Warehouse full of brand new 720's

So what is going on here, there has to be 40+ cars in that place. Could it be as simple as they are waiting for export or is it just McLaren making far too many?

If these are unsold stock I'd be very interested in McLarens business model.

quick google suggests maybe 12-15 cars a day

so a weeks out put sitting there at most?

maybe they only ship on a Friday or similar

I thought this but if they are being shipped within a few days why have them all on trickle chargers?

No offence caused I assure you old chap.

I have no desire to come over all RL but it is increasingly frustrating reading posts from idiots like TP321 knocking the brand in an attempt to get a rise. Equally whilst impossible to prove it strikes me that this thread was started as another “oh look McLaren isn’t doing well is it ?”.

I’m fully aware of the issues some cars are having, I have been fairly lucky over two cars and 16,000 miles so far, I also believe my dealer (Glasgow) is the best in the network.

I’m sorry for the issues you have suffered and I can 100% believe them. It’s really disappointing because these are such good cars at their core.

My annoyance, and indeed bewilderment, is why it seems so many non-owners are keen to bash the brand and actively seek to promote the bad experiences genuine owners such as those you have had. I don’t see this happening on other brand fora and really don’t understand why McLaren has attracted this strange following on PH.

Just to clarify, I never started this thread as a dig at McLaren, even after experiencing no end of problems with my first 570 and losing more in depreciation than my previous 3 cars combined I still bought a 2nd 570 so its safe to say I am a supporter of the brand.

I presumed by the time I purchased the second car they would have got their act together but the reliability and customer service still leaves a lot to be desired. I got the spider not long after launch but even then there were still a huge number of stock cars available which made me think twice about taking delivery.

I'd love to know why McLaren insist on making so many cars that they end up having to give discounts, this may work in the short term but in the long term I'm not so sure.

If anyone from McLaren is reading this please take notice of Ferrari, Porsche and Rolex's brand management and product supply.
