Hi, I've sent you a DM

Hi Eenomc, has the wheel been sold?

I have some positive news to share. My ID.3 will be available for collection by the end of the week. Due to other commitments on my side it'll be the following weekend that I can collect it. My car sat at status 38 in the port of Emden for 8-9 weeks before finally getting on a boat the week before l...

I've had an update from the dealer. Car went to status 30 (in transit from factory) early November. Then to status 38 (Vehicle in port of exit – released to shipping) on 11th November. As far as they are aware the car is still sat parked up at Emden. I've been told they hope to receive the car in Ja...

Finally some positive news. My order has gone to status 20 with a week 41 build.

Maybe not so great is that it will need to be registered by week 46 to be eligible for the grant. It is very much in the balance. Fingers crossed

Our dealer has now said we wont get the grant after saying a few weeks ago that we would. This is something we are fighting back against and I'm sure they are trying to get us to cancel the order. As others have pointed out on the forum they would then sell the car at an inflated price. I'm sure th...

Tomorrow’s the big delivery day! Lease company sent all insurance details and registration number of vehicle today…… Will make sure to get some pictures up. Cannot bloomin’ wait 😁😁 Congratulations on your new arrival. Enjoy! Please do post some pics when you get chance. My order is for an identical...

My Vertu dealer is telling me that the grant and deposit contribution from VW will both be honoured and I am looking at a status 10 for week 38/2022 which will be one year anniversary. That's interesting, thanks for that info the.kes. One would expect consistency across the sane franshise group. Th...

Update from the dealer yesterday. Provisional build unchanged at wk 38. They are confident that the car will be built and delivered before my government grant expires in November this year. They advised the current stance is that VW will not cover the the extra £2500 if the grant reaches the 12 mont...

Update from my dealer yesterday. The provisional build week has slipped 1 week to wk38. Could be worse. I also asked about the Government PICG grant situation, which for me, like others on here, is a game changer if its not going to be applied. I was told that if the grant expires I'll have to pay t...

@Utumno, another update for your spreadsheet.

I spoke to my dealer today who advised my bog standard Life Pro Performance's provisional build week has slipped back to wk37.

Given everything that's going on its not come as a surprise. It is what it is.

The VW 18" Leon Alloys are another option. They're on the VW ID.3 Accessories PDF at £205 each. They're not diamond cut but thart means no white worm in future. Set of 4 £820. My local tyre guy swaps tyres for £25 a corner (my winter/summer tyre swaps) and you'll need new tyre to replace the da...

Thanks JohnEG. That's really useful to know. I dont always use the reversing camera but do find it extremely useful in certain circumstances.

Thanks for your day 1 review. It Is reassuring that your overall impression comes across as quite positive. Having also ordered a Life trim there are a couple of things I'm going to miss from my current cars spec including keyless entry and the reversing camera. They are conveniences which I reckon ...

Thanks for the warm welcome 😀 I bought my Polo 2 days after dealer showrooms were allowed to reopen after the first 2020 lockdown. I got an amazing deal on a late rder cancellation from my local dealer (Johnsons Warrington). I almost got my money back on the purchase price with the px on the ID3. I'...

Hi everyone, I've been following the forum for a couple of months so thought it was about time to introduce myself and take the opportunity to say thanks to the many contributing members for all the valuable info and experiences shared. My story so far... I ordered a Life Pro Performance in Moonston...
