Re: General usability questions

Thanks Stewart - that makes sense. I'll pass it on and see how he gets on. Rob: I think the issue is that it intervenes as he's just happily driving along, without good reason. Granted, if he's changing lanes, then indicating will allow him to do so without intervention, but it's the seemingly unpro...

General usability questions

Hello all - hoping someone can help.. My son inherited my ID3 lease earlier this year (I gave up waiting and opted for a Tesla), and whilst he loves the ID3, he says a few things are causing him some annoyance. I've never really driven the car so am in no position to comment. Some issues I can belie...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Well after a very long wait mine is apparently pitching up this Thursday (I.e. being delivered to my home). I’ll believe it when I see it, but the paperwork’s all signed, reg number provided so all looks promising. I’ll post pics when (if) it finally turns up. Whilst I’m happy the wait is over, I kn...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Hey @marknorton1. I think you and I are both waiting on wk9 Tours. I tried contacting VW Customer Services via their chat today but they said they've no access to data showing when cars are being built and that only the Dealers get this info - which I don't believe for a second given I've had update...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Hi all. I spoke to Luke at Plan cars yesterday and asked for an update, having been fobbed off by the VW online chat service... He says they just had 2 x Max Pro (or Tours?) come in to the UK which were week 7 (I guess there were pmcg's..). He reckons given mine is week 9 it should be another week o...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

That’s good news. Is that a Tour by any chance? Just checked mine and it’s still showing “awaiting…”. Btw, anyone else noticed the link to ‘My Account’ seems to disappear each night? I guess it must be some sort of hacker prevention measure.

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Just spoke to VW again. Apparently my Tour was built (past tense!) in week 9 - contrary to an earlier chat I had with them - and is being "QA checked". I'm pretty sure that quality is checked as part of the production cycle and when they roll off the line they're done. I mean: it's not as ...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

I just contacted VW for an update via their online chat thing.. Given I was told last week it was Build Week 9 and at stage 7 of 8, the guy on the chat just now tells me it's not yet started and is scheduled for week 12! So about a month before it even gets near a ship... I really don't know who to ...

@RS I found an order ref back from when I had agreed the lease and just quoted that. It’s an 8 digit number starting 3140xxxx

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Idk but 15 Tesla sites are apparently now open to the public in the uk and you just register via their app. Not cheap per kWh I suspect but reliable, plentiful and very fast.

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

@Mark - I'm a recent convert to Octopus and I have an Ohme Pro. Both are very good. I charge a Tesla also on it and I think it should work fine across these two cars because Octopus apparently can talk to the Ohme Pro directly rather than the car itself - so in effect - it doesn't matter which car y...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Update on my build (Silver Tour Pro S). I went to the VW chat and just asked them for an update. They came back with the following: VW: "I can confirm that you vehicle build is currently in week 9, and it is in production check point seven out of eight. I am sorry to inform you that the deliver...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Just spoke to Ben at Plan on mine and he says: "We’ve had some confirmed build dates yes, I haven’t had an update on yours just yet but all looking positive." So at least that tells me he's on the case and monitoring the situation / will be in touch when it updates. I saw also on FB that s...

Mine is saying as below. I’m somewhat heartened by the fact the UK VW website is now allowing you to configure a Tour model. Maybe our wait will be over soon????

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Mine is reporting 03/23 too now... Not a murmur from our friends at Plan Cars either - I just stumbled across it by chance having looked it up in the Plan portal. So this car was originally ordered Sept '21 and it's (perhaps) arriving Mar '23... So 18 months? That's just unbelievable. Mind, it's a h...

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Hi Rich. I just throw a dart on a dartboard and use that as the most accurate estimate. Honestly, it’s anyone’s guess when these will pitch up… Our only source of info is from Plan themselves.

Re: Plan Car Leasing (Deliveries)

Yes, me too (think someone has good news etc). I emailed them the other day to ask on progress. I got a one liner back saying (quote) “Still the same when there’s an update I will let you know”. Basically it’s “s*d off and wait - and stop emailing me”. I expect it will just turn up out of the blue w...

Re: Tour Pro S - tow hitch

Who says it can’t be used for towing on light duty? If it fits I’d just use it. Worst case if you had to make an insurance claim they’d have to prove that the claim arose because of misuse or incompatibility, and unless the claim required me to say it I would not even mention I was towing if it wasn...
