At least I was lucky with my charger...I recieved the last charger before a 4-5 month delay!
My T4 must be coming over on the same boat as yours! Been delayed until 29th October as well. Really wondering whether I will get the car this year at all

It was meant to be delivered in Feb 2022. Sales guy calls me up after I agree and says the pearl white (what we asked for) just landed in Australia and I got my name on it. Apparently the only one! Could be some sales ploy to get me to double down but hopefully it’s legit. Some of the stories I’m reading here would suggest if it is that I am very lucky.

Of course I can’t pick it up until our lockdown ends - currently planned on November 5th!
Wow. My car is waiting for me to collect. That is 9 days after my initial contact. It's white+black top (R Design).

I have seen it in the flesh but I can't test drive it. Everything about it otherwise looks great. I could wait a month to test drive it before handing over cash, or I can just pick it up. What would you do??

I ordered a PHEV Inscription end of August with the dealer expecting for it to be delivered in Feb. Volvo came back and said it would be delivered end of October which I wasn't expecting given what others are experiencing. Followed up with the dealer today and it is still expected to be delivered at the end of October. I must be very lucky, going by this group it must be in the same build window as the ones delivered in October, I am wondering whether I am receiving a cancelled order?

It could be a possibility a cancelled order. Did you order any optional extra's?

Airplay and a spare wheel both of which will be fitted by the dealer plus the power locks which will be done by the factory.

Checked in with my dealer today on my Incription T3 delivery, ordered end of June. Delivery has gone from 'late September' to '19th November at the dealer'! Leaves me without a car for over a month, and likely a month and a half, which is frustrating.
XC40 Inscription Auto, MY22, T3, Denim Blue. 360 Camera, Dark Tints, Seat Pack, Smartphone Pack. Was due September 2021, now October, and now end of November, finally January! 6 1/2 months :roll: . New to Volvos :D
