Delivery time

Collected today! Really happy will post some pictures up tomorrow. Dealership was strangely quiet, sales agent said they have almost next to nothing in stock in any model currently and that the lead times are getting worse. Confirmed build weeks don’t mean much either apparently, with vehicles being built a long time after they are supposed to be. Good luck everyone!

Wow, congratulations. How did you get one so quickly?! I ordered the Family Pro Performance last week and the order form gives an estimated date of 31st May 2022 (7.5 months!).

It will have been an existing order, what with it being 1st week of July and 3124**** being the order number. Usually 313*** for first week of July and BW39/40.

I was given around 5 months lead time (2nd week of July), but due to the way backlogs work, obviously the later you order the longer the wait.

I ordered on the 1st July with a fresh order and my order number is 3134xxxx.
My build week was confirmed as week 39. I've heard nothing more and do not expect to for another couple of weeks.

And we ordered a couple weeks after Newfie (for, it turned out, the exact same spec) and got a much higher order number (in my signature). Our confirmed build week is 40, and I have no idea when the next update might arrive

Yep, and my order number is even lower than Newfie, but honestly believe I'm well into next year before I take delivery. VW ID.3 "Never knowingly under-scheduled"....

Here's a thought, has anybody with a car/delivery date had the dealer proactively contact them with an update? I request an update every Monday. I'm starting to feel like he has an email auto-response from my email address.....

On average I chat to my sales guy 2 or 3 times a week via email. He has become more of a friend over the years I have dealt with him.
I don't need to ask him to check the status as he does this automatically when he gets into work in the morning.
Other than the system codes they see on the order they have to physically call the sales office for the particular factory of build to get any further updates. So you can well imagine those lines are busy day in day out. Like he says it will not rush the order any quicker and as long as there is an update the dealer will see it on the order b7t not all dealers diligently checked their orders.

I had a build week of 38 and contacted my dealer this morning to only find out that it's scheduled for build in November but that could change too.

My build number is 3133XXXX.

To say I'm pissed off is currently an understatement.

That makes sense to an earlier post on this forum (not sure which topic) where someone was quoted 8 weeks delay in build week. Which was originally was 6 weeks so things are obviously getting a lot worse.

Thank Newfie, my assumption is that practice varies from individual-to-individual, and dealership-to-dealership. My chap kindly provided me with a screenshot some weeks back, with "this is what I see". No mention of calling anybody for more detail.

At this rate Elon will have shipped his first UK Model Y before we see our ID.3's

I got an "in production" email from VW this morning. What does this actually mean? My last update from the dealer was build week 46.

More like he'll stick one on the end of his rocket and land it on mars before we see ours.

How is everyone getting progress updates on the order? There seems to be no online tracker and the VW online chat folk say the tracker is also down for them. Do you have to reach out to the dealer each time? Getting an update from the dealer is rather very slow with mine.

Also what does it mean when the dealer says "Your order is waiting to be updated by the factory" when I asked for a provisional build week?

I’m not sure anyone knows. I’ve never had an email from VW, despite signing up for them from the (now unavailable) online tracker…

We got this too. It arrived at the beginning of the week we had had confirmed as our confirmed build week (42) so I'd assume it means exactly that - it's now in production. Of course, there was no indication of how long it might take, so we might be waiting 6-8 weeks for it to finish build given the above posts from others. I was pleased to receive the email though, because it was independent of (not from) the dealer, but matched what he had told us a couple of weeks earlier, so seemed like things were working to plan.

I wonder if these emails have replaced the online tracker, but only for people who ordered after the tracker was removed? I can't remember when it was removed but I know it was about that time (I ordered 05/08.)

The only way you can get any updates is currently through your dealer.

When your dealer creates an order on the VW Ordering portal on completion it will show like in image below

Where it shows "Original Build Week" is the provisional build week at time of order.
Firstly with your dealer ask if the order has been accepted with the factory and if it is ask what is the "original build week" showing on your order.
