MG ZS EV - 72.6kWh Facelift

I've found the same on short trips around town. I was nervous of KERS3 for the first day or so, but use it exclusively now, and have found that I sometimes get home with more charge than I left with. This doesn't work on longer trips. I may need to slow down a bit if I'm doing particularly long journeys, but so far I haven't changed my driving style on dual carriageways/motorways.

Yes I got a call this morning won't be getting car this year and that the earliest will be Q1 2023 but no guarantees.😥

How long are you waiting for it?

Ordered it in Jan 22.

MG are a total joke. Their website makes it appear that u can just go buy one. No mention or face-lift either.

Then u arrange a test drive and they fully know they have no stock yet they waste ur time with a test drive and then tell u "by the way we have no idea when we can get u one of these. Could be a year or more"

Pack of wasters. They literally have no clue when cars will arrive and have a massive backlog. So if u want one put your finger in the air

So you will have been waiting over a year for it then.

Well on the plus side its better having a new car at the beginning of a new year than the end of one. Hope you get it eventually.

In early 2019 my local Hyundai dealer didn't know when more Ioniq 28s would come.

But yet Ioniqs randomly arrived over the year in 2019.

Including the one I now own - granted I didn't buy it new but still.....

Seems to be an issue with factories in Asia and communications with Ireland.

Its just that Hyundai being much more established - they get more slack and forgiveness.

Then MG who from an Irish prospective are new kids on the block and thus this is seen as a reflection of MG as a company.

Rather then as with Hyundai, VW and others - worldwide issues with supply chains.

Much also depends on how proactive MG Ireland are in dealing with the MG HQ in China.

Remember that MG Ireland aren't actually MG themselves - its effectively Frank Keane as a company getting the right to be official importer for MG in Ireland.

Been into Linders today to check on the status of my order. No change. Linders have had no notification of any additional delays on their orders being pushed into Q1 2023, in fact, they are expecting 30 deliveries toward October (maybe). As soon as the order status changes then I'll be notified and was told that once the order state changes its usually 4-6 weeks for delivery. So hopefully this is the final straight for me and a few others waiting at Linders.

It’s nicer to hope that they will get a large delivery soon. until they materialize we can only but wait, in the mean time im just going to keep going in and remind myself what im waiting for, maybe if i go in enough they’ll just give me one to get rid of me 🤣

A friend has a ZS on order for what seems like an age. He sent me a screen shot of an email he got on the 19th of August from a main dealer. As it's not my car or order and the salesperson who sent it can easily be identified I'd prefer share the wording of the email rather than the actual screen shot.

"Hi XXXXX,

We attended an MG event up in Meath last week with MG Ireland head office staff and reps from dealerships all around Ireland. We were informed of delays with over 500 orders for the Rep. of Ireland. MG have told us clearly they have NO ETA for any of the cars coming. They have no estimated time of delivery for any of the cars until they are physically loaded onto the ship for transport. Once loaded they will inform us. After we are informed there will be a two month wait for the cars to arrive in Ireland. It is frustrating from our part as we have fullfilled everything we can in ordering the cars. We have made the decision to gaurantee your trade in price and the price of the cars regardless of any price or budget impacts. This obviously means we will potentially be absobing on a loss on all sales. However we feel it is right. However, if at any point you wish to have your deposit back or you wish to purchase a difrerent brand one of our franchises we will extend a generous discount in your favour. We are aware some customers can't wait. ..." etc etc

I'd advise anyone still being fobbed off with a delivery date to follow it up. I have the screen shot, if a mod here wants to PM their number I'll forward it for confirmation however it is NOT for sharing as everyone involved can be identified.

My friend contacted them wishing to change his order to preorder one. Sales guy didn't know anything about an MG4.

The plan now is to stick with the ZS and once he can order a 4 to do so and upgrade.
