Which of the 3 UK ports are closest to your dealer?

Has anyone been told by their broker that collection is not an option due to COVID? It seems ridiculous to me given others on here have mentioned they’re picking up their cars.

My broker also refuses to tell me which dealer it is that will be handling the car. A bit bizarre.

Eh? Who did you sign a contract with? Assume you’re leasing?

Yeah, I signed the contract with the leasing company.

I've also just had a email from my dealer. Mine is now at Emden and has been released for shipping and awaiting a ship. Looks like things are starting to move for the Summer orders

Mine is now code 38 too.

Its just now getting in line waiting for ships. Not a lot of ship movement going on at the moment.
Since mine was released to shipping 2 ships have departed Emden but unfortunately mine was not on either of them.

Of course Tyne would be your nearest port and more often than not it shares a ship with Grimsby, usually docks in Grimsby then on to Tyne. The ships used for this are usually the "City of" ships.

Yeah, I signed the contract with the leasing company.

To be honest, in my experience, being able to pick the car up from a dealer when you're leasing isn't normally possible. I've asked on a few occasions, and it's never been an option, and that was pre-COVID times.

It is unusual that they won't tell you where it's coming from though. If you have an order number VW would probably tell you the supplying dealer.

My id3 is also on order from Robinsons of Norwich, ordered by them for stock in Jul-ish and sold to me at the end of August, confirmed build week 40. Having seen that 7 of the 10 Wk40 orders had now gone to code 30 last week I was optimistic mine would soon be added, especially having seen that Jimmyinit from the same dealer had moved on. No such luck...still waiting any progress.
The only glimmer I was given was the comment that "VW have your car listed to be registered this month, which means they are expecting to deliver in December". Does this ring true/has anyone else had a similar update?
Ever hopeful...

Order 3144xxx
Tour Pro S 77kWh

Thanks, that's useful to know. I was keen to pick it up myself as I figured it'll be quicker than waiting for them to arrange delivery and it means fewer miles driven by someone else.

I'll see if I can find out anything from VW.

Not me. Still crickets and tumbleweed for our Tour.

I imagine they would deliver it on a truck. That’s how our Zoe was delivered anyway.

Mine is a company car order and I recently enquired of the supplying dealer whether collection would be an option. I was told yes, but it would be from a fleet hub/compound rather than a dealership. Fine with me!

Another confirmed build week 40 orderer here, with no recent updates. As it's a company car order, I'm not pestering for updates and only get offered a generic "confirmed build, dealership pipeline" update email every couple of weeks. I was hopeful for an early Christmas present - especially with all the other build week 40s leaving the factory, but have pretty much resigned myself to a 2022 delivery now.

Seine Highway its currently loading up in Emden and is due in Tyne tomorrow and City of St Petersburg is due to arrive at Emden today then be at Tyne on the 8th....hopefully itll be on one of those , if not then itll be another few weeks.

Which is the final build week for VW factories this year? Is there a close down for ID.3 builds over Christmas, if so over which dates?

Realistically I’m seeing any delivery before July as a win!

According to the destination on the Seine Highway its Newcastle Australia and looking at the arrivals board it is expected there. The timing are out on it. Itsgoing have to go some to get there for the 8th.

I'm a bit rubbish at working out what boats are up to - the link in the spreadsheet took me to a boat floating about near Denmark, so I assume I'm not using it properly!

Does anyone have any idea of there are boats scheduled to head to Sheerness from Emden?

Our dealer reckons delivery before Xmas should be doable...but can't guarantee it obvs - and I'm curious to see if it's really possible. I think it would need to be on a boat this week to make that happen...
