I've been told Late Sept 2022 but no movement on the app or the website, still order processing. Some around this have since been told 2023 which is frustrating as some ordered later than me, have cars on boats already. In my situation I don't care when it turns up as I'm not driving much. Everywhere I go is on the Triple or I walk so have no need for a car. Is frustrating there's no new comms though. They did say once a month for updates and next week will be 2mths since ordering.
Are the colours different? I ordered a red Yaris around July 2020 book had been open a couple of months but received one of the earliest cars due to colour/spec combo.
Electric Blue Manual which if figures are correct account for a quarter of the order. Unless more got in before the link was officially live than we thought. Those are getting cars imminently.

Great news.

Let us know what you think once you've had a drive.

Mine is at Portbury at the mo.

Wish I was in your position. Not a hint of when I might see mine. Bought a number plate for it now too so I should really stick with it and be patient.

Looks great. Post some more photos for us?

Same here.

I'm getting pissed off that after 2 months I am no nearer to knowing when my car will arrive.

Yep. The excitement really has worn off now, I'm very tempted to keep my place in the queue purely to see what the used values are like.

Looks great - is this the same Electric Blue colour that we will get in the UK?

I never got a date for delivery. All the dealings I had were directly with the dealership (I am in Switzerland so a different process). The dealership told me week 24 arrival about 4-5 weeks before that and in the end the car arrived 1 week later.

I have not seen it yet in person. The sales guy sent me these pictures this morning.



I asked him to take off the front plate box as we have smaller front plates here.



It's not clear yet when I'll get it. I see online that a bunch of people are being told there is a recall and they won't get the car for a while.

I have not been told anything about this potential delay yet.

Yep, same blue. Bright Blue here, Electric in the UK, Neptune in the US etc. Same colour though.

Could you ask your son if he's heard about a brake recall issue?

Some on GR.zoohave said their orders have been pushed back a couple of months.

Toyota dealerships are normally the last to find out about these things.

That's slightly misleading, no one knows if those things are linked.

A couple of people in Europe have been told their cars are being held due to a brake recall. No official word from anyone UK based as yet.

Separately to this, the delivery date in the hidden system (which TUK said cannot be relied upon) has been pushed back on some UK cars which is causing the standard internet panic.

I think a 6 week delay (mine now shows mid October) is a pretty good reason for a mild panic.... Let's hope that's all it is.

But you're basing that on an update from a back end website that TUK are saying isn't accurate? ...which you're trusting over your dealer who looked it up on their internal system that still showed a July date?

I'm not sure what to believe at the moment, TUK comms haven't exactly been great so far.

Nothing as yet, but he’s also said pdi’s taking place at Portbury.

I went to see it.

It's even better in the metal.

However, as you have all heard, they cannot give it to me yet. They don't know why.

My sales guy thinks 50-80 in Switzerland for the first round (no idea how long a period that spans). Someone tried to buy my car from them already. Seems there are only 2 bright blue ones in the country.
