Delivery News

[Dohnut]

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.

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.

[SoutEastHornet]

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.

[Marg77]

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.

Picked up my XC60 in July2021 only for it to spend more time in garage due to software errors. Garage decided to order me a new car as errors could not be fixed. New XC60 ordered in a pre allocated build slot September with delivery last week in December. This was pushed to first week of January 2022 in October and has now been pushed to 28th January. Dealer in formed me last week if no update to the Google system by my delivery then new car will have same errors and behave in the same way.

Planning on picking car up and trading it in for something without google the same day at the moment. Trade in price is more than the price I have paid due to discounts received after the hassle with first car.

Don’t hold any hope it will be delivered in January thinking more March for new registration plate.

The more I read and hear about the Google system the happier I am the S60 doesn’t come with it and sticks with the tried and tested Senus system.

Me too, I just picked up my new MY22 S60 with the Sensus system and pretty please with it.

Argh - I went to see my dealer today with a view to haggling and ordering a V60 T8.

Then he hit me.

A month ago delivery time was estimated to be May - so around 7 months.
Now it's estimated October. That's October 2022. So 11 months.

And the new trims are in the system.

So, the R-design becomes Plus Dark. All the options I wanted are there. Satnav is included now. There's maybe a 1% price increase on the spec I had planned.

But 11 months estimated. OMG.
