Thanks bogga, you are surely correct. Do you have visibility on when she left Pyeontaek, would have been around 10th April I guess? I wonder if anyone else who was assuming Grand Uranus will also get a surprise call....If it landed today, it was probabley on the GLOVIS CORONA.

Edit: found a site that shows she left Pyeontaek 15th April.
Ditto 👍This is why I want the granny. I nipped into the dealership yesterday unannounced and had a cheeky look at mine while it still had all the protection wrap on it etc. Had a quick look in the boot but only V2L and type 2. I’ll question it on Friday formally and as annoyed as I’ll be it’s probably one argument too many for me to muster the energy. I’ll probably just buy one from screw fix when I know I need it.
Thanks! So my car was probably loaded on her first visit. Glovis seem to do a lot fewer stops than Eukor, or at least Corona did.GLOVIS CORONA, Vehicles Carrier - Details and current position - IMO 9122930 - VesselFinder

You'll have share how quickly it gets from the port to your dealer...Thanks! So my car was probably loaded on her first visit. Glovis seem to do a lot fewer stops than Eukor, or at least Corona did.
i got my dealer to value mine by saying i was thinking of trading it for a temporary car from them while i waited, as I wanted to sell while the price on mine was good. Actually, it was done in good faith, but I decided to hang onto it. Ironically, i've just done a cursory check of value again, and it hasn't changed in 5 months!Mine refused to value my car at the time I signed the order knowing that the car wouldn't be here for at least 10+ months. They said they would contact me when the car was in the country to organise the valuation at that time.

Mines on its way. Ordered early April, expected at dealer early July. I don’t get as much info as people dealing directly with the dealers do it seems. I now have a chassis number and the system says “released from factory” but that’s about it. I got the odd email when the delivery date was pushed back but never any real detail in it.Has anyone else got a car yet through a company salary sacrifice scheme? If so, did that add any unwanted complexity to the timing and handover or was it seamless? My dealer has never dealt with one before and have not yet even been contacted by the lease company. I fear delays due to paperwork or lack of communication.
I am pushing hard for a granny charger but realising it is probably a lost cause and resigned buying my own. I need one as my car will now arrive before my home charger, by a couple of weeks. My car was built a week after yours and is now in the UK so I hope yours is too and delivery is surely any day now?As you can see from below I am awaiting the immanent arrival of my EV6. I have been following this forum since ordering, but had nothing to contribute so I didn't register.
I have been following the discussion regarding the 'granny' charger and was also expecting to get one included. I checked with my dealer and he said that they have not been receiving these chargers with the cars since last August or so.
At the time of ordering I saved a copy of the spec, presumably MY21. Bottom of page 2 it says:
Charging
Standard: Type 2 to Type 2 charger (5m cable length) - Type 2 to 3 pin charger
Checking the current spec sheet, these lines are omitted.
On the basis that I want the latest features and functions available on the model when delivered, I won't hold Kia to the original spec (not forgetting the 3 price increases since ordering!).
My dealer recommended the Screwfix charger, but on investigating the Master Plug cable I found SuperlecDirect have the same cable but at £169.97 vs £194.99 for 10m and £159.64 vs £169.99 for 5m. They also do a MP branded carry case for £8.29. All prices include VAT and next day dpd delivery.
I got the 10m plus carry case for £178.26
I just need the car to plug it into!
Picked mine up this morning, took it home, loaded it up with my wife, baby and all the crap that you need to keep a baby alive and drove 133 miles to my parents. I absolutely love it - was well worth the wait. I’m also quite impressed by the actual range I got. Mostly 70 on the M1/M25 but lots of traffic so not steady and my Kia connect app is saying I averaged 4.10miles/kWh! Didn’t get a granny charger even though I asked but decided not to let that take the shine off a great first day with the car!
I would take delivery dates with a pinch of salt from KIA!!Forgive my laziness, but over 6000 posts are a lot to wade through. Having ordered my EV6 last August, I got confirmation from my dealer yesterday that my car will be loaded onto the ship today, with delivery expected on 8 July.
What should I bear in mind? In particular (1) best tethered charger? (2) are delays still likely? (3) does the car come with everything I need or do I need to pick up any extras? (4) do Kia dealers offer decent part exchange offers for my existing car, or should I sell elsewhere? (5) anything else I should do!
All guidance welcome!
