Hi, another new ID.3 owner to be.

Ordered a Family Pro Performance in Makena Turquoise with the East Derry alloys, back on the 8th July (order number a late 3131xxx).

Original estimated delivery end of September, now looking at December with the car currently in build (from what the dealer can tell).

Still very much looking forward to it arriving, hopefully in 2021.

That's interesting, we ordered exactly the same spec 4 weeks later and have also had confirmation it went in to build this week. If Newfie is right, I wonder if there was a few of them in this spec that had been ordered excess somehow.

Mine had a confirmed build week of 40, which if it happened (the dealer did not seem to be sure) will mean its been in build since the start of October I think.

I got my commission number 23rd July after chasing the dealer and was then told in the middle of August that it has a projected build week of 39. I think it was then in September I was told it had a confirmed build week of 40.

Ah ok. Our confirmed build was week 42 which was this week, so a little behind you. We got an email on Tuesday from VW UK confirming build has started. However I'm prepared for the fact it could be 'in build' a long time!
Best of luck getting yours this year!

Hello, Hello from Somerset, I’m saying Hello from Devon

Just joining the forum as I’d like to learn from other people’s experiences of owning an ID3.

I ordered my ID3 Family on 29 June and was told I would have it by 29 September at the latest (was subsequently told I was due for week 38 build). Am now getting a fortnightly email from the dealership that repeats the mantra ‘no news yet but we will keep you informed’.

I’m so excited about my new car - have my charger all fitted and ready to go - I just want some definite news from VW even if it’s bad news rather than communication designed to keep you hanging.

I agree the comms have not been great, but I think their supply chain is so all over the place at the moment that they have lost most of the predictability out of the build process.

I get a call every few weeks from the dealer, but I think until it is confirmed as built they can’t be too specific about when it will arrive.

I too am very looking forward to the car arriving, but I am yet to get the home charger sorted. Which one did you go with?

I went with the Pod Point. The installation was very clean and efficient so fingers crossed that it works equally well.

Fantastic news! If you’re happy to, could you share a mildly redacted version of your order number if you have it? I’m keeping a little tally of partial order numbers and build completion dates to try to divine some progress within the chaos that is VW at the moment.

Absolutely no problem if you don’t feel happy sharing a partial order number of course! Example of a partial order number (ours) is in my signature

That's great news for you. As already requested, please can you share a portion you order number (I'd like to compare with my own in the footer below).

Also, I've read on both ID.3 UK Facebook Group and this forum that the physical ship/boat used to transport cars for VW is called the Malacca Highway. It can be tracked using the following link: https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9235414

It's been in dock since yesterday morning. If it heads for the UK (via Emden) in the coming days, my money says it's carrying your car!

Oh, thanks for that info about the shipping.

My order number begins with several letters and then the number itself starts 1262xxxx. Not sure that is much use to you as it doesn’t seem to relate to your order number in any way.

Thanks Eviebug. My assumption this number is your own dealers' order number and not the number which VW use to uniquely ID the order (sometimes apparently known as a commission number). But in any case, you've raised my hopes as your dates are near identical to mine. My dealer has been on holiday, back tomorrow. So hoping he has some positive news.
