rocko5000: seems you're right on this - just had a note back from dealer stating the e isn't being discontinued, contrary to what carwow is currently indicating. The delivery push-back does seem likely to be more about super-credit management than anything else. (fwiw our e std is still scheduled for Jan delivery, but it seems later orders have been pushed-back to April...) Our dealer also reassures me that Honda's vehicle storage management is spot-on, which is good to hear (but i still wonder about the 12v battery and whether the Lion will be part-charged for long-term storage).
The picg change is good news for existing residual values, if not for prospective new orderers (ok that's not a word).

Yep thanks Rocko - my dealer has replied stating pretty much what you put on the thread yesterday.turntoport wrote: ↑Fri Dec 17, 2021 4:08 pm rocko5000: seems you're right on this - just had a note back from dealer stating the e isn't being discontinued, contrary to what carwow is currently indicating.

I however don’t expect the storage to look after 12v or main battery so that will be fun come April/May!
Well my guess is if they are smart that battery will be disconnected while in storage which is what alot of people who have car that sit do. Otherwise i b elieve honda be in alot of trouble if a load of Es have 12v battery issues in april/may

SamHonda: yes; the agent called to say mid-Jan. However, this hasn't been confirmed by Honda UK (who have been very supportive since we sold our last Honda the day before leaving to collect the e, then discovering the reg's were being held-back), so I'm not 100% on the proposed date. I expect H will contact us in the next week - ish, will post/pm as soon as we hear anything 'formal'. I assume you've heard nowt?
I wonder how those batteries are doing out in the cold?!

April sounds about right...

I don’t know if it’s all E’s but I guess we’ll find out soon from TTP who is expecting delivery this month.
It does seem bizarre and I can bet the sales staff are annoyed for the reason you have pointed out. I was one day away from selling our second car when the dealership called, would not have been happy if I’d sold and then been told delivery moved from Jan to Apr!!
