Hands Up all the Aussies

[jezzza]

Now I’m watching closely to see how they allocate coupes. For instance if my dealer gets allocated a red, but not yellow…they better still be offering it to the first order on the system. I’d be happy with most (not all) colours

We've known for months now that dealerships here ain't getting allocations like they are in the US.

Disclaimer I’m not saying impossible and def not discounting your concerns.

But just going with a odds on approach.

and if I was in your scenario and they did demos b4 customer cars I would be pissed.

I agree unlikely…but.
The yellow is a proto, so the yellow won’t be for demo…that along with one of the others that will be heading to a dealer could be a demo. If three dealers are in the metro area there is the possibility that a truck could visit three, it’s not a huge number.

As I said, like you I think it’s unlikely, but if they are for buyers why have none of the coupe people been contacted as yet?

Hopefully the halt on new orders will skew deliveries back to customers.

I’m not aware on a halt on new orders outside Japan.

did I miss something?

I think you're right, it looks like it might just be domestic sales in Japan. Hopes dashed ?

Whilst they haven’t officially halted new orders…they do state

JOIN THE QUEUE

Interest globally for the all-new Nissan Z has been overwhelming resulting in Nissan receiving enough reservations to meet our production capacity for 2022. If you wish to join the queue for any future production availability please complete the form below and your local Nissan Dealer will be in touch.

Meaning no new orders will be delivered this year …..so still telling people you can order but you ain’t getting one, another reason why demos are a mystery in my opinion

I'm sort of glad they have Demos. Give's customers a chance to test drive.
Who knows, some people may pull out after the test drive.

Suppose everyone is different…I think a happy medium would be to allow maybe two demos per state for people to have a try ….and restrict it to those who have orders in initially so that if people do drop out their order is redistributed quickly

I can understand dealerships wanting demonstration vehicles but it just hurts because we placed our orders/reservations long before they did. It feels a bit like they're jumping the queue.

Quietly hoping that a few retail Coupes arrive alongside these Proto/demos.

Completly agree on all fronts
What I’m interested in, is the statement I posted clearly states 2022 build has been exhausted…meaning there must be a 2022 build …meaning surely some coupes will be delivered at least by years end ….meaning surely people who ordered on April. 2021 will be looked after

SURELY ?

that's been there for some time.

in fact it was there when they took my order, and when processing it it did say a 2023 build, tho looking at the numbers I'm thinking it will end up with a MY24 at least if not a 2024 build..

so def still taking orders, and why would they not.

Tesla have proven how taking orders for imaginary cars can value their company so much more than actually building cars!

Ha ha. I would start looking at your ship logs again if I were you.

You miss my point

Just got my call for a Proto allocation.. Auto though. Probably gonna turn it down, really want the manual. Just goes to show they’re still allocating Proto’s, or maybe this was one that someone else had turned down.

Wow.
I cant believe they haven't finalised these yet.
