Over time you get to know them. They use "Highway" such as Ems, Weser, Isar, Neckar Highway mainly for Grimsby. The larger "Highway" ships like Thames and Malacca Highway are used to go into Sheerness and the City of Oslo, Rotterdam and St Petersburg run to Grimsby and Tyne.
Don't.forget City of Rome and City of Paris for Tyne. They're very regular - Leave Emden with VAG cars, head to Tyne (often directly), drop them off, pick up Sunderland built Nissans, take them up to Helsinki, Back to Tyne, pick up more Nissans, take them to Amsterdam/Ijmuiden, back to Emden for more VAGs.Newfie wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 8:15 pmOver time you get to know them.

There are the odd few other ships used also.

ID3 Tour Pro S - Ordered 2nd July
BW 34 w/c 23rd August
Latest update from VW UK live chat as of today is car is at Emden awaiting ship. Looking at about 12 weeks from order to delivery, so seems like good going compared to most.
Nice. Do you know if this was a full on factory order (mine was) or whether your dealer already had one on back order that was allocated to you ? Our order went in a couple weeks after yours, and it’s going to be at least week 40 before it goes into assembly, if not later.
Same convo with dealer he advised factory confirmation is 4 weeks ahead of actual build, usually updated on a Monday. This week is week 35. So confirmation should be on Monday for a wk40.... fingers crossed!
Current calendar week is 36 and people who had confirmation last Friday were for build week 39. Unless the factory doesn’t count the first calendar week?Up the jumper wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:14 am

Do you have an estimated build week? How long after did people get their estimated build weeks?degur wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:20 amCurrent calendar week is 36 and people who had confirmation last Friday were for build week 39.

Fingers crossed indeed! Getting a little impatient now, want rid of my current car ASAP.
Was just quoting what I was told. Having checked you are correct, this IS wk36....so dealer was talking cobblers...... who would have guessed??!
I had my estimated build week of 40 a few weeks ago in a video from the dealer. Couldn’t tell you what week my order was confirmed or accepted but I had the order number on the 6th of July.metcast wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:26 amDo you have an estimated build week?

Order confirmed week 34 and given an estimated delivery date of week 4 2022.
Currently waiting for preliminary build date.
No problemUp the jumper wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:32 amWas just quoting what I was told. Having checked you are correct, this IS wk36....so dealer was talking cobblers...... who would have guessed??!
Apologies, will at least check date info is accurate in future!
maybe Monday will be the day after all. I’ve reverted to the dealer to see if the estimated build week has changed, since the live chat only deals in confirmed dates.When an order is placed a provisional build week is given. I thought mine was week 38 but apparently I was wrong as it was week 39.
Thank you Newfie that's really helpful. Did the dealer send you that screenshot?Newfie wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 9:58 amWhen an order is placed a provisional build week is given. I thought mine was week 38 but apparently I was wrong as it was week 39.
This is a screenshot of my order and it shows both the confirmed build week and the original (provisional) build week.

Yes, he sent it to me last Friday to let me know it had been confirmed. Fortunately I get on well with my sales guy at the dealership.metcast wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:11 amThank you Newfie that's really helpful.

Brilliant! The sales rep I've been spoken to has been super helpful. When I asked her she said the 'estimated build week' isn't showing and to check again in a couple of weeks. When I asked what the availability is like at the factory she said 'they're currently scheduling builds in around week 44/45'. Maybe that is the provisional build week?Newfie wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:15 amYes, he sent it to me last Friday to let me know it had been confirmed.

I would of thought those stated weeks of 44/45 are confirmed build weeks on other orders she has. But there have been people on here saying their build week has moved forward so hopefully they are stepping up production a little. I know the ICE orders at VW are a nightmare but it has not hit the EV's that much.metcast wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:18 am

Can they be confirmed build dates? Since they are normally confirmed 4 weeks in advance which would be week 39/40 in a few weeks' timeNewfie wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 10:25 amI would of thought those stated weeks of 44/45 are confirmed build weeks on other orders she has.

You are right there.
