GR86 The GR86 “The Orders / Owners List / GR86 Register”

Anyone had a call/update today?

Possible that they have stopped calling people until the next batch will be processed? Wonder if we’ll all get an update on Friday as it’s a month since the order date?

I've just followed others and put the two communications I've received about my order so far into my signature. Hopefully we'll get some kind of update soon.

Same confirmation time as me. Would have been 10:20 had I not had issues with the finance application.

Fingers crossed for some update soon. Even if just to say it’ll be 2023 now.

Same (both sentences).
I doubt the orders were placed in a linear fashion, given the numbers of us who were sat waiting on the dot at 10am I imagine >75% of the total 400 cars were ordered in the first 20~30 minutes with the rest of the orders dripping in for hour or so that followed. Sadly if I'm right that means we're probably near the back of the 400 long queue - nearer in sequence to those with 11:30am orders than those with pre 10:15am orders.

Yes Toyota Cardiff. Went for a silver manual. I’ve got a 2019 Rav4 company car but not had many dealings with them as it gets serviced somewhere else. What GR86 did you go for?

I was 10:20 and also going through Marshall’s in Cardiff. Hoping to get some sort of contact this week!
 
Still no contact from local dealer (FRF Swansea). Although I don't really expect any until the call comes to say it's here. Hopefully those of us who've ordered will be told when the demo is here to have a go of

Wondering the same thing as well. They seems stopped to add order into MyT as well? My order is 1037am but no updates since the two emails received on 20/4…
 
I suspect the same thing. I think people will be pretty annoyed if they waited over a month, finally receive a call and they're still none the wiser about when they will receive delivery.

I imagine they would prefer to wait another week or two and hopefully have a rough idea when more build slots are available.

I suspect that too. Most people were ready to go straight away. I’m expecting to be towards the end of the queue.
 
I think it's pretty much a certainty that they have stopped making calls, my guess is if you haven't had a call yet your car isn't in the first batch.
Will probably start making calls again when more build slots are released as a 10.28er I'm pretty resigned to a 2023 delivery, I just hope we all get positive news eventually but I remain very disappointed with the communication from Toyota
 
I think we will get something on Friday. That's a month to the day we ordered, would be a good time to send an email to all people who ordered thanking us for our patience etc. Hopefully, that will have a bit of reassurance. I've resigned to 2023 as well and I'm a 10:12.

As a fellow 10:28'er my 2022 delivery optimism is diminishing daily but still living in hope as I did receive an email from them on the 4th of May to say they would be in touch by phone in the coming weeks.

Although I'm now starting to think the UK allocation of 400 cars might possibly have been structured in a similar way to the Italian one mentioned previously in this thread. As far as I can remember they said upfront that they would be getting 150 this year and 250 next year. Hopefully this isn't the case, but if it is then Toyota UK need to set expectations sooner rather than later and communicate this to all of us.
 
It's all well and good them making these decisions to contact/not contact customers, and leaving us to speculate what it might mean, but any frustration would be eased if they just kept people in the loop with generic emails explaining the process! I'm still none-the-wiser to what I'm doing with my current car and its finance ends in July. I've emailed Toyota online sales over a week ago for a 'yes you've got a car/no you haven't got one' confirmation, I don't need any other info, so I can sort out the next steps, and I've not heard from that either. They really just need to clear up what's happening 🙄

That's exactly my point. Sure, in the first couple of days they would have been in the dark, but nearly a month later they should be a little more aware of what's going on and it's so simple to drop a note to those who have handed over their hard-earned money.

Exactly! Nearly 4 weeks after ordering and a lot of us still haven't had a welcome call and/or any updates on MyT, I get that they're snowed under but even if Toyota expected it to sell out in a week instead of 90 minutes, does that mean they were still expecting to leave customers in the dark for weeks? It just doesn't make sense! 😂 They have all our email addresses from the ordering process, surely just send out an update once a week or so?? Doesn't need to be a fancy PR email (not that I received any of those on the GR86 waiting list anyway!)
