After being delivered 122 years ago for a few days I'm now on 13th October in dev tools. 10:06 order I think. Still nowt official from either Toyota or their dealer informing me of the delay, I'd be completely in the dark without this forum.

Just checked and I am in the same situation, eta switched this morning.

I am wondering what 122 years of paint discolouration will look like ...
 
Are we getting to a place where we can update this list on page 1 or still a right old mess?
 
Mine changed to Build In Progress when I’ve just checked it in the MyT app this morning. Dev tools still showing ETA as 03/11 so no change there and 3 months from going into build to delivery is pretty much what I was expecting. No notification from the app or email yet, so I guess the notification can’t be relied on.

From the looks of it all the 'batch 1' cars are now looking like 17/10 for release. It must be some sort of homologation or parts retro fit that gives a date so far in the future but also bunching them all together?

Same, didnt get any notifications from the app on these changes just jumped from processing to left the factory to in Portbury in the space of 3 days. The dev code also updated from no info a week ago, to left factory end of June and Portbury 30/7.
 
My estimated date seems to have now changed from 1900-01-01 to 2022-10-13.

Why such a long wait since the car is already in the country

There's a 7 page discussion on the reasons here: https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/why-aren’t-gr86’s-being-delivered.1770/

...but to summarise, no one knows and people have provided all kinds of reasons:

To align with an EU wide release date
To fix / add / modify certain components required by EU legislation
For UK configuration of some electronics bobbins
To fit missing components like parking sensors that were on the spec sheet but not on the UK press cars
To fix engine problems that are cropping up in other countries before release here (https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/engine-failure.1702/page-2#post-28053)
...and probaby loads of others I've forgotton about already.

The voicemail I got from Toyota said the cars need to go through customs (mine is still at portbury), regulatory checks (as its a new model) and emissions checks. That to me sounds like they've not been homologated or waiting for a wider EU sign off which is also possible and not a quick process. The press cars/show cars were pre prod do didnt go through these processes.

It would be highly unlikely a manufacturer would build new cars for customers without homologation approval. No there is an issue somewhere and that’s all a smokescreen. Makes me more suspicious that they just can’t tell the truth and take customers as idiots.
 
The more time goes by the more I think the delay is due to the silicon/engine issue. Cars already made having to be checked/fixed before delivery, later orders not built yet being pushed back to modify build process to fix issue.
The other option would be to deliver cars anyway then issue recall, but that doesn’t sound like good PR.
Not that being vague about the reason is good PR either of course.
I guess we’ll find out at some point far in the future!
 
I wish they would be honest and say, I’m likely to delay mine on purpose now and watch what happens with this RTV issue.

I wish they had actually communicated the decision to delay as soon as it was decided, it was likely made in June. That's about 4 months worth of interest for some or maybe even some market gains. Honestly I decided not to put the money in the market in early July because of the prospect of having an August delivery.
If I had been told mid October then I would have bought in.
