Great news. I'm a little confused about the status of the factories. Does anybody know whether they are then still working on cars nearing completion? My ID4 was also ordered early August and is awaiting semiconductors apparently. I'm hoping that maybe mine isn't that far behind yours, but was (hopefully wrongly) under the impression that nothing is happening at factories full stop.

See, this is why I am starting to get majorly annoyed. People who ordered a month after me are getting deliveries, yet apparently I have at least another 6 months to wait (and thats a non-confirmed build date, so take that with a pinch of salt...)

I am increasingly wondering if I have made a significant mistake with this order.

Just a thought, but did you order from VW dealership or from a lease company?

Update: just tracked back through your most recent posts and deduced you are buying from a VW dealership. The only thing I have heard (from our dealer) is that supply of ‘standard’ specs are quicker than those with multiple add on options, but that could be gossip.

Base entry models like ours appear to be coming through with a second now spotted in Bedford. At least we can now start a breading programme locally.
Fingers crossed for you.
🤞

I completely get your frustration, it doesn't seem to make sense, and the total lack of transparency from VW just makes it worse.
My order was long after yours, but, currently I'm looking at 13months from order to build!! And who knows when for actual delivery.

Enquired today about the status of my car but managed to leave the dealer a bit more confused than when I entered.

My T-ROC was due a service, so figured I would ask about the ID.4 order while I was there. Car was ordered on 18th October last year, and hadn’t been given any information other than when I placed the order that it would be around 6-8 months. We know that’s all changed now, so figured I would ask anyway to see if they have a new estimate.

Salesman I had ordered with was day off, so spoke to one of the Sales Managers and the only answer he could give was that “it was scheduled for build last year”. Asked him if this was correct (considering the original order date), and he said yeah, but he somehow didn’t have any other details. He then said there was a contact centre (don’t know if it’s within the dealer network or VW directly) he could phone and they could provide more information. I was waiting anyway for my service to be finished, so said that was fine and he could just let me know before I left. The T-ROC was finished about 2 hours later, and he still didn’t have any information for me.

Supposedly they will be contacting me later today once they hear back, and if not I’ll be heading straight in again tomorrow morning. I’ve been happy waiting up to this point now as it was still within expected timescale, but with the further delays and zero contact since the point of order, I’ve had enough sitting around without any details.

Bit of an update today. Was phoned by the dealer this morning and spoke to the Salesman I had ordered from. He said that as production has been paused, all cars have been reverted back to Status 00 regardless of the previous stage they were at, even those that were being prepped to leave the factory. He has been assured (and assured me) though that this will update once production hopefully kicks back in at the start of next month, and he’ll phone me back in a couple of weeks time with the latest info.

Couple of other things he told me:

- Orders placed up to the end of Dec shouldn’t be impacted by the wiring harness supply coming from Ukraine. Zwickau apparently has enough existing stock on hold to satisfy those cars
- Price increases are imminent across the board, and there will be around a £2k to £4k increase applied to ID.3 and ID.4 models. Don’t know when it kicks in, but worth checking that the price you have been quoted has been locked in (I would imagine most people are ok for that).

If orders up to end of Dec weren't impacted as they have enough harnesses then why on earth stop build.

That doesn't make sense.

Nothing to do with Ukraine makes sense.
