Hi EVOwner101. I placed my order for an ID.3 Life Pro with Heritage Gloucester on 17/11/21 with an estimated delivery date of 11/7/22. If you don't yet have your factory order number, I guess I shouldn't expect mine yet..

Phoned my dealer for my bi-weekly kick in the nuts today. They confirmed that my car is STILL in the factory and likely not coming this year, considering the factory shutdowns over Christmas. I saw it coming, but it’s still disappointing.

I joked with my other half that it might be here by my birthday in February, but even that is looking optimistic at this point.

Couple of useful tidbits for others though: They said they’re now advising 9-12 months for deliveries and the factory is no longer accepting orders until they’ve cleared some of this backlog.

Yes I ordered week 32 but far have been told mid January then late February and I expect that will slip...

So dealer called me again today after calling the main Volkswagen office for updates on my order. He said the build has indeed started for my car so the confirmed build week did actually mean something 😅 however its not completed yet and is taking longer. Interestingly, he said there's 8 stages to build that happens. His other customers aren't ID customers but they've been stuck on stage 7 and are just waiting for chips now. He doesn't know how that will affect my order but he said he'll be checking weekly so we'll just have to see! No clue what stage mine is at though but don't think its gotten as far as 7 yet.

Advised this morning that car went into build wk46 (as previously advised) and is code 20. Dealer stated expected delivery is January.......I am somewhat sceptical!

I have been given similar information. An interesting question is if, as seems likely , it is not actually built before week 51, will we get the MY22.5 updates? Or because we are notionally week 46, will we not regardless of when it is built?

If you look at the info below it states all cars built from week 51 and lists the changes if it applies to your trim

My expectation is, that if our confirmed build week is prior to 51 and the car is part built at that point, then we will not get any of the my22.5 upgrades unless it just so happens that to finish the build after week 51, one of those parts has to be replaced or fitted for the first time.
Personally not too bothered, none of them are things I took much notice of before ordering.

If you look at my signature you'll see the confirmed build wk and actual build are weeks apart.

Yes, I've seen that. It's the same for everyone, to state the obvious. Confirmed build weeks have also changed in the system after the fact. Mine was confirmed week 42 until I got an update in week 46, when I was told it had changed to week 45... there are several interpretations of what that might mean. None of it changes my view on the likelihood of getting the upgrades though. I think we'll be fairly lucky to get them unless our build is actually started after week 51.

Just had an update, car “should” now be at the dealership mid to late May 🙄. I’ll believe it when I’m behind the wheel.

Personal advice would be to pay no attention to it and put it to the back of your mind for at least the next 3 months.

First step is getting a "confirmation" (not estimated) that your car is "in production". There's just so much stuff that can happen between now and March that can turn a build to either 2 weeks or 2 years.

Dealers will have a responsibility to 'estimate' a delivery, but I (we) am seeing far, far, too many people getting angry about dates/timescales that are guesses. If it were happening in a normal world it'd be worth querying, but the entire world of electronics is struggling to supply right now, so it's just completely unreliable to give any certifiable expectations, one way or another.

I’m not that fussed tbh, it will be when it will be.

Just had an email from my dealer and my Tour has been built and has left the factory. Now have the VIN but its not a MY22.5. Not that disappointed in that too much.
At least it is out the factory.

Thanks Utumno. Hopefully yours won't be too long behind mine.
