Hi everyone

I have had my current vehicle, a Ford focus ST for 6 years now with no trouble at all. With all the problems  we’ve had over the last few years I couldn’t find a suitable replacement.
At last I got an order in for a mini JCW premium pack and optional blacked out windows. Delivery mid to end of May. I nearly fell off my seat, I was expecting a very long wait.
Are the dates everyone is getting for delivery proving reliable?

I hope so

Many thanks Winston I have ordered the premium Auto DCT 8 Speed which is great I really like how quick it is in sport mode i really wanted the head up display but you have to choose the plus pack and did not want the sunroof a great shame you cannot order the HUD on its own.But to be fair I am grateful that Motability has up its game on this model and the digital display will be great.

Well the Mini Cooper JCW did not last long on the Scheme as I am lucky I ordered mine and I just found out it is 150 status straight from being 112 in a week which puts it being built on 17th July so BMW site tells me.

Has anyone thought that for disabled EV Cars are not user friendly first there is the fact that most chargers are not under cover like petrol forecourts which to be honest is a no brainer when it comes to electricity no thought in that process. And also the charger space has to be good for wheelchair users ie:no obstacles which was pointed out kerbs in the way, and with the weight of the charger plug which my friend struggles with. Now petrol forecourt I have to have an attendant fill my car with petrol which many know can be a pain but My local garage is good in this and shell and others have apps for this. Also it was pointed out to me that Electric Cars were thought of even before the good old combustion engine and it was found to be impracticable but that was before new batteries of today but it still points true in that there is little infrastructure still as said above no covers over chargers. And now more news that ford boss says that electric is no good and they are going the Hydrogen route as is some other Manufacturers as is VW cutting two models due to lack of orders. I really think that the problem lies that long journeys it can be very stressful and for some disabled unworkable.

You can’t go on the experiences of others, as some dealers may have placed the order in the same month that the customer ordered, whereas others may have sat on the order for a long time until placing it. That’s why it’s impossible to answer without knowing when your dealer actually placed your order with the manufacturer (which was hopefully in April, but could have been a month or two later if they didn’t have any available build slots). If Mini orders work the same way as BMW, your dealer should be able to give you the order tracking number and they can then advise on the status of your order.
