I had a look at the German configurator, and was interested to see that it has a totally different approach to building an ID.3, starting with the battery size and number of seats.

So in practise what happens is you select between Pro, Pro S (5 seat) & Pro S (4 seat) and drill down from there. So it seems pretty clear that any "Tour" removal doesn't apply to Germany.

Similar to the italian one. Pure performance (45 kWh battery, no available right now), Pro Performance (58 kWh) and Pro S (77 kWh). You start from there.

Latest rumor is no more Tour orders to early 2022.

If that's true I sure am glad I have mine.

I really hope that’s not the case, I ordered my tour pro yesterday and currently awaiting confirmation of order being accepted by VW. Nervous few days ahead !

FYI all, downloadable ID.3 brochure links have been removed from the UK VW website at some point today.

I'd therefore expect a new brochure to get linked in the coming days (weeks? 😀) probably detailing the MY22.5 changes to the model.

Yes. But that link has been removed from the VW website today. The file is still there but it’s not linked from the website. Thus for many people, it’s gone.

I expect they will upload a new brochure, probably to a different URL, then link it from the website.

In fact I now can't find any model/price/config brochures on VW UK's website for any model! Some models have this boilerplate on their download pages..
As our cars become more digitally connected and we move to a more digital future, we’re no longer producing the traditional brochure and price list. You can find all the information you need about <model> here on the website whether that’s exploring the <model's> features, or building and comparing models to check specification, options and technical information. Alternatively, get in touch with your local retailer who are there to provide advice and guidance, and will gladly create a personalised digital brochure for you.
Seems like a retrograde step to me. I get not printing them on paper, but would a pdf kill them?

(I'm fairly certain a "personalised digital brochure" will be a pdf export from the configurator...)

They’ve removed the link from this page: https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/order-a ... e/id3.html

Is it perhaps because they are going to bring the Tour 5 to the UK? Seems no more Tour being built from early 2022 until very late 2022 looking at the various rumours.
I'm confirming my order on Monday for a Tour via salary sacrifice, just hope my employer and the leasing company can get it signed before the lease company runs out of vehicles. I'd specified solid paint to keep the cost down (as I don't really care what colour it is), but that have none of them left on order so I've been upgraded to metallic FOC. Estimated delivery February 2022, assuming I do get one of the available vehicles.
Really excited, aside from being a great car, it's going to pay for itself on fuel savings alone compared to my current steed.

Did you get any confirmation of your order being accepted by VW yet?

We were interested in the Tour and on the 8th went into our local dealer for a look at one. They did have one but when we inquired further he said there were none to found in the UK for the coming year. We ordered a family pro instead. I guess it is all the extra batteries in the Tour that currently limit it to 2 seats in the back?
id.3 Family Pro Performance ordered 8/11/21, build week 17, then 23 then 40, then 45, then 50, then delivery expected in January, 2023, picked up the car on January 16th. Yay!

To be honest I didn't hang around to be informed I wasn't getting one, called the provider and they were in the process of removing it from their website as an option. I'm way more trusting of this type of information resource than the dealers. I have switched my order to a Fully Loaded Family Pro. Figured I could do with the break on the odd occasion I'd burn through a full charge on one trip.

Has anything changed? Still appears to be a 4 seater, not available in Red.. Presumably it was a manufacturing issue that stopped it being orderable.. (is that a word?)

I'm not convinced by the website, a lot of text and images are missing. No sign of red.

I believe that the red is due to be added at the end of November when the MY22.5 configuration goes live.

Looks identical to when it disappeared to me. Images/text identical too. And no "brochure" link has reappeared either.

It may now be possible to configure a Tour on the VW UK website but you cannot get a PCP quote on a Tour. In addition and for all ID.3 models, the PCP finance option indicates a deposit contribution is no longer available. The dealership I ordered my ID.3 Tour from is still telling me they cannot place orders for a Tour with VW until week 49 at the earliest. If anyone has a different experience of ordering a Tour after the 1st November via their particular dealership, I would appreciate the info.

Yes the deposit contribution has been removed in the last few days. If you ordered with your dealer before the contribution was pulled, you'll still get the contribution.

Good to know thanks. Of course still awaiting VW order # as the dealer says they cannot place Tour orders on VW until 6th December week 49. I note that your spreadsheet only seems to go up to late October from a VW order # perspective.
