In fact, it takes up to four weeks to get the car's registration in Berlin. But that's a Berlin problem – in other parts of Germany, it's a cinch...
Guys, applied for an appointment to register the vehicle today: October 16th (!!!). Unbelievable.
So the whole thing here in Berlin is even worse than previously thought...
Now the only way out is via an obviously existing black market for appointments (a real shadow economy has developed...).
If I do not find another solution, the vehicle will wait 9 weeks after delivery at the dealer...

Simply grotesque.

Oh no, what a pity RAL. Still don't understand why that should take so long. Soon I will have mine even earlier than you who ordered much earlier.

Jesus Christ, that’s infuriating to even read, can’t imagine being in it.

I just had My Order info updated on the Honda website to say it has arrived at the dealer. So their system sort of works...

Apparently, my car arrived at the dealers yesterday.....and no one there thought to ring me until today :roll:

Anyway, I'm taking my double R for an MOT tomorrow, so will inspect then and let you all know what's what.

P.S. I've just checked Honda's online e ordering system as it says "The status of your Honda e delivery will be shown here closer to the time"

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Thanks for clarifying this. I must admit I found this hard to believe, given that Honda have been taking reservations/orders for the car since the tail end of last year, but having checked with OLEV, they've confirmed that the e wasn't added to their list until 10th July, with there being a further delay before dealers would have had access to the portal.

It's almost as though Honda UK didn't really commit to selling the car here until the first examples had arrived at the docks.

Well it's going to cost them 500 quid a time for the mistake now!

Exactly the same story here.
I phoned yesterday, and they phoned back today to say that it had just arrived yesterday, really?
Also because they only have 1 EV technician they can't do the pre delivery until middle/end next week.

Also my Honda online account also hasn't changed, so the same as others on here, still states

DELIVERY
The status of your Honda e delivery will be shown here closer to the time.
