Greggspies, Congratulations.
I cant get my head round this, I ordered exactly the same car as you on 23rd April.
Had numerous dates from dealer, every Sunday in fact. The last one said they would get in touch when its in the country, still waiting.
I did receive a E Mail this last Saturday from Volvo UK, but it didn't say anything about delivery about a hour later I got a E Mail from Newmotion regarding their online site survey so hopefully that's a good sign. Waiting in anticipation

Step2534, when I placed our order I asked the dealer to confirm he had build slots available. Your dealer may have taken your order knowing he would have to wait for a build slot to become available to him. Unfortunately about two weeks after our order, as I understand it, the factory order book became full and no new slots were allocated to dealers for a period of 4 to 8 weeks. Your dealer should be able to show you a screen grab of the status of your order. If I were you I would be concerned if he doesn't.

All good, thanks Andy. Thanks for asking. Took some time at the dealers juggling to configure profiles, SIM card etc. There may be a problem with saving seat and mirror positions to the door buttons which don't seem to be working properly - car seems to have mind of its own. But it's a matter of settling down to new ways of doing things after the X1. I'll be saying more after a couple of weeks but already impressed with fuel consumption. An easy 88 mile trip yesterday (mostly motorway) showed silly mpg starting with a full battery but more interesting to me on the return journey with the battery depleted the Volvo app reported 52mpg and 4.3kW regenerated and used.

Ordered my B4 R design on 6 July and was given a date of 17 Sept. Dealer has now updated this to 7 Sept, so actually brought forward. Do the Recharges take longer to build?
