To be honest, yes the comms are appalling, but it’s no different for other companies, my colleague has been waiting for a VW Touareg for nearly a year now and it’s not in build yet, ford have stopped custom orders of Fiesta and are only offering standard configs until further notice, and the octopusEV portal have ‘longer delivery’ tags on nearly half the cars on there! (Ironically though, NOT on the ZS EV!!!!!)
Congrats! I wonder when those arrived here.
Your point?
I'm sure Galway is in Ireland...
Yes, and I think a lot of people joining this thread are repeating the same mistake of late - getting the same response from MG and also asking the same questions and making the same points that have been brought up multiple times before.
In my view, the best thing MG have had is value for money. If you can not get the bloody car, what else is left?
Ireland.
Still interested in Bodgers point. Why the comment Bodge-boy? We all gonna turn on each other cause some member gets a car before another?.
No, relax, it was mearly an observation- if you read back in the thread there have been a few deliveries to Scotland based posters.
I've saw a few comments about lease deals not been as important as a PCP, cash, hp etc but I spoke to my dealer regarding this and she said they don't see it as a lease on the system they just see my finance company which is mg finance it may be different for certain companies but mine was ordered direct from the main dealer hope that helpsJust had a general response from octopus with the promise of a personal one in the next few days.
"Thank you for your email and I hope you are well. We heard from MG in the last day or so letting us know we will be expecting delays on some vehicles but they didn't specify when so we were waiting to hear before getting in touch with the drivers. We haven't been in touch with you directly about this yet as we have been left in the dark and unsure what was happening but these have come through today and these are just general delays which they are experiencing across the board unfortunately. There will be an email heading your way shortly on this topic to inform you as I appreciate you have just picked up on this rather than us reaching out.
I do apoloise on behalf of the dealer about this delivery though, I can appreciate the frustration this will cause and inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any further queries at the time being, we will be in touch shortly."
It's nice that I am getting quite a personal reply (although that may be because I'm my companies salary sacrifice admin with Octopus!!).
From what I have seen in earlier posts in this thread, dealers don't see lease orders as a priority so they may be being bumped down the queue.
Like a lot of people here I ordered the vehicle cos of the features I could get at the price point when I ordered, there is nothing close to that at the same monthly price, especially now, so I'm just gonna have to sit and wait unless I give up on an EV completely or commit to a much higher fee.
Just means my current car has to make it through another MOT now
Ahhh fair, although if your lease is through MG then that would be why MG finance comes up. My leave is with OctopusEV so, like Vanarama/Tusker it would be easy to single out as a lease deal and therefore low value/less important than looking after a direct private customer.
Well at least some part of the factory seems to be working
