I believe that this means 7th week of 2023. Are you sure that they mean July? Because my last update, just before I cancelled the order was 16/22, meaning 16th week od 2022. I even got a screenshot of that, thats from their software.

Sorry to say that more of you can expect similar updates from your dealers.

Heated front seats, side assist, driving profile selector, ambient lighting, hill assist, reversing camera + top led lights.

1.5. TSI manual SportLine, Porsche Inter Auto, Zagreb.188500 kuna.

Finally Skoda called me about the fire. They are admitting that they don't have a "plan B" supplier for those parts and to expect further delays. What's most important, they stated that they understand if we're unable to wait that they are ready to return the deposit in full. I paid for the new Mazda 3 sedan yesterday, I'm expecting it by the end of the week, worst case scenario early next week. If not for you guys I would still be waiting and in the dark. I've been waiting for 5 1/2 months, I'm done. I'll stick around to check what's going on with you guys. Skoda, right car, wrong time.

I paid the deposit on the Mazda3 yesterday. Should be mine by the end of next week. I'll wait a few days before cancelling the Skoda, just to be on the safe side. I was really looking forward to the Octavia, maybe the 5th generation somewhere in the future...

I'm about to. I can't wait any longer. They told me 25 week of 2022 but they're not 100% sure about that. I ordered the car 14th of September. My baby is due in 2 months, we have an old 3 door Peugeot 206. My local Mazda dealer has a Mazda 3 sedan coming in by end of the month, the price is the same, it has more equipment. It's just less practical than the Octavia but I think we'll manage with just one kid. If I have another I'll change the car, hopefully the chip situation will be sorted by then. The dealer said that they give the deposit back, and it's just 1000 kuna, or ~ £120. On the contract it says they're not giving it back so we'll see when I call them.

What does "22 plates" mean and why is this worth the wait? I'm curious.

Contacted my dealer in Croatia, asked about the fire. She said they didn't recieve anything from the factory regarding further delays. Ordered on 14.9.2021. she sent me the screenshot, delivery date is 25th week of 2022., end of June. HOWEVER, when we spoke a month and a half ago, she told me that delivery would be late april/early may. So I would say that it was actually delayed. Even the screenshot says "Delayed 25/22" Then again, in the grand scheme of things, June would actually still be early because when I ordered the car they said 330 days waiting, meaning August 2022. This tells me that they actually don't know what they're doing and I am so close to canceling the order and going for a Mazda 3 sedan, there are a couple available at the dealers.

One step forward, two steps back...

Just received a call from the sales rep (after I sent her an email earlier today). She said that the chip situation is not the best, but that it's somewhat better and that the cars have started coming in. I ordered mine beginning of september, initially quoted july/august delivery, now she told me it could be as early as april/may. Normally I would be excited with the news, however since I've been following this thread, I'm not holding my breath. We will see. The good news is that I wasn't pressuring or anything, just wanted to wish her well for the holidays and to check if there are some news from the factory. Nothing in it for her to lie and give me a sooner date since I've already excepted my fate and almost a year long wait.

No, they have to give me everything that we agreed upon, I as a customer do not care and should not care what model year is it. I know what I ordered and must get it.

Skoda have officially closed their factories for 2 weeks. In that period they plan to finish 10000 cars that were missing the final parts. After those two weeks they plan to resume the production. Not as bad as I thought.

A month ago. She told me that she is sending that to all buyers. My fathers boss is waiting for a Kodiaq, they initially told her february, but they have since informed her that they don't know when the car will come but that it won't be february.

Just got an e-mail and a call from Škoda. Basically they regret to inform me that the car will probably be late, no specifics.
