MG ZS EV Shipping Updates

[DB Go Rex]

If MG loaded the ship, there may be more than just 4's on there.
Order books open in September, but many dealers are taking £99 pre-orders (waiting list)

Yes it will likely be the same story - in initial shipment followed by long lead times...

You can't.

But it will be interesting to see if they pull that off.

Fingers crossed. But they did say when originally ordering they ordered the car last year November on release day.

But until I see the car I won’t believe it

Just had a nice chat with my dealer. Was being honest and said I wouldn’t get an MG4 before my ZS arrives, even if I preorder it. Although I have done it anyway (as I’ll need a second ev to replace the Ice).

He was reading directly from an email update he’s had about a few different bits of info from MG, the main one being…between 11th August and Mid September theres 8 ships coming in to the UK with 10,000 cars on - a decent mix of cars, including ZS LRs, MG3, MG4 & HS’s.

So sounds promising!

Ordered in march 22 from a broker who said they have a delivery for September.

Follow up today that the car is on the way and is on the ship and should be here at the end of the month for a September delivery.

How do I check they are telling me the truth

You could ask your dealer for the 10 digit order number, starting 30000xxxxx and then email MGUK with the number to see what they say.

My dealer said the same. He had no further gen to impart re the shipping over the next 6 weeks, however this was last week.

What is the email address that can be used for this?

Thank you. This is what I was looking for.

Hi Vic,

Good news! Your car has now been built.

We are expecting it to arrive in October.

Closer to the time I will have more accurate information so I will keep you updated.

Thank you for your patience

My order number is is just over 73000 so by deduction 23000 MG cars were sold between 9th December and 6th January ?

Interesting to know the order numbers- I wonder if we can deduce delivery order from that?! but in 2021 they sold ~30k cars (~50% EVs)

MG Motor UK breaks all records as sales pass 30,000 in 2021

28,149 so far in 2022 in the UK, apparently. Surely the figures in the article are only for orders placed, not cars delivered!

Didn't think of those 2 lol!

That's the one positive with having to wait sooooo long.

Just read the article, this bit particularly makes me laugh....

"The overall new-car market has dropped 12% since the beginning of the year as car makers struggled to supply demand.

MG was one of the few to capitalise on the supply constriction, along with Hyundai (up 27%), Kia (up 21%) and Dacia (up 81%).

MG’s apparent immunity from the shortfall in semiconductor chips suggests its parent company is prioritising sales in Europe."

I would HATE to think what wait times are like during a period where MG arent immune in that case ? ?

Utter rubbish.

So was out and about today and called into see a Nero EV, asked price and when I could get one if I ordered now, told £35k plus paint and it would be here November, ok he didn’t say what year..maybe something to look at next time around..

You mean a Kia e Niro?

Well yes, I think in hindsight I think a few of us would have chosen different 8 months plus ago.

I would have had my eC4 if I would have stuck with that in January.

it’s not called that anymore, it’s now a Niro EV…

At last after 9 month waiting its sat on my drive MG ZS TROPHY LR. Stunning motor.
They do exist they are not unicorns.

Would MG cancel an order after a certain amount of time if they couldn't fulfil. E.g 2 years?

Probably, yes. But the dealer won't tell you and just keep your deposit

As bad as some dealers can be, I doubt it would be that bad.
