MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

[Bodgerx]

MG just mailed me a further update (not the dealer). All bets are off with my car; no dates available. Please call back in a few weeks. What a joke. Im
Better off looking for in stock items in the uk.

It's the most honest answer to give though, so at least they are being honest with you.

Unless the dealer has your chassis number and knows it's on the way, it's the only answer they can reliably give given the sporadic nature they are dripping through.

Got mine today. Very happy indeed

Great, yours was a cancellation though...

I know that I may get a call soon but does this mean that my dealer is rubbish? Long range trophy in silver still not here after ordering on 30/11. Tunbridge Wells MG

Honest would be stopping taking new orders until this disgrace is sorted and committing to honour the prices of all existing orders. Still what goes around comes around.

There are still people waiting since November/December, even though there are January onwards orders being delivered on. Have a look at the tracker also

Must be a cancellation or the dealer has been given a spare

I’m not bitter about it. It’s more whether I should use a ‘bigger’ dealership next time rather than the criteria just being the cheapest price that I could find.

No I asked that it has my original mg order number on it

That would imply vehicles aren’t allocated to orders until they land in the uk.

I wish we knew the answer, but seems like pot luck. Some of the larger dealers on here certainly seem better served by MG, but with the amount of orders they take you may not get a car any sooner than somewhere smaller.

Rather than size, it seems a customer may be better off with a dealer that has some kind of minimum supply agreement that seems to have been hinted at on here.

That’s fair enough, thank you.

Watching these forums that seem to be a trend nothing nothing nothing then surprise

Please let my call come soon!!

The idea of a ‘factory’ order is an illusion with MG. They never quote build dates. Even a dealer ‘stock’ order is a nonsense They basically get what they are given from SAIC then allocate to open ‘orders’. They just need to be honest that there is no such thing as an order until MG has stock in county , it’s just an expression of interest where the deposit paid should be fully refundable at any point in the process.

I couldn't have put that better myself

Exactly...

I have not been waiting as long as many here but that's exactly what I feel.

Given the complete lottery, and lack of any perceived logic in the Twilight Zone that is the MG ordering and delivery process, I have decided to take things firmly into my own hands. I have ordered (and had delivered) a 10mm spanner. Lets see if that works!
