Re: Delivery time

Collected today! Really happy will post some pictures up tomorrow. Dealership was strangely quiet, sales agent said they have almost next to nothing in stock in any model currently and that the lead times are getting worse. Confirmed build weeks don’t mean much either apparently, with vehicles being...

Re: Hello from Somerset

Hello, Hello from Somerset, I’m saying Hello from Devon Just joining the forum as I’d like to learn from other people’s experiences of owning an ID3. I ordered my ID3 Family on 29 June and was told I would have it by 29 September at the latest (was subsequently told I was due for week 38 build). Am...

Re: Delivery time

Mine didn’t get built in its “confirmed” build week, it ended up being built 2 weeks later.

Re: Delivery time

I do think there was probably a big surge in orders in July, with the price drop on the 1st and then all the advertising during the Euros also.

Yeah, if it’s anything but a straight forward install for them your best off getting an independent to do the work for you.

Highly unlikely to make any difference, unless your dealer has a stock car or something in pipeline they can offer you.

Re: Electric installation requirements

I should probably say if you move to Octopus with this link share.octopus.energy/great-gaur-131 you would get a £50 bill credit and so would I, totally up to you though.

Re: Electric installation requirements

Probably contact an EV charger installer, they will be able to advise your of the steps required for your property. You will be best off upgrading to a smart meter and moving to a supplier like Octopus who have a tariff with a 5p kw/h rate for 4 hours overnight called Octopus Go.

Re: Delivery time

My car got stuck at build week stage for a while, I read news there was some factory shutdowns for a few days at the time due to component shortage. Had confirmation from dealer it’s in the UK now so shouldn’t be more than 2 weeks from now to collection.

Re: Delivery time

Hi all. New to the forum. Interesting to read everyone’s experiences and the approximate timelines provided by the various dealers. The more I read, the more I’ve been managing my own expectations 😂. Ordered a Max on 13 Sep (assumed Week 37?). The dealer provided a provisional build week of 51. The...

Re: Delivery time

Hi all, new to the forum. We ordered an ID3 life pure performance, with Drivers assistance pack plus in Makena Turquoise and 19” andoya wheels on 8th August, and so far our experience has been a nightmare. We were told that would could expect delivery in November, Then our build was pushed to week ...

Re: Delivery time

Can confirm that VW UK are now refusing to provide updates via live chat. Annoying considering up to a few days ago they were happy to provide. Latest news I had was released to shipping a few days ago. They’ve made up an excuse that there updates are not accurate but it’s more likely they are being...

Re: Delivery time

We ordered 05/08 and a few weeks ago were given a provisional build week of 42 (18/10 I think). We just had the build week of 42 confirmed by the dealer. He couldn't give an estimated delivery date with any confidence (he had previously suggested November, which seemed very optimistic). I'm hoping ...

Re: Delivery time

It will arrive when it arrives, why all the drama around tracking ships, next thing people will be trying to track car transporters and then try and work out how long a retailer will take to do the pdi and clean and polish the car. Chill out, once a factory order is placed it is out of your hands a...

Re: How long does it take to get a VW order number?

I placed mine on 2nd July and order number is starting 312. BW 34 and now waiting at Emden. I think that I got lucky with a vehicle that dealer had ordered for stock already.

Re: How long does it take to get a VW order number?

Not sure of the relationship between the order number and build week though. I ordered a Family Pro performance, White, Heatpump and bicycle carrier on 16th of July. Got the Order number starting 313 on the 21st of July and was able to have it recognised by the VW tracker before they took it down. ...
