MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

[DB Go Rex]

Lease orders do go through dealerships. I am ordering through a lease company but like many others, these will be supplied by Luscombes.

Retreading a lot of old ground here!

Yes, it is but Greenhous Fleet placed my order in November but MG says the order was placed in January. Greenhous Fleet seams a large organisation and have direct fleet ties to MG, so puzzled they aren't getting cars in.
When I queried the discrepancy MG just sent back the standard email and didn't bother answering why there was a 2 month difference. What's worrying is over that time the Government grant was pulled. Hopefully someone will get there act together soon

Hi I’m in the same boat as you and having spoken with Vanarama, they seem completely in the dark. With them not having had a single MG ZS delivery, and Greenhous not being a “proper” retail dealer (unlike the likes of Luscombes suppliers other leasing cos) I’m becoming very sceptical that these will actually be delivered… Have you had any luck speaking with Greenhous? I’ve tried calling but none of them seem to know which part of Greenhous deals with MG.

My SR Trophy Connect ordered from Tusker in January was delivered today. Came with granny and Type 2 cables. Lots to learn but so far so good ?

I'll take a photograph of mine if it ever comes......ordered 3/12/21...LRTC in blue.

I thought that lease orders still had to go though a dealership the same as personal orders from Joe Bloggs. Mine from Novuna has gone via Holdcroft in Stoke

Apologies, you're absolutely right about the orders going through the same as personal orders - my point was more that (as I understand it) the lease companies put through a large number of orders once the car goes on sale (in the case of Octopus, who I'm leasing off - this was Dec 2021) This means they have a selection of cars available to people who order later on. Therefore there isn't necessarily 'queue jumping' as per se. As the cars have technically already been ordered.

I'd be interested to know which part of Greenhous deals with the Vanarama MG orders too.

Yes they do, my vanarama is with g

I have been able to speak to Greenhous, went through 4 departments to get through to someone relevant who confirmed the order. He was not very hopeful on delivery being possible in September and expects another push back till Jan 2023, usual 4 month jump apparently, i ordered mine mid nov from Vanarama


Got hold of MG this morning who confirmed they are clueless but mention lead time of 8 to 9 months. When i mentioned time is almost up, they confirmed my order was not placed till end of Jan 22, dont understand why but that means end of october or november at the earliest for delivery from MG to Greenhous and in line with Jan 2023

No wonder vanarama is so keen on us cancelling the order as they will not be able to get any grants now and i have charger already installed

The grants will remain right? I read an earlier message about the confusion around Vanarama order dates. Seem to recall Greenhous had proof the orders were placed with MG in November, yet MG have January on their system!

I have my charger installed, I will not cancel, if Vanarama cancel I assume we keep the charger? If Vanarama play silly buggers and keep delaying delivery when it is clear other lease companies are delivering, then that in my mind would be game playing to get people to cancel and then have to pay for their chargers.

Having said all that, I believe the delays are genuine and that we will get the car eventually.

Just got a text from aylesbury perrys saying still no production date for silver LR Trophy ordered 6th January ?

Yes i have read that before as well but its crazy how two companies have different dates on their systems but that does not surprise me

I am not cancelling my order. There are people getting cars that placed their orders after november but those orders probably are logged by MG as December or November rather than late Jan somehow

Hi, you need to speak to Nick Jones the account Manager sorting this.
Greenhous Fleet Services
Shropshire
Tel: 01952 770740
Mob: 07525 593782
Web: www.greenhous.co.uk

I asked him to chase up the discrepancy with dates that MG has he hasn't got back to me. Called again today to chase it up and for any revised delivery date but still nothing.
Suggest all Vanarama customers start to chase Greenhous regarding lack of delivery when clearly vehicles are coming into the UK.

That could be the problem, I think I am right in saying that the grants would not have been available on the Trophy or Connect in Jan 2023.
This could be a problem for Vanarama if they were asked to find an additional £2.5k per car and therefore potentially for us. Since we have a lease we have a contract from Vanarama to supply the car at a set agreed monthly cost. However not sure where we stand if Vanarama choose to cancel that contract.

That cost of 2.5k remains with Vanarama as they are the owners and they should have claimed those, not our problem

If they decide to cancel this, they can either leave the charger where it is free of cost or come and collect after paying for damage to my wall

I just received a phone call from Nathaniel Cars, my Trophy Connect LR Black in now built and awaiting shipping. I should receive it middle to the end of September. Ordered in Jan.

 

[KJD]

We ordered a Red Trophy Connect LR back in early Jan 2022, cash purchase from 360 Vehicle Leasing and was originally told 3-4 months for delivery. Now gone to Oct/Nov, but just a waiting game.

Has anyone else ordered from these guys before?

 

[Ukchris]

As stated on here quite a while ago any orders without a name against it incurs a £1500 penalty, so I can't see any leasing company absorbing that,so yes YET ANOTHER QUEUE JUMPER.

[Ukchris]

Because there is a good saving on price

 

[Waiting in Ireland]

For everybody in Ireland, my dealer mailed today and I rang this afternoon.
Here are the details of my car.
Date of order 17 Dec 2021
ZS EV LR EXCLUSIVE WHITE
Will be with me before the end of the month. Apart from the initial email informing me of the delay from March 2022 to August 2022. the only other contact was a call from me to confirm how accurate was the delivery estimate, then nothing until today, to give me a heads up to get ready.
No drama's, no messing and professional from start to finish. Congrats to MG and of course to John O'Sullivan at Johnson and Perretts in Cork. Hope everybody waiting get their cars soon and happy motoring.
