Are things on the up?

I've noticed that there seems to be more members taking delivery of their Evoques, plus there are new members introducing themselves as news owners on the forums.

Obviously with the passage of time this is to be expected, but, given the news regarding various delays this can only be good.

Also I've seen a post somewhere, with a member saying his dealer had commented they are over the worst now.

Anyone getting similar vibes?

RE: Are things on the up?

My build chart (see putting some numbers on things thread) shows now that the daily build rate is back over 300 Evoques a day (based on a 7 day build week) and rising, so hopefully the teething troubles are over and things will return to normal, The 5Dr orders are more delayed than the Coupe's and so may take a bit longer to settle and recover delayed orders. Hopefully we'll all be taking delivery soon and start to be happy customers Very Happy

(I get mine Monday!) Mr. Green

That's my anticipated delivery date - hope mine comes through early! (although very unlikely)

My dealer has confirmed twice that there is no delays to my build date of the 25th Nov (and I haven't had any delays yet)

I will say things are on the up when I know my car is on the production line!

Ordered June 11, Built - 24th November - Delivered - 7th Dec - NO DELAYS

Thats about right I believe, depends on final inspection and if anything needs doing, and getting it transported takes time too and then PDI etc. My build date was 9th and I pick it up 21st, and dealer has done PDI PDQ!

RE: Are things on the up?

I Spoke to my dealer on Tuesday (Lakeland Landrover) as I was just passing by & thought I would take a quick look at their Dynamic they have in the showroom again!, but also to confirm my tow bar option, straight away he told me that the car is now likely to be delivered mid January with a build mid December (initial delivery was for mid March/order placed on the 10 Oct) so it does sound Like things are starting to pick up!!

Arrived 1st March: Dynamic Lux Coupe SD4 auto, Body Fuji White with Black pano roof, style 7 alloys with Verve interior & ebony headliner, tow bar, Privacy Glass, Solar Attenuating glass, Heated steering wheel, high beam assist, Adaptive xenon's.

RE: Are things on the up?

I am picking up mine next friday! Bearing in mind that it is a 5dr Pure Firenze with pano roof and xenons I guess I have to consider myself lucky! All of those specs have had issues at some point...

Enjoying enormously: Pure Td4 Automatic, Firenze Red, almond/espresso interior, panorama roof with rails, Pure tech pack, clearview pack & cold weather pack, parking radars front and back + camera.

Cripes don't get my hopes up jasongusta, I ordered a coupe on or around the same date in Oct, going to pay a bit more attention to my e-mails.Very Happy
