Hands Up all the Aussies

[morgand]

The high beams aren't Adaptive? Nothing like Matrix Audi or the equiv and amazingly awesome Mercedes-Benz system I have now.

You have auto high/low beam, however nothing fancier than that I think.

However, having driven from Melbourne to Brisbane, and in the early morning dawn over the tablelands out of Bathurst in a spirited nature on the twisty roads, I can say they work very well.

That's BMW for you but what I have now is a bit more advanced. Really good tech, should really be standard!

 

[West Aussie]

That's what I thought, surely all the protos would be gone by now.
At least this dealer does call and offer some alternatives which is good

I would have taken a proto manual if I had been offered it…but I wasn’t

After a week with my Z4 I can say…I do still miss a manual.BUT everything else is superior …the tech is maxing in this thing, far in advance of the Z and it’s three years old.
Having said that a Z4 new is another 30k more than a Z …so it should be advanced

My car is built but still hasn't shipped. I don't think a May delivery is likely..

Almost there mate, once shipped it’s just a month

Mine is identical to this. I'm hoping i'm right, but there's a chance they might already be here:

The Z groups i'm in on FB have been dead quiet for weeks, but suddenly in the last few weeks there's been a flurry of 3 guys with similar order times to myself having taken delivery, all in Queensland and NSW. Might be wishful thinking but i'm hoping mine's on the way down the coast as we speak

Nope don’t think so sadly.
Mine was the same, built but not on a ship. The dealers spoke to the head honchos because I told them I was walking away. When I returned and asked for a refund they still could not promise a May delivery because head office confirmed that it was not on a ship yet
I’ve seen the guys on Facebook…all silver
Hope I’m wrong for you guys sake
All I know is I was very happy driving the Z4 with the roof down today..it was probably the first day that I knew I had made the right decision for sure

As above, system is updated once vehicle has shipped.

I’d love to know if this is available for Australia… and I'd like to hear an acceleration and drive by

My dealer sent me the same screen shot but my production date was December 2022 week 1 confirmed. Still not shipped yet though.

This is a copy of the screenshot i received a while back. I had received a letter from Nissan Australia stating i would receive my car in Feb 23. WRT the date ordered shown, this doesn't align with the true order date but i was informed that when the dealership had to confirm orders with customers this new date was created in the Nissan system. Not sure on this though. This may have affected my delivery date given i put my deposit down in Sept 2021.
I spoke with my dealer yesterday and my order is still showing as not shipped yet. So looks like June now at the earliest.
Has anyone had further updates on their orders - such as shipped?

To put it into perspective, my nissan dealer didn’t know anything more after the above status until it was on a ship and already in Australian waters. 3 weeks after that, I received the car.

Same, no update. Not expecting anything as it didn't look like many boats were scheduled at the moment. Personal guess is July onwards. Hopefully the cars are being kept undercover or it'll be clay bar time when they finally arrive!

But the point is this car and many others are showing up as being made from Dec to Feb week 2 …that’s anywhere between 12-18 weeks ago, and still not on a boat?
Meanwhile the dealerships are now full of unsold cars.
So what’s really going on? Even if the Feb builds haven’t left what’s the excuse for the December one when there have been plenty of other Nissans sent after that time, and why are they prioritising unsold cars for customers that have been waiting 2 years.
I know they make more from other models, but if they haven’t sold them they are giving up money from sold Zs that will at least pay for the production of them with a little to spare …and if they have really been made that’s money they need rather than risk more and more cancelled orders.

None of it makes sense. I wouldn’t even be surprised if they haven’t been made yet because it just doesn’t add up
By the time the Dec build gets here it will be 6months old that’s if it leaves in the next three weeks.

Really??
