It seems like it depends some have ordered late and got their cars early. Others have ordered early and stare still waiting
This happens with all manufacturers Mark and is down to whether or not the dealer has any build slot allocations. A dealer with available build slots will usually place the order with the manufacturer the same day that the Motability customer ‘orders’ the car, or within a day or two. Those that don’t will sit on the paperwork for a month (or two, or three….) before they can actually place the order with the manufacturer. The problem is that the vast and overwhelming majority of dealers are not up front about this, leaving Motability customers under the false impression that their car has been ordered when it hasn’t. People get further confused by seeing their new car ‘order’ on the Motability website. This isn’t the order, nor does it mean that the car has actually been ordered, it’s merely confirmation that Motability have agreed that you can order that car. This isn’t just a Ford issue. It crops up every day on this forum, multiple times, with different manufacturers. People think that their car has been ordered when it hasn’t.
yup, when i ordered i was told they had said amount of cars arriving in a couple of weeks and were at sea. they had 2 that had no names on so i got one. It arrived (imo and as it was earlier than my changeover date by a few weeks, the sold it to retail and marked me onto one of next batch). i cant prove it but pretty sure thats what happened. so mine will be a few weeks late, unless something else crops up. the dealer arranged for my current car to be extended and will let me know.
ps, ive still not recieved permesso to fit a charger from housing association. i phoned them and they just with one hand put obstacles in way and with other, say its a different department who just happen to be unavailable.
all very poor and i expect it wont happen now. public chargers are few and far between here.
