Update from our dealer. They went from being regular with updates, sending videos etc, to silence. I chased after nine weeks and was told "all cars that were due to be built bw 21-25 are going through a model year change so it has been put back to 00 which is nothing to worry about it just mean...

Perhaps VW could stream a weekly draw of the order numbers

Looks like none of our builds were announced last night.

Set of balls 11 was used and the draw machine was Lancelot.

Good job isn’t around or it might all have gone even wronger! Sorry for forum joiners since -gate, bit of an old forum in-joke there

Dark times indeed. We dare not speak his name.

Even uttering the emoji three times is dodgy ground.

Like Candyman or Beetlejuice.

Hit the home button and go into settings. Look for additional keyboard languages and change it there.

Hello Utumno,

I have an order number, part of which is 31517xxx.

Many thanks for your ninja spreadsheet-fu skills.

Update video from our dealership has arrived. They are sending them every two weeks now. No change to our build week — week 20.

Who gets the car? There’s only one way to decide…

More youtube vids today, still trying to remind myself why I chose id3. I needed to be reminded why I paid a deposit for an open ended wait list, so I booked another test drive and took a Life Pro for a couple of hours yesterday. My stepfather is a proper petrolhead who has strong arguments against...

Monthly video update from our dealer has arrived. She says that we’re now moving to build week 20. We’re four months into our wait time, so this is encouraging. I have booked another test drive for tomorrow to see if I still feel the same about the ID.3. Im very tempted by the PoleStar at the moment…

Yeah, this isn’t going to help…

Burning ship full of VW Group cars

Not heading this way, and no ID.3 on board but still, those lead times are going to hell on a burning ship.

FYI my estimated build week appears to be playing the Hokey Cokey. It’s now gone from week 10 back to week 12 (allegedly!). Feel free to update the spreadsheet. Thanks

And that’s what it’s all about…

We use dessicate bags from Amazon in all our vehicles.

I used to get a lot of moisture in the campervan and in the soft top but decent moisture removers sorted both.

I take them out and microwave them for a few minutes every month or so in the winter to dry them back out.

New details for Utumno's spreadsheet below. Received news today from dealer that estimated delivery of my car has slipped from end of April this year to 06/01/2023!

Have we seen any other lead times go this far out of whack, or is this an anomaly? It feels a bit .

This is good to know. Thanks, both.

I’m tempted to grab an ODB 11 dongle and software for my ID.3 when it arrives, and Battery Life’s video only makes me want to use it more. I want to fix all those software issues, or at least to have the option. Some of the scripts that he runs look very tempting. I ran scripts in the past on my VW ...

See, now you’ve got me looking at my Eight Track tapes…

I would ignore car’s data eSIM setup and just let the car use that. For all entertainment, especially streaming music, you’ll want to do that through your mobile phone data package. This will use a lot of data, so you will need to have a good data package. I use Giffgaff on a £10 Golden Goodybag. It...

Did you mean https://www.wattsup.app/ ? Rather than WhatsApp?

What were they thinking when they signed off on that name? SMH.

Thank you, Utumno, much appreciated.

Ours has slipped from build week 18 to 19 according to the monthly video that our dealer sends us.

For the tracker:
It’s a Manganese Family Pro Performance with a heat pump on Derrys.

It was ordered October 26th from Peter Cooper in Portsmouth. We have no order number.
