the car..

best get your order in for the next one then, you might get it in two years.

Saw my first ZS ev LR in the wild today, annoyingly it was in the colour I've ordered, looked great though

We saw a 21 plate Trophy (or Trophy Connect) in red a couple of days ago - the same as we are waiting for. It did look good.

Seeing them gives you hope. They do exist! I was beginning to think they were like rocking horse poo....

Yep, saw a white one in Swansea yesterday. Not sure if LR or SR but either way it did look smart.

How do you spot the difference between Sr and lr...apart from looking at range

Not sure you can tell externally at all..

Mine is red as well, looks really good, can't wait to get it

They are out there

In true Blue Peter fashion, here is one I bought earlier …

If Connects are such an issue, I don't see why they don't have dealers contact customers and offer them the option to lose that extra and save £500 . I think a good few would go for that if they could get on the road sooner vs an unknown delivery date.

What get's me is that it's not as if they're delivering everything but Connect - they appear to be behind in general.

If people have a plug in grant this can't happen as its a change of model... and would void the grant application.

 

[Vipar]

Not true I added connect to mine and they said you will not lose your place in the queue but will have to add £500 to your payment cost.

My original dealer closed they had loads of orders but wasn’t getting any money because they only get paid when the car is handed over to customers. So no money close the doors Now I can see the other side of the story. 4 sales men out of work

The SR will most likely be parked up with a lead hanging out the front of it jk couldn’t resist

 

[ging353]

That will be the next thing to go wrong. All these dealers that haven't sold anything all year will start going bust and closing down.

 

[Nell17]

I mean if that’s nationwide and not just your dealer then hopefully that means they can fulfill the existing orders before accepting new orders and those getting cars first although they ordered after others. Whilst I’d love my new car now, part of me would feel bad if I got it before others, probably as it was ingrained in me to wait my turn in the queue.

Although I do wonder if that might be your particular dealer as others are still advertising for new orders and have given dates of June for new orders this week.

I’ve no idea guess it’s just my dealership, but I’m hopeful I will get the car this year.

My car arrived at dealer on Monday 18th it was on Splendid Ace which was at Portbury on the 30th March

Thanks - so it's taken a good few weeks before they got it.

I was told it had arrived at the beginning the week at Bristol

So assuming that's the Iguazu, dealer received it within a few days. That might be the shortest transport turnaround time I've seen recently. Given it appears to take a few weeks for some though, there could be customers still to receive a call for cars that were on that same vessel.

Iguazu Highway - docked 20th April '22. Car(s) at dealership on 23rd April for delivery
Splendid Ace - docked 30th March '22. Car(s) at dealership on 16th & 18th April for delivery

If people have a plug in grant this can't happen as its a change of model... and would void the grant application.

I agree, this change wouldn't be an option for those glued to the grant, but there'll be people like me though for whom this would make no difference at all.

Just looking at the order tracker though, I'm not convinced the Connect is the issue given the poor delivery ratio across all variants. If the next big delivery is everything but Connect then OK, that option is a problem.

I've only seen one. Ironically it belongs to my neighbour and is parked outside my house everyday, in the same colour that I'm waiting for. I feel like I'm being mocked
