A friend of mine ordered one in Q1 2022 and was given a suggested build date of July 2022. It’s still not been built!
Ordered mine 27/01/2022. Delivery was initially 30/06/2022. Currently mine doesn't even have a preliminary build slot. Did before Xmas but been taken off completely apparently. Didn't even know that was possible.

I'm beginning to think they are deliberately trying to pee me off so I cancel, due to the deal I got. (£340 a month, no initial, maintained).
I was on a close deal to that although I suspect that yours is 5000 miles where mine is 10000 miles - mine is being built next week if it helps with confidence

Great that another early deal is being built. I'll stay optimistic.

I've bought a 5 year old Mazda3 to tide me over - needed something. Getting a bit annoying now.

Update just now unconfirmed build week 22 FFS speachless! Swear they are doing this so we cancel. Just told that the ones that are cancelling are being re-sold so guess that means at todays prices. Going to have to buy a run about and see what happens. Not going to let VW win.

You could be worse, I’ve just had an email telling me that the unconfirmed build week I had has disappeared from the system and I now have no build information at all.

Deep joy

73 plates here we come!! Have to say I am more than a little alarmed and am starting to think that my car is never coming, after being told today that the cancelled cars from the batch are being reallocated to new customers paying todays prices, starting to think this is a conspiracy to get me and whoever else to cancel so they can sell at a profit. Makes sense to me. If they push these back once more they will be changing model year again and then I would say we are in 8.5 time frame at which point they can could potentially cancel as the model we ordered will be superseded! I hope I am reading too much into this however something is not right and it frankly is starting to look like something more sinister to me! First point of call tomorrow will be strongly worded email to Arval with CEO on copy also to Inchcape asking for a full explanation and finally to VW UK. There is no way this is down to chip shortages. These cars were ordered in Jan 21 so if the unconfirmed date happens likely be August for delivery so wait for September that is 4 months shy of THREE years! No way got to be more to it.
