I have ordered a "145PS Family Pro " in Makena Turquoise on 18 November with estimated delivery time of 31 July 2022. Order number 31557xxx

How does the 145PS relate to 45 or 57 or whatever kWh please?

145ps relates to the power output of the motor, the other figure is the battery capacity.- affecting the range of the car between charges - a 145ps/58kWh model will go further than a 145ps/45kWh model with only 71% of the battery capacity.

Sounds to me like you have ordered a Family with the 58kWh battery and 145PS motor.

Thanks, but how do you know it's a 58kWh battery please?

Because

a) VW aren’t accepting orders on the 45kWh battery
b) VW themselves refer to the “Pro” variant as having the 58kWh battery in their configurator
c) if you’d ordered the higher power motor, it would have been called “Pro Performance” not “Pro”.

Finally all 45kWh batteries are labelled “Pure” if they’re available.
