I was told mid next year sorry. Honestly I think no one has a clue what’s going on 😂

Absolutely. All we can do is to wait and hope for a faster delivery.

Can anyone tell me what Toyota do to the cars when they arrive in Derby before onward transport to the ordering dealer? I am told they do a PDI but when I talked to my dealer I was told that not much is done with the car in Derby and the receiving dealer does the PDI?

Just got an update from the dealer and my car is expected at the dealership this week so I am well pleased.

I heard they do the initial PDI but also make the car UK ready, e.g. applying the required warning labels, settings and calibrations. I was also told they fit some of the factory fit extras, presumably it would be something like styling or protection pack (maybe tow bar?) rather than things like dashcams.

Maybe nonsense, just what I'd been told.

Hi everybody.

Just ordered a PHEV. I stressed the dealer in specifying if we were talking about MY21 or MY23 model. Of course I am aiming to the MY23. He wasn't sure about what model year I was getting, so I told him that I am ready to cancel the order at any time even if it means to lose the deposit.

Received an email today saying that he got confirmation from his administrator that the model ordered is the, I quote, "RE2 model which is the newest model MY23".

ETA May 2023

 

Anyone knows what RE2 stand for? Restyling edition 2? couldn't find anything online or on the forum.

 

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have been told that the new ETA for my Rav4 excel is first week of October 2022 but the Dealership has no further update.  MyT app has been in ''Processing Order'' since January 2022 that I ordered this car. Please is there anyone with the same experience?

I ordered mine end of January and never had app working the whole time 🤷🏻‍♂️ Apparently mine is in “Build”.

New car arrived at the dealers today. With PDI etc I will be picking it up sometime next week. Had a quick look at it and I think it is awesome. I noticed that there is no charging mat where the front USB port is ho hum.

Yes, exactly the same. MyT still says "processing order" yet dealer has advised October collection.

My lease company have contacted me this morning. My order (RAV4 Excel) has arrived at the dealer. Just waiting for further instructions for collection/delivery. Ordered early Jan.

Ordered my RAV4 PHEV (2022) early March, ETA was end of August 2022 and when signing the contract it was September 2022. I live in Nordic countries. April they suddenly stopped sales here when there was some urgent order from Brussels (Toyota Europe HQ?) with a few hours warning (said one dealer). They continued sales after few weeks with a new price list (higher prices), still I believe with MY2022 cars. Then June they stopped that and published MY2023 price list (with even higher prices) and said deliveries of MY2023 cars would be the beginning of 2023. I checked a couple times from my dealer the ETA during summer and it was always the same, even though there was not any unit number info etc. on their system (said "NULL") as late as couple weeks ago.

Yesterday I got an email (along with few hundred others in my country) from the importer, that MY2022 RAV4 PHEV production has been shut down in Japan for some months now and MY2022 production will not continue. The factory plans to start MY2023 production "October". So now all of us (at least in my country) who ordered MY2022 car will get a MY2023 car but later than originally estimated. They could not give any estimate yet on the delivery time. I guess earliest would be December 2022 (if one would get their car produced in October), probably later than that. Don't know how it works with Toyota, if Toyota Europe has one big chunk production quota that the Brussels divides to different countries or how it works. Not that optimistic I would get the car this year. Couple weeks ago the dealer said the delivery times for RAV4 PHEV are now around 9 months (order in August, get in April 23).

Witch grade of the rav4 have you ordered? I am still waiting for mine. Ordered in February this year with panoramic sunroof and all the packages. Dealer eta now says 9.december.

Have now got my new car collection date and time weyhey. Wednesday at 1600, I can hardly wait. The most frustrating part of all this is my dealer is about 600 metres from my home and the car has been there since last Tuesday. 
As a Motability customer, the earliest I could have picked the car up would have been today (19th), but for obvious reasons that was a no go and they are snowed under tomorrow so Wednesday it is.

Congratulations Iain, when did you put in your order please? I put mine in mid February and my dealer told me that my eta is first week of October.

Can someone give me information about your the dash you can have fitted please? I.e. how much does it cost, is it hidden, is it decent quality? Thanks

Try this: https://www.vantagemotorgroup.co.uk/toyota/servicing-offers/dash-cam/

[Iain_M]

I will post some pics of the dash cam setup and the cost after I pick the car up tomorrow. As far as I know at the moment it is a Nextbase 380GW front and rear setup that is being fitted.

[Pashley]

Thanks guys for the info!

Make sure they fit the ferrite cores to the rear dash cam lead, or it can cause interference on the Dab radio signal. 

[Iain_M]

Well today was supposed to be car collection day ho hum. Unfortunately there was a snag with the paperwork and I am hoping it will be sorted tomorrow. The car is sat outside the dealers just up the road and its very frustrating. 

Got a call at 1640 to get to the garage, all paperwork sorted, now a very happy chappie. Weyhey

Dashcam and rear cams all fitted, doesn't seem to be any problems in the car from interference. The camera fitted by the Toyota dealer is the Nextbase 380GWX which includes the rear camera in the bundle. I paid £350 for theft and caboodle fitted which seems a lot but if there are any problems I will be back to the dealer. The dash cams do not have screens on them, they are accessed via your smart phone and where they are fitted in the car they are hardly noticeable.

According to my dealer, my PHEV is still not due until November.  Ordered in mid-February.  Maybe I will get a 2023MY???
