Delivery News
 

For those of us with new cars on order, I thought it might be useful to have a thread where we can all share any updates.

I’ll go first:

XC90. Order placed 30.10.21. Told 4-5 months so expected around Mar/Apr. Only update from dealer is hands-free boot function has been dropped due to chip shortage.

XC60 T6 Recharge
 

Good plan - I'm waiting on an XC60 Recharge, R-Design. Ordered last Monday, 8th November, estimated delivery late April, so pretty much in line with your expectations too. No word on removal of hands free tailgate yet. Pretty much just hoping they use the time to keep updating the Google AAOS...

S60 T8 Polestar ordered 18/10/21 estimated delivery March 22.

I’ve not heard the electric boot has been dropped, the only thing I knew was the BLiS isn’t on it due to chip shortage.

Dealer have been fairly good so far.

I ordered a XC60 T8 Recharge on 3rd November, dealer estimated end of April 2022 for delivery but no confirmation from the factory as yet.

Hoping the 6 months gives enough time to iron out a few more bugs in AAOS and for wireless CarPlay to be implemented.

Only thing I was told by the dealer, was that no BLIS would be available.

Yes sorry, should have also said the dealer confirmed on ordering that no BLIS would be installed. Having driven a friend’s ‘19 XC60 I have to say I wasn’t bothered by the system not being there, I found it v annoying - but totally appreciate that’s personal preference and understand why some are annoyed they’ve opted to remove what’s basically a safety feature.

CarPlay would be good.

I asked about CarPlay via webchat on Volvo UK, the guy said there was no confirmed date but should be around New Year, remains to be seen.

The first contact I made with Volvo UK around 2 months ago they said mid November. I wouldn’t hold your breath. Q2 2022 may be more realistic 🤣

Just so you guys can set your expectations. I ordered a XC60 T6 Recharge R design back in June which was an early build slot. It didn’t get to me until Mid October after being promised Mid September. Whatever the date the dealer is giving you I would strongly advise you add another 4 weeks onto it.

V60PE ordered in July, last update was delivery expected March.

Wow… approx 9 months then. You win!

XC60 Inscription Pro Recharge ordered 27th September, delivery Apr 22ish

No updates from dealer

No contact from New Motion.

I was also told no BLIS and unlikely Ventilated Nappa Leather
