Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Received my Born today and it's glorious. I know its not an ID3 but it's near enough underneath! It's so smooth and quiet and a great drive. I'm paying more than I would've with the Plan deal but I just couldn't bear the moving goal post delivery dates. If anyone else gets desperate there are Cupra ...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

I've cancelled my order with Plan and confirmed the Cupra so if anyone wants a white Tour itll be sat there. Its more money than I'd like to pay but these are difficult times and it's a sellers market. Cars are a pleasure thing for me so I'm willing to stomach it for 3 years to when hopefully things...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

I have a V2 Born quoted at £418 which is definitely more than the Plan deal, but I suppose I'm just too impatient to be strung along by VWs constantly moving delivery dates and I do like the look of the Born inside and out. I'll be cancelling with Plan later today, I'm just waiting to hear back on a...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

I contacted plan and they confirmed there is no build date, just March 2023 estimation. I will likely be cancelling today for a Cupra Born v2 that is confirmed to build next week. Mark if you still wanted the white one over blue let me know and I can tell them you want it.

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Depending on a few lines of inquiry I'm pursuing on a Life Pro Performance model and a Cupra Born I'm tempted to pull the plug on my order but we'll see.

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

My Plan account estimated delivery changed to 31/03/2023 - that's a joke. What on earth are VW doing? I'm not buying the chip shortage excuse for such delays.

Thanks guys I guess I'll just renew as normal and change the car when it arrives.

Re: Delivery time

My car insurance renewal coming up next month with my ID.3 "expected" November. Anyone have any idea whether it's worth switching to a monthly payment, as if I renew for a full year and change car it may cost me rather than just starting from scratch on comparison sites. Not entirely sure ...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

They don't seem to even have an estimate for mime, so perhaps consider yourself lucky with that October date. I was originally told November but it's been very vague since.

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

With some people being pushed to next year I decided to chase for an update this morning. It was a non update basically:

"Your ID.3 has not been issued a confirmed build date yet. This is very normal for VW as this will not be issued until closer to the time."

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

I haven't heard in anything in over a month. I will probably leave them for another month and then ask them for an update from the dealer to see if anything has changed. I expect it'll be status 00 still. By the looks of it they seem to be building plenty of Family specs lately but no max or tours.

Re: Spec verification

That sounds like you've been done over as the Life spec of 2022 should come with all that. I'd be complaining and asking for the correct spec or some kind of compensation

Re: The reason I / you decided on the ID.3

Engineering of Teslas may be good but the build quality is known to be terrible at times. Granted they've not got as long history making cars as VW.

Looks lovely, congrats on getting the car! Pretty certain mine is still raw minerals that probably haven't been mined yet.

Re: Delivery time

Hi All, I'm a new User. I've ordered my ID.3 Family 58kwh Pro on the 6th of October 2021. And since then it has been a nightmare. The delivery has been postponed already 8 times, and I just discovered that VW removed the assigned build week so the dealership now can't provide any build week or esti...

Re: BMW had a meeting & decided people needed another monthly subscription

I think the problem with it is more the fact that they're deciding to build the cars with the hardware already there, so the 'subscription' is merely a software barrier to using something your car already is capable of. Presumably this pushes up the cost of building the car for something some people...

Re: Software vs hardware

As a software engineer if you optimize well, you can make something run better on lower spec hardware. Or you can make badly optimized software run better by throwing better hardware it... unfortunately VW has done neither of these at the moment.

Re: Delivery time

That is a picture that sums up this whole thread! Podpoint fitted January 22, no build week on car! Can’t understand why no build week when lots who ordered after me have build weeks! Any ideas? If I were you I'd sit at your dealers and tell them you aren't leaving until they give you more informat...
