Display MoreToday times closer to the Smart #1 rangetraut, the first copies are now at the dealers. Well, you can not order anything yet, but at least you can see in advance what you would get.
Ordered this morning.....Delivery no later than the beginning of April, but probably already in 4 weeks.
The whole story is less funny though, the launch went off the rails cleanly for once....in short: you could buy vouchers for preferred purchase from mid-October onwards. So far, so good. The sales phase for voucher holders then only started in mid-December, then postponed to the day before yesterday.
Sales model, by the way, analogous to the new era, so online is purchased directly from the manufacturer, then delivered through the Mercedes/Smart dealer network. Who wants to buy from the dealer, MB/Smart support points also act as agencies. On the day of order release - only for voucher buyers, regardless of whether online/dealer, the rest 10 days later - then hopeless chaos. First the online store doesn't work for ages, then a little, then 1h total standstill. Finally, in the evening at 20 clock everything goes...only unfortunately, that was the time when I was not sitting in front of the box... ergo, all gone
With the rush they had probably not expected and just also amateurishly acted, what availabilities and delivery dates for not directly deliverable cars concerns....da always stood "sold out".
Finally, since yesterday, cars appeared again and again as "available", what a lottery. This morning by chance then once again when I logged in and bingo, now he is ordered
This is it, Smart #1 BRABUS
Looking forward to the little closet...just the right mid range car to go with the Taycan.
I again....now it will be different again, but this time final. In short, on the Smart adventure I do not get involved. In detail, many little things and uncertainties. So it could be that the Brabus models can not be delivered for a long time because of problems, in addition, much of the software and the assistants works only so "half". Nothing for me....
Since the situation on the BEV market has calmed down again and (some) cars are quickly available, it will now be an iX1. Price fits, equipment too and next week it will be here!
So it's done, BEV #2 - called Paulchen - moves in and will be the mid-range wall unit.
