Hi Im a new member on here just wanted to share a few things. Ordered my VRS 2nd July 2021 and as of yesterday the factory still haven't accepted my order yet. My VW Tiguan lease runs out in November but thankfully as its a VW group car I ordered (the VRS) VW are letting me lease month by month for the Tiguan until my VRS arrives. I have been watching this forum for a while and I can tell you what's happening in the automotive industry. I am a transport manager that delivers finished seat sets to Nissan and JLR. JLR shut for most of September to build up parts and are due in next week however production is limited. Nissan will close next week and we are expecting more down days and this is all because of a lack of parts mainly semiconductors. Its expected to be like this until the first quarter of next year maybe even longer. Because I can see day to day what's happening I can be a little more patient waiting for delivery. All manufacturers are the same so if you cancel one order and go to another manufacturer chances are you will be in the same boat with an even longer wait. Reading these posts my problem is with the lease agents / dealers and manufacturers. If they were honest and just said we have no idea when your car will arrive (which is the truth) I'm sure people will accept that and wait. As things are unless your car is at the port and fully built there is no way they can honestly tell you when you will get your car
