We are bringing together all the parts for Togg, which came to the fore with the announcement it made hours ago, especially for special series models.
With the special event it organized on October 29, 2022, the domestic automobile startup Togg has taken its official steps for both the factory in Gemlik and the first mass production examples. In the event that we also participated in, we had the chance to see a significant part of the final equipment and features waiting for the users, in the process that started with the focus of the C SUV model. After the actual implementation of the production and factory processes, the question that came to the minds of the users was undoubtedly in the focus of “purchasing”. Announcing a special preparation for this, Togg said that a total of 2023 units will be produced in the “100th Anniversary”. He announced that the “Year Special Series” will be delivered to the first owners.
Announcing its plan to present this process with the purchase of NFT on the basis of Avax digital asset through its mobile application called “Trumore”, the brand indicated February 5 as the date. After the earthquake disaster that took place on February 6 and extended to the declaration of national mourning in Turkey, Togg released an official statement that commercial activities were suspended on its front. The domestic automobile initiative, which made its first official announcement hours ago after a one-month process, announced that the deliveries for the special series were postponed to 29 October 2023, and that pre-orders will begin in a short time. After this announcement, the posts highlighted in the focus of “Togg victimization” in different sources and social media drew attention, while important details on the subject were underlined by the sources.
What did Togg reveal?
Before going into details on the subject, it would be useful to read the full text of the statement shared by Togg through its official channels once more. In the description text; “We will start the pre-order process for our Togg smart devices soon on our website and Trumore mobile app. When the pre-order period is over, we will hold a lottery to determine the delivery priority among those who are entitled to receive the Togg smart device in 2023 and those who qualify. We will hold the NFT auction, which started on February 5 with the intense interest of our users, but stopped after the earthquake disasters that shook our country, at a later date. We will remove the 100th Anniversary Special Series Collection, which we will put up for sale at the NFT auction, from the scope of priority delivery, and start bringing it to our users on October 29, 2023. In the light of all these developments, we would like to inform you that we have canceled the YeniLig competition, which we announced as one of the pre-order methods. We continue our work in line with our goals. regards” was stated.
Will order taking and deliveries be delayed?
The first point to be noted in parallel with this statement is undoubtedly the first serial versions to be produced in 2023 units. Along with the organization postponed due to the earthquake and the parallel special mass production version deliveries, Togg also needs to revise the preparations on the production line. Togg officials, who emphasized that there will be no disruption in the target of starting the first deliveries at the end of March, which is often mentioned by the sources, have taken this step in order to respond to the requests for different versions without delay. When we put all the parts together, no change is observed in the claim of making the first deliveries of the brand at the end of “March 2023” as of today.
What happened during the auction process on February 5-6?
In order to get to the bottom of the process, which is on the agenda today, it is necessary to wrap the calendars to February 5th. Togg, which started the bidding phase for 2023 NFTs, which will be sold to represent the 2023 model to be produced with priority, on the evening of February 5, had to close the process for a while due to the intensity experienced. Indicating that the system was activated again in the hours leading up to Monday, February 6, the sources announced that they put the whole process on the shelf after the earthquake disaster occurred at 04.17 and what happened afterwards. It is also known that the auction process takes a 10-day calendar to continue until February 15 under normal conditions.
“Trumore digital asset wallet not tampered with”
Suspending the auction process and all other commercial activities, the Togg team especially emphasizes that the assets of users who have Avax in their digital wallet through the Trumore application are not interfered with in any way. It is also emphasized that as of February 6, all kinds of transactions can be made openly through the application, and this is left to the users’ preference.
Togg; “The rights of users who can receive NFT will be reserved”
The Togg team announced that a total of 19 people were able to buy NFT in the auction that took place during the 5-6 February period. It is also among the clear information shared that the rights of these 19 people will be protected and will continue to be a priority in the special series to be delivered in October 2023. The NFT acquisition process, which started on February 5 and was delayed due to the earthquake, was implemented through Trumore with Avax digital assets. In order to be a fair process, each user has the right to bid for only one NFT on the “NFT Buying Platform”.
Togg production plans
The domestic automobile enterprise wants to produce 20 thousand units in 2023. With the addition of other models to the product range as of 2026, the annual production target of 100 thousand units comes to the fore. When Togg’s facilities in Gemlik reach full capacity, they will be able to produce 175 thousand cars per year. The brand, which is preparing to make the first deliveries of the C SUV model by the end of March, will also carry the C Sedan model to the production line in the next 2.5 years.
Is the claim that the hardware in the concept will be canceled true?
Another claim that stood out for the Togg C SUV models, apart from the order, was on the cancellation of the equipment. We talked directly to brand officials about this issue recently. The Togg team, when we asked the speculations about the cancellation of some parts that attracted great attention in the concept version, gave very clear answers to our questions about the preparations.
One of the most curious parts shown in the concept version and whether it will be available for sale is the cameras that replace the traditional mirrors. Togg officials, whom we asked about this feature, which was reported to be canceled, stated that optional equipment can be purchased definitively. Another point where opinions about its cancellation are stated is the hidden door handle design. In the interviews we held, we learned firsthand that this design will come to the product range in the future after the tests to be carried out. Again, the glass roof option will be among the equipment that users can buy as an option in the upcoming period. The highlights of the SUV we experienced at the event are as follows;
-Meridian premium sound system
-Heated rear seats
-Electric front seats
-19 inch wheel set
-Lassa Competus series tire set
-Electric tailgate
-441 liters of luggage volume
-End-to-end digital driver and passenger panel
-360 degree view
-Adaptive cruise control
-Lane keeping assistants
