In my old Seat it used to override the speed limiter (if set)

Yeah that news wasn't encouraging. But it did say they had tons of cars built just awaiting chips, so there's always the small hope that the car could be 90% finished just not getting a build week until the chips are in

Yeah you are probably right. Just a bit paranoid as it's a 3rd party company who arranged the lease so no direct contact with dealer. Must have got a hell of a lot worse though, but that's the nature of a chip shortage.

29/30 weeks! bloody hell! starting to wonder if I was given a false date now as that would imply a more than doubling of time in 3 months.

Same here, ordered a lease one in mid July, 1.0 110 SE L with basic paint and no options, contract said 14 weeks estimated, its been nearly 12 and every update is just awaiting build week. Very frustrating.
