For those of us waiting for our cars to arrive via Grimsby: The Neckar Highway left Emden yesterday evening and is due into Grimsby tonight at 23:00. Hopefully with a few id.3s onboard. That’s exciting to hear: my car was waiting for a boat so assuming there wasn’t a massive backlog/queue it could ...
Code 38! Now hoping it’s on that boat that has been me timed above. Though I kind of hope it’s not just so I’m not obsessing over it’s progress and then wondering where my car is when that boat docks.
EDIT: can’t be the one listed above as it’s headed to Sheerness and mine is going to Grimsby.
Monthly update from dealer - No News reported. It sounds like the BW50 was fictitious Certainly feels like the BW dates are unhelpfully 'flexible'. I was 39 then 50 and by a miracle, 47. Except that mine still isn't built and yet I see someone else's week 47 build will be with them before Xmas. Whi...
Any week 47'er here and had an update from my dealer this morning-nothing has changed. Still status 20, no indication that the car was built last week as it should have been. I give it zero chance of seeing it this side of Xmas and assume now it'll be Feb sometime. This is especially frustrating as ...
As I was advised by my dealer, you don't get any updates until the car has left the factory, indeed for me my first update for a week 38 build was in week 43 to say the car had moved to status 38, e.g. in the port of exit (Emden) and cleared for export. it then sat there for what seemed like ages a...
Ships are filled with all VAG group cars so def won’t be a prob filling the ship the port is rammed and will continue to be rammed full for the foreseeable, Ships are also only docked loading for about 24hrs maximum. The biggest issue you face is being in a queue to get assigned a ship. Could be as...
Getting excited. My car should hopefully be built this coming week. I want to be optimistic in that it will be here before Christmas, but even early to mid January would help save me from the hell that is First Bus scheduling. Mine is also being built this week and whilst my dealer hasn’t replied a...
I’ve got a Family Pro coming and confirmed as MY23: is there a summary somewhere of what 22.5 and then 23 added to the Family line? Given they’ve stopped selling it most of the info I’ve seen seems related to the Life model. MY22 > 22.5 - Side sensors, park assist, better seats 22.5 > 23 A black pa...
Having ordered in Oct 21, I’ve heard today that I’m finally Status 20 for Week 47. I’ve got a Family Pro coming and confirmed as MY23: is there a summary somewhere of what 22.5 and then 23 added to the Family line? Given they’ve stopped selling it most of the info I’ve seen seems related to the Life...
At least you’re getting your cars :/ my tour ordered august 21 on an existing order from July 21, is now feb 23 for estimated build again and let’s face it probably going to be pushed back again! Wonder if VW pay annual interest on our deposits lol This is why I only paid the absolute minimum for m...
Once again utterly infuriated with VW’s inability to build the cars they apparently have for sale. Ordered 12 months ago next week. I’m on my 4th/5th build date now. Was told it should be next week but now apparently week 50 (ha!) so here in March/April time. So a lead time of at least 15 months. Li...
Heard back from my dealer today: ordered end of Oct 21 and STILL don’t have a build date and am at status 00. Pretty sure that there are plenty of people in a similar boat but it’s very frustrating.
If you are trading in to the same garage you are buying from, are you really going to put 4 new tyres on and service it for them? Personally in your situation I would do the MOT and replace tyres that were actually illegal (ie, only once <1.6mm) with cheapo ones, but that'd be it. Our ID3 trade-in ...

I agree that the pandemic and war are both reasons for the delay but that does not excuse the lack of communication, even if the status is not changing you can still give the current and moving expected delivery date once a month and then the customers can plan around it. The number of people on he...
Another lurker jumping in to post. Our dealer has refused to give us the VW order number several times, and maintains our Family order from November is still expected to arrive in June. Asked if we had an allocated build week and if VW's estimated delivery date has changed and he said no. I think h...
