Finally some good news!

Dealer just phoned to let me know that my car has now been completely built and will be leaving the factory imminently! I assume they must be getting updates fairly regularly, as it was still awaiting chips on Monday (22/11).
They’re aiming for a pre-Christmas delivery, but as I’ve learned during this whole ordeal, anything can happen!

Looking at the positive news from the member, look like VW is currently producing order placed in June / early July. So, my late September order should be starting in Q1 next year!

Just a guess!

I seem to have gotten lucky or unlucky depending how you look at it.

Asked my dealer what I’d actually end up with since I was expecting to end up with a MY22.5 as you can’t have the assistance pack with that and it turns out my car is code 20 week 49. So unless the move it looks like I’m getting it early!

That's a really quick turnaround on a late October order. I would have expected that to be in build for another couple of months.
Guess you managed to pick up on a cancellation or a pre-ordered slot. Did you have an order number ?

I asked about changing to the family model a couple of weeks ago and he advised against it because they are modifying their own stock orders to customers specifications. He said mine was probably actually ordered about 6 months ago!

I don’t have the order number sorry.

That explains the quick turn around for you then, you have certainly managed to jump the queue a few months !

TBH, I've been trying to get my head round these order numbers, and just trying to look at the order numbers around by order date.

I tried ranking them by order number ie order numbers running sequentially and noticed how they don't correlate to the calendar dates the order was placed - in some cases by quite a lot.

Is this because:
some may be different because the dealers may have exceeded their monthly quota (assume such things exist?) so that may have to wait until the next month when they have available quota.
the dealer may not have processed the order on the day the deal was made eg someone bought on 1st but dealer didn't process to 3rd so someone on the ss who ordered on the 2nd may have a slightly earlier number


However, I had naively thought that when an order was placed with the factory the dealer was then given the next sequential order number, but does anyone know if is this the case? eg is a dealer given a block of order nos eg 100 to 120 for October and they allocate from those? eg a dealer only sells 15 vehicles in October - which leaves a balance of 5, so if someone then comes in and buys in late November they effectively get an "October" order number?

Yeah, I know, I'm over thinking this :D but it bugs me if I can't understand the logic behind something :oops: .

I’m of the opinion that order numbers are sequential but that doesn’t mean the customer order date will line up against them, because not everything is necessarily a customer order.

Dealers and leasing companies block-order in advance and customers cancel cars; “new” customers can be allocated one of these earlier order numbers in those cases.

This is why the current spreddy defaults to sorting by order number as it’s my belief that the order number is the “least-bad” indicator of the “age” of the actual order.

Indeed you can see that the “earliest” order numbers are indeed the ones showing some completion of vehicles, overall, which I take to be a small confirmation of this approach. There’s a correlation with earlier orders, but by no means is it a “smoking gun”

All the tracker is meant to do is give some sense of how long stuff is taking to build overall, and a guesstimate of how near your own vehicle build completion might be, when compared with data from other forum users. It really isn’t a crystal ball, and I am definitely a cut-price Zoltar 😂

The only thing I’m certain of is that we don’t have enough data to second guess exactly how VW issues order numbers nor what order they build stuff in 😀

I've found the spreadsheet really helpful. I just can't help wanting to dice data in different ways. Sadly, it's a me thing and drives everyone else mad. :D

I’ve not been around this forum long enough to say this with any certainty but it seems to me the higher the spec the longer the wait. There are a couple of people here that ordered from the same dealer as me a few weeks later that have been told to expect delivery 4 months later than me.

It could be that the dealership doesn’t bother ordering high spec for stock but given the shortage of chips it would make sense the more tech in the car the longer the wait.

I recently was told that it's still in build, but of course all that means is that they haven't confirmed it as built yet.

So, the higher the spec. more chips are required, so it will take longer to built.

I also think VW is grouping the build as a few Family model are being built and coming through, may be the next batch is the Life or Max version? Just a thought….

Also, I have noticed that a couple of dealers (Lister VW & Vertu VW) have new stock car on their website, I guess this is due to customer cancellation but would not want to offer to awaiting customer and can sell it for higher price!

Not sure if it's as simple as that. I went for the lowest spec as I thought it'd be quicker, but it hasn't been

It would be interesting to know if dealers were offering cash incentives to take over orders :D they could make a fair bit.

Makes me wonder why anyone on PCP would cancel, as you could probably commit to one and sell it pretty sharpish and make some ££
