Hello and welcome to the forum, I’m ‘next door’ in Hampshire. I ordered my id3 - a Life Pro Performance on October 9th and was told delivery would be 30 weeks, but so far I don’t have a build date. I think I saw that someone on the forum had ordered the day after me and has a build date of week 24 w...

I’m still waiting for my id3 to be delivered, but, with both my MINI and previous Jaguar I have found the windows to be randomly and unexpectedly open in the morning. Apparently, with these two vehicles if one were to press the unlock button, and then press it again and hold it down within about 10 ...

Good to hear from another Hampshire Hog, I live in Lower Upham, and it looks like you’ve gone for the same spec as me. Your timing was certainly spot on!

I have ordered my id3 Life Pro Performance brought DTD and the whole process has been very good so far, they were really helpful and good to deal with. The dealer is in Kent, they too have been excellent (they are a normal mainstream VW franchised dealer). A lady in the local village to me (in mid-H...

Hello and welcome to the forum, you’ve certainly covered a fair few miles so it’ll be interesting to hear of your experiences so far. Which part of Ireland are you living in? My grandmother and her family are from Westport, County Mayo. Like many others on here, I’m still waiting for my id3 - a whit...

The same with MINI - I was looking at placing an order for a MINI Electric and was told March, then April and then definitely sometime by next Summer! There are global shortages of everything. A good friend of mine owns a large manufacturing business in Norway making plastic membranes for the constr...

To get an idea of 'real world' driving in the winter in Britain on a typical 5°C day - pop along to the excellent Harry's Garage website and see an id3 in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dOEsSVEawc Ignore the 'issues' Harry finds with the original software, and hopefully this video is encou...

My MINI was scuffed in a similar way, but on the rear wheel arch. I used Chips Away, and they did a fantastic job - the guy came to my home, prepared, sprayed and heat dried the repair all within the hour and the result was perfect and absolutely invisible. I can't remember the cost, I think it was ...

Whoops! I forgot the build number for my car, it's: 314915XX

Life Pro Performance, white with East Derry wheels.

I've been watching the delivery schedules on the forum with interest - it looks like it's a long wait for many of us! I ordered my Life Pro Performance with East Derry wheels on October 9th through Drive The Deal, and when I contacted the dealers that will be supplying the car they were very helpful...

I ordered (Life Pro Performance, white and East Derry alloys) on October 9th and was told 30 weeks - week beginning May 8, so I guess it could now be into June or July. Oh well, luckily I’m in no hurry!

Timing-wise it would indeed make sense for the modifications to come on-stream from November 2022, ready for cars being delivered in early 2023 - I suppose these would be the 'new' 2023 model. I also thought that VW had trumpeted the various changes in the model line-up from July this year as being ...

I don't think VW are any better or any worse than other manufacturers at the moment. Before settling on my decision to buy an id3, I have looked at other EVs including the MINI Electric and the Mokka E. I have just received a follow-up email from my local MINI dealer advising me that should I wish t...

When the government subsidy was cut previously to the present level, even though the cut was with immediate effect, any orders placed before or within the previous 28 days were allowed to continue with the higher subsidy that was in place before the cut was announced. So, for those of us with orders...

Assuming that's DTD then? I believe there's a quota per dealer, so that's where the DTD type disadvantages might occur, with no doubt more chance of getting an earlier build with a dealer than does lower volumes? That’s right, I managed to secure an amazing deal, and delivery in late Spring or early...

So you and I have ordered on the same weekend, albeit a different car. Be interesting to hear how yours progresses. What dealer did you go through?

Yes, it’ll be interesting to compare notes - I’ve ordered at JCB Medway.

I ordered a Glacier White Life Pro Performance yesterday, and have also been told 'delivery will be 30 weeks', so around May 8th if all goes well!
