Toyota BZ4x

My BZ4X arrived in the dealership two weeks ago, since then i've had nothing but delayed tactics in releasing the vehicle - from not accepting docusign to the wet signature not been clear enough. Physically signed it yesterday and now i'm being told that the Irish Revenue system was updated over the weekend and they cannot register any bz4x as a result, I'm aware there is supposed to be an 11k swing in the price come the new year and am skeptika of these delays as they have to honor the previous price as I booked it in March. They still have my deposit but its delay after delay met with zero response when I look for an update. Is anyone aware of this issue with revenue?

You mean this is a wider issue with EVs and not specific to Toyota

Seen a white one yesterday.. god the front wheel arches are awful.. hard to describe.. maybe it would look ok in black.. but who designs these things? rest of the car looks absolutely fine..

I wonder if that section of the wheel arches is a separate section that can be moved.

If so wrapping it might be an option?????.

Like some did with the 28 kwh Ioniq because they did like the grey grill section.

you could probably get it sprayed to colour match.. i've seen people do that before with wheel arches

In general whenever a new car is launched here first delays can occur with revenue. Revenue have upto 21 days to approve a new model declaration made by a distributor/manufacturer for a new model or indeed any time there is a change in specification, co2 or price. And being the public sector model of efficiency they are they generally take the 21 days too. Beyond frustrating. Declarations generally cannot be made either until a COC is issued which normally happening with shipping.

Have you heard if there was a resolution? Each delay has me more concerned as I'm putting more mileage on my car and conscious of them not honouring the initial trade in price.

People in Europe should be aware of the current developments. Now in Ireland, lots and lots of people are booking electric cars. This is going to affect used car sales, car workshops since electric cars have very little maintenance. with the current Ukraine inavasion, European countries are begging Gulf nations for energy. I need not explain what their bargain is. So as a result, govt is going to increase the lectricity rates in public charging stations and soon the cost will be equal to running hybrid cars. Since Toyota is the worlds largest automaker, when their electric car come to the streets, there will be an explosion. Those who know cars know well that with periodic service, a Toyota car will run for ever. None of its parts or features will get damaged as in other car brands. Thsi is the reason why they are delaying the things related with Bz4x. Even I am afraid, the car I booked on last June will arrive on next March. They said that it will be shipped from Japan this month. So good luck to all.

The point I would additionally make is that electricity costs being high is a disaster for everyone.

Regardless of EVs.....

So even if every EV stopped being used in the morning then the issue needs fixing.

Realising that this issue impacts the local super valu your cousin works in.

Impacts the factory your brother manages that employs lots of people including a load of your local friends.*

Then it stops becoming a point your finger from a diesel going "ha ha your man in the Tesla over there is going to pay more" meme.

To a very serious issue that requires a fix.

*a good example in certain parts of North Cork and over the border in Kerry - is Munster Joinery. If you work in Munster Joinery its important that Munster Joinery is able to afford energy cost.

No, plenty of them registered already too.

Looks like the wheels are falling off at that dealership

There's probably one person who has the account to register cars and they're on holiday

Thanks, any idea what the reason is?

Don't think thats the case unless the codes have changed from what they were - there are some BZ4x already on the roads

I've had nothing but delay after delay, excuse after excuse with this dealership and they've had my deposit since March. I'm aware that the same cars have already been registered from this dealership too. The customer service from Toyota in general has been absolutely shocking since after the deposit was put down. Maybe it is revenues issue but at least some communication as to what's happening isn't too much to ask. Beyond frustrating at this point
