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.

Great news. Same build week as me. Mine left the factory a couple of weeks ago but all quiet since then. Probably sitting at the docks for a few weeks yet.

Hi Smuj.
If you're down south there is a ship currently in Emden heading for Sheerness. Hopefully yours shall be landing in the UK very soon.

Good chance that would come under Sheerness, so fingers crossed mate.

Just been speaking to my dealer and as long as no further hold ups it is doable. Just will have to see how it pans out.

Another entry for the spreadsheet.

I ordered an ID.3 Family Pro Performance on the 17th of August, the order number was 31377xxx and I was given a week 38 build date - the car was built on time, but didn't have the necessary chips, so sat around in Germany until the last week. It arrived in Grimsby on the 20th of November and I'm due to pick it up on Monday the 29th. (hurrah!)

Also, on my finance agreement the car is now listed as a 62Kw?!

Interestingly I notice my order number seems to be lower than some of those taken in July?
Could have maybe been a cancelled order that you took on? Or do you know if it was a fresh factory order?
