So someone on Speak EV was contacted yesterday and told this deal was a huge mistake and has had his order cancelled. Hmm.

Reading that person's post, I think it means they didn't make it into the available allocation - he says he didn't have a build slot or delivery date/. Then someone has cocked up by not communicating it to him. Bit annoying to say the least for him, but I don't think it is typical.

The example quoted was for an SE deal so not the £400/m deal on the S that this thread relates to. I've signed the finance docs and had signed copy returned by finance company so I think that's a fairly good sign that things will proceed to conclusion and the car will materialise.

Same, paperwork done, build date given.

Same here too. I also had notification from my bank that the direct debit had been set up last week.

I ordered with Fleetprices and was initially told to expect delivery in April.

Received an email from FP yesterday saying everything was now accepted and delivery would be late February.

Seen a post on SpeakEV that Jaguar have ramped production up so it looks like cars might be coming through earlier than expected. I'll still be delaying until after April.

[red_slr]

I was told April. Have a build date of 12th Jan I think it is. ETA at dealer 15th Feb.

Still waiting for a build date from fleet prices fir an April delivery. Not impressed.

They are having a fire sale now...

Probably end up being like that Volvo hybrid fire - some scumbag poured petrol on it and torched it, but of course, HYBRID CAR CATCHES FIRE is a much better headline.

This fire didn't seem to directly involve the battery pack did it.

[RobDickinson]

Nope, no idea what's in there that would catch fire?

Their service has been really good with us so I am surprised you are having problems. They respond very quickly by email.
You been emailing the supportteam email address?

Sounds like you might get it in Jan/Feb going from all the previous dates being posted on here and speakev.

Same experience for me. In fact, I've had another update email this morning just confirming everything is on track for next Feb.

Mine is being built tomorrow apparently with delivery to the dealer 25th Jan.

The OBC and Charging sockets are at the upper rear of the front wings........... Damaged contact and high current = heat. Not sure if the car monitors the contact temperature (the charger generally monitors the internal charge handle temperature and can terminate charging if excessive heat is sensed) but that could lead to a thermal event that spreads.

[RobDickinson]

Even my bogo 8amp charger monitors heat at the socket etc
ah well st happens hope its figured out and made right

IIRC I saw a Dutch poster suggest that there had been a spate of car fires in the area.

‘Arson it seem, traduction is sketchy but I think I understand there was another car fire in the same area the same day or the night before.’

‘The Dutch article (in translation) was hilarious, describing a nearby town as “carbecue” territory.’
