Does anybody else get pissed off when you see the TV advert, it winds me up even more that's its in the colour I've ordered. Stop advertising it MG you can't deliver any for probably at least 9 months now!!
It’s no different to all the other suppliers - that includes Tesla in the UK. I believe Tesla are meeting some deliveries by removing features from delivered cars, such as cameras. Jaguar is in the same position with the iPace.Does anybody else get pissed off when you see the TV advert, it winds me up even more that's its in the colour I've ordered.

Ford have removed a load of kit from the ST range. Folding mirrors, heated seats and cameras. it's a crock.It’s no different to all the other suppliers - that includes Tesla in the UK.

Global chip shortage: Mercedes CEO on 'COVID whiplash'
A global chip shortage is affecting everything from PlayStations to Renaultswww.carmagazine.co.uk
yea everytime it comes on lol, but I don't think we will be waiting nine months.

I ordered mine in November and now being told June (7 months). No adverts on the TV then. Unless some new chip factories start to come on line very soon I reckon it's more realistic to be talking about 12 months as they've now advertising them on TV.yea everytime it comes on lol, but I don't think we will be waiting nine months.

most say in stock when they are not, apparently its an 'autotrader thing'! Unless its got mileage on it, or an SR then don't get your hopes up.You may not want to look but on auto trader dealers are starting to sell actual stock for the first time that I've seen. Or delivery march stock.
VW have actually modified their spec on the ID.3Ford have removed a load of kit from the ST range. Folding mirrors, heated seats and cameras. it's a crock.
She's just south of Crete at the moment.Sunlight Ace has just issued her next destination and its due to dock at Bristol Portbury 1st March. Here's hoping !
YepDon’t forget all other manufacturers are in the same boat as well.
STILL waiting on my MG5lr and getting impatient by the day - has anyone considered the other Chinese car company - BYD with their blade battery technology? which seems to be the future by all accounts - well worth a consideration IMO. Might hang onto my 2021 ZS until they hit these shores ?Yep
VW have reduced the ID3 to just one model and from what I hear quoting 12m (I was told Aug when I test drove it in Oct)!
Mini have reduced their shifts as they don’t have enough semi conductors too.
What would you get? Surely everything else desirable has an equally long wait and you’d be at the start rather than far along the queueI am thinking if I don't get mine in May I may call it a day and get something else
Understand the frustration especially if some of these stock cars arriving for dealers match what you have been waiting for. The weather will be getting better so perhaps an electric bicycle (no chips) as there wont be anything that you can order new that you would get before Christmas.What would you get?

I get the frustration of waiting for your order (i’m in the same long boat from China, ordered November) just to see someone else get one direct from a dealer. But i just think it could be cutting your nose to spite your face.Understand the frustration especially if some of these stock cars arriving for dealers match what you have been waiting for.

If you’ve got a suitable alternative which you’d be happy with, brilliant, but reason we went for the MG ZS EV was because it was the best car that we could afford and makes sense for us given the ammount of commuting we do.
