Interested to know if anyone who ordered a Nissan Qashqai E-power Tekna around January 2023 received theirs yet?
Delivery date was pushed back to July, August, and then September. However, the dealership is unsure if it will arrive in September and says they have no way to know.
Any input would be appreciated!

Am I being unfair for speaking up I would say so! In fact I would have told them to shove it where the sun don’t shine long before now
Author Rehaah thanks, but to clarify, is you saying I am being unfair for speaking up? To be honest I have no option to wait as pip is up for renewal but not heard anything about an assessment yet!
OOP’s sorry my error – it came out wrong! No you are not being unfair
Did you order the Bose ssetup as that maybe causing a delay?haha! I am not sure if it is the Bose or not – looking at some other forums those who ordered tekna with bose after me have already received it. Funny is that the dealer said they are trying to speak to regional team but have had no response in a few days so not sure what the removal of the date implies!
I wonder if @Macca can help as they have had email exchange with Nissan UK (motability) and also posted a phone number up re the same department – in the X Trail thread I think!

Thanks both, I’ll drop them an email and see what they say!
It is extremely frustrating, even annoying, that it takes so long sometimes for a new car to be delivered , but I have found that flexibility on our part, especially with regard to colour, and also not insisting on nice to have but completely unnecessary kit, can really can make a difference!
Most new cars come with loads of kit on board anyway, much more than I had when working and driving 45000 miles a year?
I am used to having se/ Lux Volvo XC’s with loads of kit on board,some of which was just of novelty value?
What I really miss from the Tiguan which had a 38 week long order time, but I took what I could get it in 10 days, ( and never regretted it ) was the sun roof which I could have had , in another colour, and the electric tailgate.
It is a choice we make, and even though I miss some kit ,I weigh this up against what I have got in place and in my case the QQ ePower n con , without a wait, ,covers my expectations!

Completely agree, Mike, and in this case, I had asked how adding Bose / choosing the colour of the car would impact delivery time. I was told that it would be a negligible waiting difference as the supply chain got better and churned out cars faster.
But the only telling sign was when they removed the Tekna trim off Motability, and mentioned it was due supply chain issues, and this was a few months after I had already ordered.
I really don’t know the rules over ‘vehicles ordered, but no longer on the scheme’, but it seems good business sense to me , to sell a car and realise the profit earlier rather than later in the financial cycle- bird in the September hand, rather than the February Bush- and therefore, if there are stock vehicles ‘out there’ at the dealerships, which fit the bill, why not utilise them?
But, what do I know?

Was just told that delay is linked to Nissan GB pulling orders to verify they are real as some dealerships place bogus orders to increase their own stock, which creates a bottleneck.
Supposedly, all orders need to go through this verification but I am surprised that my bespoke order was not verified months ago.
Not much out there in the dealerships 15 n connecta & 1 Tekna, so it is clearly a bad time to get a QQ e Power.
My last comment is –
‘It really is worth waiting for’!
Good luck

Tbh I have no option but to wait, only 10 months left on pip so can’t put in a new application until reassessed for pip, which I’d assume is sometime next year.
Also, legs surgically fused and don’t bend and this was the only car I found to be suitable for legroom with once push/pull leaver fitted.
Current car over 5 years and no way I can extend for another year unfortunately.
we ordered our tekna epower )no options) in ceramic grey in the first week of march. we were told june del. but this was changed to mid sept. due to electronic parts shortages. we are picking it up on thursday 14 th sept. at wigan nissan. we have never been in touch with them since the original order.

Nice, enjoy!
Hopefully. I get mine some time this year too ha-ha.
Just back from EMG with the bosses brand spanking shiny new Nissan ePower in a quite fetching blue. Dealer called during the week and said that it came in out of the blue. The wife is over the moon with it but sad to see her Mitsubishi Outlander go as she really liked it.
