I have received a pdf letter from VW UK via my dealer: Potential production delays on your Volkswagen order Dear customer, We are delighted you have chosen a Volkswagen and together with your Volkswagen Retailer, we aim to inspire you with an outstanding product. Unfortunately we will have to ask fo...

Unfortunately, it’s not just VW. For example, quite a few manufacturers rely on being supplied by the wiring harness industries based in Ukraine, and this this industry has been established simply because it offered a more cost effective solution and was in a geographically advantageous location. Ma...

In comparison to the terrible atrocities being inflicted on the poor citizens of Ukraine, our potential issues with further delays to our id3 orders are very much a 'first world problem' and truly pale into insignificance compared to their suffering. The situation in Ukraine will certainly have quit...

Yes, same here. I ordered early October, was told April, and the latest info suggests it will be built at the end of September and delivered after Christmas - if I bother to wait that long!

I'm probably going to do the same too, as I had originally expected my car in March/April this year, and I had made all of my plans around this. It's increasingly looking like it could be next year before it would materialise, which is just too long. I could almost cope with some extra waiting time ...

Yep, AlbertLondon's car is astonishingly quick - a very lucky guy. Mine was ordered October 9th and is scheduled for build week 39 this year, (19th - 25th September) so probably won't see it until after Christmas!

Yes, do agree with Big_GT and Jamie 1c, and I must admit, on the whole scale of things a few delayed cars is not a very important issue. Further delays are annoying perhaps, but pale into insignificance in comparison to the suffering of the Ukrainian people and my thoughts are with them.

Another potential issue to throw into the supply chain pot, reported by the Daily Telegraph a few minutes ago: Volkswagen faces supply shortage due to Ukraine crisis Volkswagen will halt production for a few days next week at two German factories after a delay in getting parts made in Ukraine, a spo...

Yes, trying to plan a way ahead while waiting is proving to be quite a problem. When I ordered on October 9th, I was expecting to have the car 'within 26 weeks'. With that in mind, that all worked out well with my present car, and I would have been able to have disposed of it without having to servi...

As always, thank you Utumno for all of your hard work - those of us waiting would literally be lost in a fog of confusion if you hadn't pulled all this together!

Thank you for such an inspiring account of your travels! My id3 has been on order since early October, and I heard yesterday from the dealers that I'll be lucky to see it this year, prompting me to seriously consider cancelling the order. You timely post may have just tipped the balance back towards...

Good morning Andrew - it does indeed sound like a January 2023 delivery. Not only would it be just a few weeks before the 23-plate change, but I specifically ordered the id3 when I was told the delivery time would be 26 weeks, because I wanted the car in the Spring. Where I live, the roads are deepl...

Good morning - I have just heard that my order has moved back by two weeks from week 36 to week 38.

Order No. 31491584
id3 Pro Performance, White, East Derry Alloys
Ordered 09/10/2021
Build Week 38 - 2022
Delivery - some date in the far, far future.

I ordered my Life Pro Performance, white with alloys on October 11, around 19 weeks before Bosscat, and my provisional build slot is week 36, some 14 weeks after. I'm sorry, but if VW are going to prioritise new orders over those of us who have shown loyalty and given VW the benefit of our doubt and...

My Life Pro Performance was ordered on October 11 and I am provisionally build week 36, the dealer thinks it could be delivered just before Christmas, more likely to be 2023.

You are exceptionally lucky, I ordered mine 12 days before yours, and it's not expected now until around late Autumn at the very earliest - enjoy!

Whilst it is possible that part-built cars are hanging around, logic would have to say that this isn’t possible, but I could be wrong of course. However, when I visited MINI Plant Oxford, they have similar very advanced manufacturing techniques to all of the other high tech high volume manufacturers...

Well done Andrew, I'm really pleased for you! We have a resident in the village with a grey Polestar 2 which I have admired for a while, and as much as I love the id3, I think it's the way I'd go too if I could afford it. As you know, I was/am seriously considering the MINI Electric, and had I made ...

It’s also bizarre to think that a more comprehensively equipped Cupra Born is now more competitively-priced than the id3, and could potentially be available for delivery before our id3s!

It all appears to still be a bit random, I ordered my Life Pro Performance in early October and my provisional build week is 36.

So I ordered about six weeks earlier than Dbaron, and my build week is seven weeks later - around a three months longer wait for me!
