Sounds like the guy I ordered from in there. Didn’t give a f when I ordered and didn’t give an f when I cancelled.
That’s right Kezo. They call it a technical ticket. So the dealer mechanic will plug the computer in get fault codes, send them to Peugeot in France who will look at them and send back a detailed set of instructions on how to fix it. It’s happened to me twice, first time I couldn’t remember the full name and just the ticket part.
MF my dealer tore into them and just how bad they are to deal with for franchise staff as well. There will be another big storm coming soon similar to the gran coupe, Enyaq, Tucson and ioniq 5 if what she tells me is right. Only no one will get there cars.
First my memory isn’t great which was why I wasn’t going to mention it, but I remember enough. There is a car that is suitable for under 25s and she has lots of orders for it for those under 25. She didn’t mention numbers just that she has a lot of phone calls to make to tell people, some who have been waiting 4-5 months that they are not getting any car now and she was gutted. Peugeot tweaked the engine/motor and it now falls into the over 25 category.
She said the reply from stellantis was atrocious when she questioned what can be done for her customers. I’ve also had the ‘so’ just fuck off type reply from them as has the journalists in the article above.
SUV guy I would not put anybody off ordering the e3008. I got a dud, simple as that. There are plenty of folk on the FB group happily motoring away, yes a few with some of the problems I’ve had, but nothing as concerning as mine. One other thing and I’ve said this to Pops. They went from delivering them at a very fast rate, to very little the last month or two. I presume they know the problems and are slowing things down so people get cars that work as recalls and workshop visits cost them money.
The range does seem to be another problem and Forbes has sussed it. There is no regeneration on mine, yes it works as in slowing the car down, but never seems to add as much as a mile to range. They think a bug maybe. And they are right and it was something I didn’t give enough thought too, it’s about as aerodynamic as a brick, so the much bigger e5008 will probably be worse.
For a top spec model it has nothing really especially if you look at the scenic e-tech.
Would I have enjoyed the car if little or no problems existed, aye, yes. It drives well, looks great and is a beautiful place to sit in, especially at night. I got over the V2L thing, realised that the range would not be a big problem so I made my peace with it after about 4 days glitch free and decided I would just try and enjoy it. Then it cooked me on a drive to a restaurant and I ended up all sweaty and peed off again lol
The part about the e3008 is interesting and makes sense regarding my poor range. And the usual Peugeot/stellantis response was just like mine. So, now get lost.
Aye the e3008 is stunning inside and out, mind I would like less fabric as we ate a chippy inside it at the beach one day, and the car stunk for about 3 days, even after driving about with the windows open.
Still no luck with the app. Take it to the dealer and see if they can do it. Mind as I say it doesn’t do anything apart from some basic information. Or that maybe just mine lol
TBF the car has always drove and I don’t mind the drive. Apart from the drive selector sometimes not working, quick off on sorts that. I will be honest and say that I was getting a bit paranoid at people here, dealers and motability thinking I’m making this up as I’ve just decided that something else has caught my eye. But the phone call yesterday the engineer said he did get every fault code to match all the problems I mentioned. So that’s a relief.
I called them today to see what’s happening and they are waiting on Peugeot engineers getting them fixes for it as there’s a lot of problems. They don’t know how long they will have it, but it won’t be back this week.
Europa car hire phoned. They don’t have any automatics and will contact me when one comes back. AHH hello check the puter and see when ones due back, they can’t! Huh how da feck can… Idiots. I’m going to try and book one of there autos as a private hire and see if they are bulls… Me. The reason I ain’t phoned motability about it is that they will just tell me to set up a taxi account and that ain’t happening. Today alone would have been 7 taxis, 7 tomorrow and 6 Friday. That just doesn’t seem worth the hassle. OH to work and two kids in different schools and all go at different times. Mind I’m enjoying not doing the rat runs, but they ain’t enjoying the long walks lol. And TBF it’s a bit far for the six yo so needs sorting.
When I spoke with motability a few weeks ago they were brilliant TBF. Agreed to a termination but would have to charge me £250, unless I get dealership to look at it so they can waive the fee, no matter the outcome fixed/not fixed I would be allowed to cancel at no cost.
I’ve currently spent all morning looking into scenic iconic and Tucson phev ultimate. I don’t want to go ice but prefer the Tucson, why I haven’t settled yet and am putting my own head away is no preconditioning on it. Preconditioning is a game changer if I’m honest.
Tucson in spec and colour I want is 2 weeks
Scenic in colour and spec I want is 3 weeks.
This is the easiest question ever answered. At 28mpg you will save a fortune no matter what pence you pay per kilowatt. Lol
I’m driving the e3008 GT now and for range you’d be looking at 220 miles of a full charge bad weather and hopefully around 270 good weather.
You can charge at home so it should be a no brainer to switch and if in England even better as they have the best electric tariffs. And as you’ve already thought about I don’t imagine you’ll have range anxiety, which TBF is really only something a few would need to worry about.
I’ve drove enough oul transits to not worry to much about window or wiper lol.
The e3008 has a button that washes the camera and it’s pretty good. Must be highish presure as it works ok.
The 4WD thing. I tried to configure a Tucson on the Hyundai site and it gives two options. Both plug in hybrid ultimates
1. 2WD auto and 2. 4WD Manual 🤔
I am like a bear, tbh my mood ain’t been great from I got this car, but this latest cluster duck has just pushed me to far and tbh I’m am absolutely fed up dealing with idiots, idiots everywhere. Common sense is gone and has been replaced by puter says no idiots.
Booked the car in to workshop as I was going away for five days, plenty of time to sort it, and about 30 minutes later the guy comes out and says that he needs to get a ticket of Peugeot to see what needs done. But says nothing came up huh. Take car home and he will get back to me. 2 weeks pass so I phone and they say there is no record of the car being in the workshop huh. So I arrange to go back over, clear my day make kids walk to school and go back.
I get over and the guy says when would you like it booked in, huh. I’m here now and it’s is booked in. No we need to book it in. Why to duck could you not have done it over the phone, oh there’s been a mix up. Boom it in take car go home.
Bring it over yesterday explained that I need it back no later than 3pm as there was no courtesy car. Yes fine I’ll write down 2pm just incase and will phone you when it is ready. 3pm, 4pm, 5pm nothing so I phone them as they close at six. Looked at car and found nothing but decided to take a test drive between hand it back and low and behold every warning light and fault appears on the test drive, all of them huh.
Tells me he needs a ticket of Peugeot to get work done, explains that as it’s a brand new car they need Peugeot engineers to send over instructions on fixes. Huh.
So I’ve no car. Huh. He says he will contact motability to organise hire car, but it takes 24 hours until they get back to you. Huh, I’ve no car.
Well what can I do, motability phones a few hours later and tells me about hire car and it will take up to 24hrs to organise. Yeah I f’ing know. First thing this morning europacar phones and asks for registration number. I explained I didn’t know it as I’ve only had the cars a few weeks. He asks why I don’t know it, huh I’ve just f’ing explained why. Is a name and address not an f’ing enough. Yeah that will do, huh. Right we are getting somewhere. Am I feck. It will take 3 days to get you a car, huh wtf. And what do I do in the meantime. Can you organise taxis, ah go feck yourself. Aye I’ll sort something. Goodbye.
Here’s what happened. Peugeot knew about fault codes from first visit but didn’t k ow what to do about it. Idiots. The hire car guy, just take a name and address ya idiot. Motability 3 f’ing days and no I don’t want taxis, I want a car, any car ya f’ing idiots.
Ps I’m really a nice person and would not curse at and or call someone an idiot who’s just trying to do there job. But in my head I’m screaming YAS F’ING IDIOTS.
Phew i feel a bit better now. Do I duck. This is driving me around the bend.
Jojoe the e3008 I’m in now has no wiper and tbh it hasn’t been much of a problem even with the crappy weather. Interior lighting would be a problem though.
Cheers Kezo. The Kona is up by 1k and with it being the smallest even with the V2L I’m going to rule it out. Would love it but that rise and being the smallest is a no. If the price was still 1800 I would jump on it.
The scenic ionic is top spec is £2395 and the Tucson top spec is £3k. Drive is not really important to me, as or looks. Toys and interior are. I like both but the Tucson seems nicer inside.
Here’s how I’m going to make my decision. Who ever gets me a car quickest is the car I’ll be getting. My Hyundai dealer is just around the corner so I’ll dander around and see how quick they can get one. Yes I’m walking, you’ll see a rant soon about that.
Ps one would leave me with £700 in my tail which I ain’t really thought about. I am fed up.
Excellent review Glos. My head is all over the place withe the scenic and Tucson. I’ve two questions 1. Is the powered tail gate hands free? 2. Is there preconditioning?
I believe the preconditioning may decide that I go with the scenic as I spent an hour and more reading reviews on both and I like both. I swore id never go back to ICE but the way I look at it is three years ain’t that long and I can go back to EV then and probably get something special.
I got mine connected easy enough and have disconnected and connected again several times. There is a certain way of doing it, then you have to register the free subscription. Unfortunately I have forgotten again.
Every time I’ve done it I’ve went through the e3008 FB page. Lots of information on there.
Ps the app never works anyway lol
They should but some can be awkward as it’s not really ment to happen but no one says they can’t do it either. My Peugeot dealer changed mine without me even asking and it was for nearly 2k. I asked a Hyundai dealer would he do it and he said no problem.
I can see a few big changes coming to motability soon and one will probably be the ap you agree to at time of ordering will be what you pay regardless of up price going up or down.
That will be a welcome boost with the price rises. So at the moment I’m looking at the e scenic, Tucson plug in, maybe Kona or a holiday to Tenerife next year and just put up with the e poop
I have to say that while I’ve only had one Hyundai I could not fault it in anyway. The old Kona was superb tbh so would love another Hyundai. As for the e3008 well it’s sort of putting me of another french EV and I believe the scenic and e3008 were built from scratch. Could similar problems occur?
Glos guy I’m currently looking at the Tucson plug in. I really don’t want to go back to ice but I want the best car/tech for my money and as I can plug in every night I am considering the plug in ultimate.
A few reviews I read said the ride wasn’t great particularly the steering and the brakes. The brakes in particular.
Very spongy at first touch then very sharp. I think I read on here someone complaining of the same thing about a Renault?
The Kona I was after has went up 1k. Think I may have to take a chance on the scenic icon as I’m not keeping that e3008. Still no V2L
I’m interested in this also. Just had the e3008 back to the workshop this morning and had a look at the scenic and this is nice… then realised I was sitting in an austarl lol. Got in the scenic and was a bit hmmm compared. I do think the ap for the iconic seems good. But do I want another french EV 🫣
The video does make sense TBF. It’s just hard to swallow when the ‘charity’ is sitting on so much profit/reserves. I suppose they took a hit mind when the profits went from £1.1 billion in 22 to only £748 million in 23 and the poor boss only got £673,000.
What I got from the video was, aslong as your bad habbits, youve picked up over the years dont affect your control and safety of the vehicle, you will be fine mate. For example, you could show you are in control of the vehicle by switching on auto hold, therefore at a junction the car is safely under control or use the handbrake and put the car into neutral aswell. Park mode, locks the transmission with a metal pin and is used when the vehicle is parked up after use imo. Drive how you would normally, there is less chance of you complicating matters. They are looing at control, awareness not a prim and proper driving test! Above all don’t worry 🙂
👍
I watched it and understand what this assessment is but what is deemed as safe? ie do I need to apply park and handbrake at every stop like you would in a test.
Here’s a good example and one that caused a riot as it ment I was not allowed out of hospital without a fight.
To get out I had to do an assessment which involved me going into a kitchen in the brain injury unit and make a cooked breakfast all while being watched. I made scrambled eggs, toast and tea.
I went in and done it and nailed it, everthing cooked and not burnt lol and when I said I’m done the OT said have I missed something, I said no and we went back and fourth a bit before she told me that I had not turned the cooker off, I did and this went back and fourth again. She then told that I had not turned it off at the main switch on the wall. I told her I’ve never turned it off at the isolation switch and my argument was that I was not programming the clock every morning and that she had no problem with the kettle being left on at the plug switch.
Because of a brain injury and spending so long in hospital that I got very agitated over this. They eventually agreed after two days that I could go home but I need to think about turning it off at the isolation switch.
So I’m just not looking for another situation like this.
