I believe I'm looking at possibly late December, at time of ordering it was late September.
Currently its like watching paint dry. 😀

I think you've got a good chance of seeing it this year if your build week started two weeks ago! Have you had any further updates? Fingers crossed for you anyway 🤞🏼

Not a sausage. VW Live Chat blew me off with their “technical problems” nonsense and my dealer hasn’t got back to me yet (though he often takes a few days to wake up). Another forum member went into build the week before us and is in a similar spot.

Fingers crossed indeed.

Yes that was mine but alas still no further on. I will say dealers find it very hard getting information. VW communications are a lot to be desired.
There are forum members stating their dealers are reporting delays in build week.
The last time I was on chat with VW (when they gave updates) they stated to me that my vehicle could be in build stage for up to 4 weeks but someone reported this was now 6 weeks. So 8f you get a built a week it means diddly-squat.

Dealer has told me they currently cannot get any information on my car. VW chat wont tell me anythin either.

None of this adds up, but I'm resigned to it now being next year.

There seems to be at least some luck involved in actual delivery times. We've now got our turquoise Life Pro 145PS 58kWh with Assistance Pack. Key dates and events:

June: visit dealer, test drive, chats, decide model, options, etc. Advised lead time now ~20 weeks from order, meaning delivery in mid-November.
June 28, order placed and deposit paid
August 3, order has "confirmed" production week of 34 (ie starting Aug 23), but "factory is running around 8 weeks behind", suggesting "production around middle of October and delivery maybe mid November".
September 18, notified car has "completed production and is in transit from the factory", expected in UK sometime in October.
September 23, notified car is "now at the port in Emden"
October 1:2 Malacca Highway ships car from Emden to Sheerness (thanks for the pointers, Newfie!)
October 8, car arrives at dealer

A slightly pessimistic estimate of delivery time is probably a Good Thing, but even the dealer seemed surprised that the car arrived so far ahead of the initial estimate.

Apparently, new customers are being told to expect delivery times of 5 months.

As used to be advised in newsgroup days on Usenet "YMMV" - your mileage may vary - ie my experience is not necessarily a guide to what you will find. Even so, it might be helpful to those currently waiting or considering buying.

Now my wife and I need to take some time to get all the various bits of tech / apps talking to one another, AND to understand how to navigate them all!

Last week, one dealer told me a 26 week wait and another suggested it was 40 weeks.

Looking like 40 weeks for us, and we ordered 4th August, our date went from Nov delivery to Jan now not being produced until week 10 2022, so will be at least May before we get it.

So around 42 weeks from initial order

My dealer said yesterday that VW were quoting "26+" weeks, so pretty opened ended!

Some positive news here, we ordered at the beginning of August, order number received overnight on the 5th. I think I reported a couple of weeks ago we had been given a confirmed build week of 42 by our dealer. That's this week. On cue this morning my wife has received an unsolicited email from VW UK (not from our dealer) confirming that our car is now in production.
Still hoping for delivery this year.
We do seem fortunate compared to people who ordered only slightly later.

Timelines have seemed to varied absolutely wildly on here judging from the last three pages. I think its safe to say there's very little resemblence of a pattern or predictability 😅

Just spoke to my dealer who said my car was at stage 7 out of 8 and has been for the last 6 weeks, awaiting semiconductors.
Unsure what the various stages are though.
She also sadly confirmed that my new mid-December delivery is likely accurate, which I’m still very pessimistic about.

You can check the meaning of the status codes here: viewtopic.php?p=8775#p8775
Although not sure how this relates to the 8 stages the dealer mentioned.

Nor do those stages relate to the old tracking system as stage 7 was vehicle at dealer.
Sounds like stages of the actual production line.

And I have an "update" from my dealer :
Your car is still showing as build week confirmed for week 40 of 2021. This date has clearly passed and it has not progressed onto the in build in progress status.
I would suggest that there is a delay on the build almost definitely caused by the lack of silicon chips of which I am sure you will know is the big issue here.
I have no further update or information available on this situation so will keep you as soon as I see some progress.
Doesn't seem like good news to me.

Hello from Italy. Similar story here. Id. 3 Pro Performance (with a few optionals) ordered 28th July. Confirmed build week 40. Today it's still "in production". I hope for a Nov. delivery but it seems hard...

It seems like the Bermuda triangle. You get a build week then it disappears. 🤷

Been talking to my dealer today and he was saying he does not see "build in progress" status. He only sees "production finished"
So who knows what information we get is the correct.
We'll see if Santa can speed things up. 🤷😀
