On the verge of cancelling my order

[Oakley1]

It sad news that I am on the verge of cancelling my order for a Ariya Evolve e4orce. When I first placed my order I was told June July Delivery but over time it’s moved from August, Mid September and Mid October. Last week the dealer told me that all dates for all Ariya’s have now been changed to Autumn delivery with no dates for two wheel drive and AWD. So if I can get my Deposit back I will cancel. Shame as I did like the car but I don’t think we will see any deliveries this year because of components shortest I would think.

Car cancelled deposit refunded.

My sympathies and am considering the same. I don't suppose Nissan want to lose orders but the elastic nature of delivery promises is about to snap.

I wonder which new car you will order and cancel next. Your experience is absolutely normal for all new car purchases regardless of car type or manufacturer. Amongst friends, I have heard exactly the same story of extended delivery for BMW 1 Series petrol, Mini EV, VW iD3, JLR Evoque petrol and several more. Until the industry manages its way around the chip shortage, delayed manufacture and delivery is here to stay. The next phenomenon to appear is the deletion of specified items. After carefully choosing specification, you get contacted to say that this, this and this is deleted from the specification for a given cash adjustment. Do you still wish to proceed with the order?

I agree with the above unfortunately, it is the same everywhere and I fear cancelling an order with this means you're right at the back of the queue for everything else too.
