Rav4 Estimated Delivery, etc

[ernieb]

The Covid situation in Japan has not yet peaked and many of the prefecture’s have imposed stricter conditions as of a few days ago. It must be impacting obviously the Toyota factories but also the supply chain.

Did the dealer give you an exact delivery date ? My PHEV ordered 1st Dec and I was given May or sooner. If your dealer can give you a date I may press my dealer for one. 

[Bcc212]

Mine is a company car, but nevertheless, I am updated with progression from order, assigned dealership and lease company. 

I’d be very surprised if they couldn’t give you a date. After my order was accepted I had a follow up email about 2 weeks later letting me know the arrival date.

Thanks for the info. I think my sales guy is only interested in selling cars  and doesn’t appear to know anything about customer service! I think I will drop in and have a chat with him tomorrow.

Can anyone confirm if what I understand from this Toyota JSON file showing my order (Dynamic Premium PHEV) that these are what I think they are:
 

my estimated delivery date to dealer is 8/3/22 

my Car left Japan 14/1/22

Left Portbury 13/2/22

and is on its way to Derby 

thanks.

George.....yes except it's due to arrive in the UK (Portbury) 13/2/22... should be in Burnaston a few days after that

Yes, sorry my mistake 😂 that’s all good news,  many thanks for confirming suspicions, although I know they might not be definite but here’s hoping !

I have noticed a change on status for car and Toyota not helpful 

According to App and web tracking, car arrived on Portbury last week, moved to Darby and has been for last 7 days or so, however it’s now showing on website it’s back in Portbury.

Does anyone know if this is normal Prior to transport to dealership , it’s due to go to Edinburgh.

Thanks

That is usual behaviour, it always seems to go backwards before just before it progresses to the next step. Mine updated within about an hour. Mine jumped straight to arrived at dealer so it might be there. (My dealer was only about 6 miles from Burnaston though)

Well my new RAV was handed over on Friday (Excel AWD Black, Beige leather ordered early August).

It did turn out to be a 2021, I suspect I missed out on a 2022 by a month or so before the production change.
Not really bothered its not 2022 as changes only minor to my mind. Looks very regal in metallic Black, quite a change from luminous Cyan!

Handed back my 2019 RAV at 65K looking good as new (resisted door dings and stone chips very well) and driving perfect, the Beige leather still looked good without much discolouring and still tight and un-creased or cracked.

Changes on my 2021? well it has Android auto, had a play for about 20 mins and didn't find anything useful (to me) so uninstalled it. I really didn't want bigger wheels, but I will admit it when I am wrong, the 19" over the 18" do look a lot better and fill the arches and have only had a very minor effect on the ride, a very small extra sensitivity to small road blemishes but its still a very comfortable car. Its now got the electronic pedestrian warning sound at low speed my 2019 didn't. Came with Toyo tyres which don't seem too bad. It might be my imagination, but the rear glass looks slightly less tinted than my 2019 but I can't imagine why.

Usual first business, adjusted tyre pressures as they often forget and deliver at 39/40 psi. Set to 34 feels instantly less tippy toe. Need to adjust the headlights up so not too low, as shipped, 2021's don't come with a spare (only reason I am sad about not hitting a 2022 as they do have spare) already ordered a spacesaver kit off The Wheel Shop (£170 shipped), fitted a new rubber boot mat (B&M do a generic one you trim yourself covers 90% of the boot, was fine in my old RAV) installed Dashcam, ordered some new rubber cubby inserts from China (existing ones wrong colour now) did all the car and multimedia pairing to app. Its got to go on the road and earn its living tomorrow.

So stuck with me on the group for a while yet haha!

(PS what the heck do I do with an Issho??)

I don't know, company car handled by lease company, never got access to manufacture tracking data or documentation. Tried!

[Firecycle]

My RAV was scheduled to have arrived in Portbury today, MyT not updated yet but that's no surprise, it's scheduled to be at the dealers for the 18th Feb

According to the JSON data, my PHEV left Japan on 22/12, arrived and departed Portbury on 22/1 but it doesn't say it's at Derby yet. Date of final destination (dealer I assume) is 14/2. So yes, if that pans out, about 3 weeks at Burnaston.

Myt now says PHEV at Burnaston and scheduled at dealers earlier now on 4/2 though dealer tells me mid February.... we'll see who's right

[Firecycle]

It's all pretty fluid, at least Toyota are building and delivering unlike some manufacturers 

[Firecycle]

MyT has just pinged into life again and its at Burnaston

[Disco Pants]

Looks like a few cars are coming through now. Ordered my RAV4 Excel 2WD beginning of Nov, was due in 1st of Feb, got told last week it will now be 14th June, some delay there   Don't really mind the delay its more the timing, surely they know more than weeks away when the delivery is going to be.

Toyota is having problems in Japan not just with supply chain shortages, but also with the Covid 19 pandemic, and had to close 5 plants in January due to the combination of issues. Not known at this time whether these closures will continue beyond January.

[Roger_N]

Unless you were getting a canceled order, I think your initial estimate was very optimistic, mine was ordered on the 18^th of October and is due mid to late February. Others on here have around the same wait. Currently the web site is showing 36 weeks for a new order.

[Malcdee]

Ordered my Excel on 21st September, it’s now at the dealers waiting for 1st March delivery.
