Cotswold

iV 60 ordered at the end of June and got the following news from the dealer: The system is currently showing a build week of 36. This means it will be built week commencing the 6th September then will take around 4 weeks to arrive at the dealership. Now just need to get my home charging wall box sorted. Rather annoying that most installers insist on an isolation switch being added by the electricity supplier into the meter box. According to an electrician friend, this is just to make the installation quicker and lower cost for the wall box installers. My consumer unit is right up to date and includes the isolation switches there, but often the wall box installers want to avoid touching customers consumer units. Having the isolation switch in the meter box means that anyone can just walk up and turn off your supply without a key to your home..... When people are away on holiday (remember those!), they tend to rely on RING door bells, Wifi and home alarms. Not great if the power is turned off all week....

If anyone finds a decent rear bumper protector for the Enyaq, please share the details. I frequently carry bikes and they often scratch the bumper when being loaded, so I don't want that happening on day-one of getting the Enyaq! Thanks

Interesting topic about lead times. EV Wall Box installers need the expected delivery date to use on the Government Grant application. Skoda, like others, are being very cautious with giving out firm dates, so this make it tricky to get in writing....

Of course, it is personal taste, but looked at one with eco Suite at the dealer in Swindon. I would say it was light brown, not orange. Gives the car a premium feel well above the option price. Therefore I have chosen it, along with Artic White body. Car is not due until October, so cannot say how it worked out!

Don't know about the change in specification, but I ordered mine on the last day of June, in order to avoid the July price list. The price of my configuration ended up going up by about a grand. So, I could tell myself I got a discount of sorts.

Thanks all, cannot see why I missed it!

I will ask the dealer why that Basic option is not appearing and if I he can order it.

Take a look. The issue is that it is £1,275 and you must have it with one of the convienence packages. Odd

Sadly the Basic Parking package is no longer available (must have been too good to be true..)

I think the option packs might have changed around a little in the latest offerings, but this is what I am going for. Comments welcome: 60 ecoSuite - love the brown 'leather' Artic Silver Metalic £595 100 kW DC charge £440 Chrome pack £0 Standard 19" wheels (I prefer ride comfort and cost of tyres!) Drive Package basic (heated steering wheel with regen paddle controls) Rear view camera seems only to be on some crazy expensive package now at over £1,000 Nothing else selected. Thanks

Any comments or experience on the topic of Wall Boxes? Skoda propose the PodPoint which seems OK. Octopus Energy offer the EO minipro 2 which can link to your account and only charge a night on the lowest tariffs. Getting the one without the integrated charge cable seems more flexible if you have visitors with another car brand.

I'm in the process of ordering and also have gone for the 19" (which appear to still be available according to the dealer, yesterday). I had read that the Enyaq ride could be a bit harsh, but on the test drive, I found it OK on the 19" wheels. That combined cost of tyres and possible better economy from narrower tyres made the decision.
