Is the bootlid PIN code feature shown in this video real?! I might have to read the manual to pass the time whilst waiting for an estimated delivery date...

Bloody hell I reckon I'm into 2024. When do they stop selling them?
This basically confirms that the phone call has no bearing on the ordering process and it's only there to supply customers with some basic information.I have a call with Toyota Online Team which I found they are actually very helpful.
My call was intended to discuss to apply PCP now so that I can arrange to extend my current finance deal until my new GR86 arrives. He is really helpful and will try to discuss my case with Toyota Finance.
After that, I asked that if there is any news or update on my car and when will I receive my welcome call, he said he can actually do the welcome call now which is surprising.
During the call, he mentioned that my ETA would very likely be Q1 2023 but they are going to give us update monthly and hopefully more accurate ETA could be given in the next couple of months. He has also helped me to change my preferred dealer.
I have also asked about the Sport Package added to my car - He said currently there is no option for these accessories and need to wait for update. He cannot confirm that who to ask to add these options.
That`s pretty much the call is about. Hope this helps.
I reckon decisions were made to stop calls as no estimated order dates could be confirmed for a lot of the orders past 10:30 am on 20/04 so no useful information could be provided then.
Well they stopped selling them at about 11:30 on the 20th April
. They can deliver them up to 1st July 2024**but no one has officially said that, that's just when the new GSR comes in**
**Although the UK doesn't actually have to comply with the GSR as we aren't in the EU anymore, meaning the GR86 could continue to be sold, but that's another story and I'm not starting that rumour.

The person I spoken to TFS this morning is really helpful and He directed me to get a proposal number from TGB so that TFS can extend my finance.I called TFS direct last week and they referred me back to the dealerI think the person I spoke to just wanted to pass the buck and didn't know what they were talking about.
I had a confirmed order around the same time as yours and had resigned my self to a 2023 delivery so seems that looks like it will be the case.
This is the reason why I tried to call TGB and asked for applying PCP now to get a proposal number. The person from TGB said the lead time of the GR86 is extremely long and no point to apply the PCP and doing credit check now which I may have do it again once I have my GR86 next year. He will instead reach TFS and pass all the information he had and try to sort the extend out for me.
Hopefully , I will get something back asap and will post the update here.
Ha ha, I believe I have opted for a fairly rare option of 6AT in Magnetite Grey, when it will turn up is anyone's guess.Welcome to @AlexB who has managed to secure a GR86 , #16 on The List is just waiting to know what colour and transmission you have gone for , the bookmakers “favourite“ would be on 6MT in Electric Blue or Ignition Red, a “Lucky Dip” on the Euro Millions would be a 6AT in Ice Silver or Pearl White

That's good to know as TFS told me they'd call me in 4 weeks time hoping I'd have an ETA by then so they can extend my current PCP, which won't be the case. I'll call the Online Team in the next couple of weeks if I don't hear from to see if they can also discuss with TFS and hopefully extend my agreement. I don't really want to pay the balloon off given I'm not keeping the car.
Thanks for the update!!

What's next GR86, new prime minister or nuclear war?
Hopefully we get it before the latter

Hi, I'm new to this forum.
I received my order confirmation on the 20th April at 10:56am.... are we anywhere near that time yet to receive the 'welcome call'?
BTW Red, MT.

You will get a call anytime over the next 11 weeks.

Thanks for sharing , some really useful info in there!
Love the idea of being able to lock the key fob in the boot/car if needed (though suspect doing the PIN code in the dark might look like you're trying to break in!), shame its not something like an 'active key' that Land Rover use which is like a waterproof wrist band, but still there are lots of clever features and options on the car that makes me think how well its been thought about.

Thanks I had that email mentioning 'over the next 12 weeks' etc
Perhaps what I'm trying to find out is there anyone on here who's had 'the call' for an order confirmed around 10:56 on 20th April. I know two weeks ago Toyota Online were processing orders at the 10:30am mark.
Just curious to see where I am in the scheme of things....
Thanks

Reading back through posts here, people who ordered at 10:12 and 10:13 have had 'the call' today, with an ETA of 2023 (but nothing more exact than that). I'm starting to think the people making the call haven't really got much more of an idea of when cars will arrive than any of us. Must be hard to be in their position with so little real information to give out. Don't hold your breath, it may be a while for a call, and even when you get one, don't expect too much info.
