Toyota sent me the link so i tracked my car all the way , The dealer phoned to tell me that the car had arrived I told him I know I’ve been tracking it halfway around the world. 

Thanks for that Mark, really appreciated. I placed my order first thing this morning and was told I should get a chassis number sometime today. Hopefully once that arrives I can add it to MyT and watch the progress.

Yes thats what i got , it’s great being able to track the car plus it shows you how they’ve been driving it when they’ve moved it lol

strange, no-one really knows at Toyota why my app says my car is in Uk.  Dealer checked again today to be told "September"

MyT notified me 12 days ago saying that my RAV4 had left the factory but the map still shows it in Japan.  Silly question but does the map update shippng position enroute to UK or does it only update when it arrives in Portbury?

Thanks in advance!

No, sadly it does not track the ship.  I tried to see what ships had left the port but in the end looked at the date I guessed it would arrive at Portbury, looked at the expected arrivals and their start point and guessed on a couple and tracked them via a shipping web site, I got one right by kept me in the game. 🙂

How long did it take from Japan to Portbury?

Thanks B

[ernieb]

Average 4/5 weeks, maybe more depends on what ports it has to call into on its way

Ordered mine in April 21, and took 7 weeks 2 days from placing the order to driving away from the showroom.

I think the actual sailing time varies between 5-6 weeks.

[ColinB]

Ordered mine at the end of July, it took 13 weeks, including a week sitting at the dealers awaiting PDC

To be honest previous delivery times are meaningless- it is the situation now that matters, not what it was 3-6 months ago.

I’ve received an order number from the dealerbut no email confirmation from Toyota

 how do I find my car on the MyT app?

 It wants a vin or number plate, neither of which exists yet

The dealer needs to add the information and they have to wait for it to be supplied by Toyota.

My dealer set it up straight away so have been tracking my car from about 2 days after ordering. In addition I have had the odd progress email from the dealer and/or sales person too. So far impressed with the dealers and process. Dealers are Burrows of Doncaster, recommended by a colleague.

More specifically, your dealer needs to associate your order (the order number) with your My Toyota account. Provided that your dealer has the same email address for you that you use for your My Toyota account that should happen (or be able to happen) straightforwardly. Either way, if you want to be able to track your order though the process you need to contact your dealer and get them to set that up.

Dealer claims it will log and happen automatically

I ordered a RAV4 15th October and I was told It would arrive 25th of April. My dealer called me couple of weeks ago and told me It would arrive in March and he called me again last week  and said it's arriving in February now. He can't  even tell me whether it will be updated MY22 or not...  Has anyone ordered RAV4 in recent months , if they have, what's your estimated delivery time ?  Thanks.

Ordered my RAV4 PHEV on 27th September and received notificition today (29th October) that it is in transit from Portbury and after some checks it will be on way to my dealer in Edinburgh.  The initial ETA in Edinburgh was supposed to be 7th January, then updated to 21st December but not sure how long it takes once it has arrived in the UK.  Getting super excited now.  Can anyone give an indication as to how long it takes from arrival in UK to reaching dealer for pick up?

[ernieb]

The normal route is after reaching Portbury then to Derbyshire and then to the dealer.  All of this will depend on availability of transporters (drivers) I think mine took about 2/3 weeks but that was back in May. Exciting times it would be good to have it for Christmas and have time to play over the holiday season.

I ordered mine the day after and was told it is expected at the dealership on 20th December. We do not want it until January so it has 2022 registration date on the V5. 

[Flatcoat]

Depends on too many variables and the HEV seems to take longer than a PHEV. My guess is improving supplies of semi conductors and possibly reduced demand due to waning consumer confidence are improving delivery times. 

[Firecycle]

Ordered mine on 4th October and as far as I'm aware it's still arriving mid March but then again I it's an Excel with Premium Pack so whether that makes any difference  I am unsure

I thought the V5 followed the number plate registration in which case it would have to be March?

[Flatcoat]

The date of registration and first ownership will be at some point in January - therefore next year which is 2022. That will make it year newer come eventual sale. The digits on the Registration plate is irrelevant to me albeit it will be on a private plate we have had for years. 

[Flatcoat]

My PHEV was ordered on 28th September and arrived at Portbury yesterday. Due at dealers 20th December however will be registered for January collection.
