I have just driven back my Etech 🥳 🥳 The dealership took a picture of me because I was first to get it delivered there and to pick up

Well done.
Post some pics both inside and out.
Mine was supposedly going to be here on the 9th but now I'm told tomorrow.
Dealer will probably faff about and delay things until the weather is worse though.

The funds from my sale haven't come through yet, not that it really matters, as Thursday is meant to be collection day, but no dealer contact.

My son is telling me that based on the info from the Facebook group, several customers are having their delivery dates pushed back, because of issues following the cars coming off of the boat.

If I haven't heard from my dealer on Wednesday morning I will be ringing them in the afternoon, providing someone is there to answer my call.

Yeah, not really the best week of this year to pick up a new car.

Originally they said 12th then 14th then 9th now tomorrow.
There is going to be a bit of a delay as they should be applying a protective coating plus there's the matter of paying them.
The next few days are going to be better weather but after that it looks a bit nasty.
I might ask them if they can delivervit on a truck.
The good news is if the delay is long enough I might get them to fit my private reg rather than me having to muck about getting plates and fitting them.

Last day of my expected delivery day today, renault have said it's in the country since end of November and awaiting a mirror...

Get the feeling jt won't be this side of Christmas for me.

Edit:
Order tracker blurb update;


In the current context of shortage of electronic components and transport, we are encountering disruptions in delivering vehicles: your Renault establishment is fully mobilized during this exceptional

@Pierpoint.

OH. They are fitting mine for collection. I've given them the retention document.

Crikey!

Not heard from my dealer yet.
I'm wondering how long the retention doc might take to come through.
Might as well get them to fit the plate and register it rather than faffing about myself.

Are you going to have the green stripe or not?

My last update was it being on a boat a fortnight ago. Heard nothing since and hoping it's at least landed by now...

I never asked about the green stripe. On the Audi it came with the DVLA plates (green stripe) however, they made up plates for us and when I took them out to be fitted they were standard plates.

I think when dealers register a new EV they just fit the green stripes as a matter of course.

Update just came in from Renault.
14th, tomorrow.
I guess that even though they were on the same boat the prep they do and transporters they lob them on are done in strict order of first come, first served.

So the race is on for who xan pick it up the quickest and pist some pictures.

If I'm hearing/reading things correctly, our cars are sitting at the port waiting for certain components to be added/retrofitted. Odd, but given certain supply chains issues, maybe not a daft as it sounds. Maybe, with components shipped in from elsewhere or the UK.

Have you been drinking.

Maybe the 15th will work for me as I've heard nothing else.

Incidentally, anyone had e-mail No 2 from Renault?

I haven't had email 2 yet. Last I heard delivery to dealer was due 20 Dec.
I didn't know the green stripe was optional!

The green thing looks fine on my Mokka, the car is the same bloody colour, lol.
On a different colour car it looks a bit out of place though not as bad as a parking ticket.

The other day someone went by with the plate NO08 PTT, I checked and NOOB Petey is actually driving an EV. Had the green bit been there it would have looked a bit pants.

Latest from Renault customer is my car has been released for delivery and they are aiming to get it to dealer by end of next week where then dealer do there's checks before arrangements for me to collect so looks like the week after Christmas 😩

Was told that the port shuts on the 20th so it'll be next year likely 2nd week of Jan if it's not this week, even if, as I do, the scheduled delivery is next week.

Well that flies in the face of Renault's predictions to Priority Customers that they would get their cars before Christmas. It does make you wonder what is going on as we seem to be in the dark about it.

No drivers, I was told.
