Just heard from the Dealer that the car is with them ready for delivery - lease company just haven't yet authorised it....any day now (hopefully). So August 18th order placed, build week 43, <6 weeks to UK and dealer inspection/registration etc. completed before w49! Final spec was Elroq 85, Plus Pack, Winter Pack, Heat Pump and in Grey

Got an update from the garge, build week is confirmed for week 43, they're hopeful it could be delivery in 2025!

Just placed my order for my new Elroq; Edition 85 with a few extras - garage advised 17-19 weeks, so hopefully here for the New Year!

Delivery confirmed for January 13th (hopefully not unlucky!) as vehicle has just passed the inspection at the dealer this morning!

I also ordered a m21 Octavia iV, which is being built as a m22 now, only change is that they took the upgraded alloys off but it’s £350 cheaper

Updated info: Order placed June 2021 Skoda accepted July 2021 Vehicle into build week 44 (Nov 1) Vehicle finished build December 2021 Vehicle shipping to U.K. December 10th Vehicle now in U.K. January 4th Vehicle awaiting transport to dealer for inspection and delivery estimated week of Jan 17th

As if by magic this has now been delayed to w/c 17th Jan by the dealer as of this morning - no reason given. At least I’m used to the delays now…

It seems to be very dealer specific - my lease company would give me a monthly update, but I was contacting the dealer directly to get more detailed information. I had nothing unprompted from them. My colleague ordered an Audi, and was told nothing until they got a phone call that the car was ready for collection!

Just been told to expect the vehicle to be ready for delivery to me w/c 3rd January which will be 3 weeks after it's left the factory, although unsure if the holidays will hold anything up slightly.

Just had notification that my car is built, and now on the way to the port before coming over to the U.K., expected to be delivered in January. The details you’ll all want: Ordered through Leaseplan, placed with Listers in Coventry Octavia SEL 1.4 PHEV/iV Brilliant silver, otherwise no extras Order placed with Leaseplan in June, but accepted by Skoda in early July. Was quoted 20 weeks lead time, will come out around 25 depending on final delivery date! Good luck to you all!

This seems very quick, congrats for being a lucky one!

I was quoted 20 weeks for mine beginning of July, it's not built yet either 😞 and by that lead time should be arriving this week

Lease company just advised they’re expecting the car to arrive before Christmas, I’m sceptical as dealer only said last week that it’s not finished build yet. Octavia estate 1.4 PHEV SEL in Silver, ordered in July

Just spoke with my dealer, and the car did go into build on week 44, but it hasn’t yet completed. Presumably it’s missing something and now the real waiting game begins..!

Also U.K. based - my provisional build week was 44 (Nov 1st), but still no update on if it was built or not. My dealer said that a provisional build week isn’t guaranteed as they need a completion/exit from build confirmation and obviously they can move weeks!
