Delivery time

Further to previous post of a 14 August order with a February or March delivery-dealer tells me they are now quoting quarter 2 in 2022 for any new orders now.

That is quite the jump.

It got me reading Wikipedia on the Trabant, and I found a couple more similarities with the ID.3:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant wrote:Known for its dull colour scheme [...]

Turquoise apart, I think the ID.3 colour scheme would make the Trabant proud.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant wrote:The free market price for a second-hand one [Trabant] was more than twice the price of a new one

Currently, one-year-old cars can be more expensive than new cars (Lunatic used car valuations). OK, not more than twice the price, but the waiting time for the ID.3 is also not as long as the 10 to 13 years waiting time for the Trabant. Not yet, anyway.

And of course, both made in Germany (ish). Luckily that's where I think the similarities end:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant wrote:The engine produced a very smoky exhaust and was a significant source of air pollution: nine times the hydrocarbons and five times the carbon-monoxide emissions of the average 2007 European car. [...] Since the engine was two-stroke, oil had to be added to the 24-litre fuel tank at a 50:1 (or 33:1) ratio of fuel to oil at each fill-up. [...] Earlier models had no fuel gauge, and a dipstick was inserted into the tank to determine how much fuel remained.

At least on the tech, we've come a long way: microchips everywhere! Except in VW's factories.

Hi all,

I've just been speaking to my dealer and his last order for an ID.3 had a provisional build week of week 2 2022, so that's 20 weeks till the provisional build and the way things are I bet that will be pushed back.
Mine is still provisionally booked for week 39 which will get put back as its now within the 4 weeks you usually get a build confirmed.

I ordered my iD3 in early July and dealer found a Factory Order in Scale Silver due in Sept - quicker than choosing any special colour or any extras which meant delivery around December.

Just off phone to dealer and car is at "Status 30", supposedly in transit and should be here in two to three weeks.

Has anyone any idea what Status 30 really means?

30 is "In Transit from Factory" I believe

Not that I can wheedle a provisional build date out of my dealer contact, so I have even less info to work with than you ! Still hoping the vehicle will turn up in December.

Sounds like we’re all excited waiting for our new ID.3. I can’t wait for mine but happy to wait until March.

When I asked my dealer today I was expecting to here the provisional week being put back but its still where it is.

Did you spot a last updated date on that link? A quick look didn't reveal one so info could be several weeks old but if you get it in that timescale good on you.

I was told build week can be confirmed 2-4 weeks before the build so still hope for you that its confirmed in the next couple of weeks!

Well you never know. Our old Tiguan went from provisional build date straight to Emden overnight, so I don't think the status codes are necessarily that accurate

But then we were in a different environment back then!

Same with my current Tiguan. Three years ago it was the WLTP disaster and when I ordered it in the July I was told it would be built late September/early October. It was built mid august and arrived at dealer mid September. At the time they were not shipping them across because they had not passed WLTP but once they had mine was one of the first to be on a ship to Grimsby.
So as you say you can never tell how it works out and especially as VW is involved.

If its a confirmed build week it will start to be built week commencing the 22nd November.
May I ask when you ordered yours?

I've just had my weekly VW Chat and I've now got a confirmed build week of 37 which is the week beginning the 13th of September.

Spoke with my dealer last week and he said it was week 38 but likely to be pushed back.

Not sure what to believe. I ordered on 28th of June.

I would think if live chat have given you a week number that will be the confirmed week as they can only see confirmed weeks apparently.
They've gien me provisional weeks in the past but they have to obtain that from another department.
So its looking hopeful that the provisional and confirmed are not that far apart.
