Sad but true. If your car is already on parking lot, is all luck when it comes to you, because when the workers comes to finish some cars, they dont get one from middle of the parking lot which is parked there a much longer. They just finish the one on the edge. My dealer confirmed to me, that the cars are delivered to them from the parking areas completely randomly, regardless of the age of the order.

 

 

again why do people listen to the dealers,they have no idea at all what is comimg until it is on ferry or it has arrived in the uk.even then i would not believe a word off the bunch of  lying bunch of )%£"_

To date, there is 17.000 incompleted Octavias on parking areas. New cars have priority in production, than the incompleded ones. In last 2 weeks they completed 1.282 incompleted ones.

At this pace they need more than 20 weeks to finish them all, and their plan is to deliver until the end of September? With summer holidays and closures? Sounds legit 😉

 My dealer told me yesterday that the facotry is producing only those cars for which they have all parts on stock. I don't think it's true, otherwise there wouldn't be as many cars with VIN number and awaiting parts. He also said that the car is produced from 0 to finished in cca one week. That I do believe...

I got info that car went to production on 29/03 (I made all the queries, dealer only called me when there was news of fire), VIN appeared on 11/04 (could be earlier but that’s when I asked dealer if any news). So yes, about a week it is, except for the finished part as it is now mostly missing something…

Actually as far as i remember the car is assembled very fast on the pruduction line (they have all the parts there just in time)...I think more than 1000 Octavias can be produced in a single day when the factory is working at full capacity 

If they plan to finish all the incompleted ones, they will need to work a bit more on them

Honestly i believe you, cause that absolutley makes sense to me. If it was any diferent, i and many others would already have our cars delivered.

For God sake people that ordered in september 2021 are already driving their highly speced cars and i am here waiting for 14 months for a simple 2.0 TDI Octavia with Style package and few extras that were never mentioned to be "problematic" 🤦‍♂️😅

The amout of completed cars will grow week by week obviously...because the production of the door-panels started just 2-3 weeks ago.

Look guys, what i share here with you, are legit, real informations, comfirmed by dealers, employees of Skoda, customers, members of our forum in czech. There is plenty of people, who ordered they cars 4,5 or 6 months later then others a already got them. There is no point in looking for a system, or logic in it. Because there is none. The supply of parts varies over time and Skoda produces what the part compares to. This applies to newly manufactured cars.

 

 

 

For the incompleted ones, its like i wrote. No one will move 100 cars to get for the one that stands there a month longer. No one. At the end of the last year, the situation with incompleted cars was much worse (about 40-45K incompleted cars) a they managed to comblete almost all of them in 2 months.

Dear mate, please don’t take it the wrong way, I am only thankful for your insight, the disbelief was aimed at Skoda not you 😉 

I only thought the door panel production started before (you mention a few weeks)? There was a post somewhere where Skoda was bragging that they manage to restart it, but don’t have the time to search for it now).

So basically, if you have luck your car was not already started, but once when try start producing it it will be faster than cars that are half finished. I did get information from dealer, that my car should be delivered around 34/2022. and it's still not in production. No VIN or anything. I did order it on 30 July 2021. But I am not sure it this information is correct, I would like to believe that is, because I will get my car sooner, and if it was parked somewhere no one can know...

I guess you mean the LinkedIn-post made by some Skoda-chief. I guess they really managed to restart the door panel production by then, but I also understand that it may have taken some time to reach a higher capacity. And of course, adding door panels to parked cars is a side process, and we don´t know how complicated it is . I mean, that you need to transport the door panels to a parking lot and then arrange the installing somehow. I assume that they want to install a larger amount of door panels at the same time, not just a couple and then return to get another from the factory line. And of course the assembling line need door panels too.

 

But, I think there really is some hope now. 🙂

Thanks for the clarification, sometimes its harder for me to feel the meaning of a sentence correctly

Yep, thats correct. If your car is to be built sometime soon, you will most likely have it sooner than cars that are half finished, because currently unfinished cars are produced at an absolute minimum. 

 

 

 

Long story short - Today, its better not to have VIN, than to have one.

Is this 100% correct that car was not started with production if you do not have VIN? 

For the first time this year there are 10 octavias on stock in Slovenia - 6 Combi and 4 hatch - so things are improving. Its just sad that škoda doesn't  finish and deliver the cars based on order date (FIFO method).

?

Are the cars build, delivered and in stock maybe lacking some features that the incompleted builds sitting waiting for parts were supposed to have so need to get before the build can be finished?

 

Those cars sitting for a long long time are now going to be New Old Stock by the time buyers get them.

Warranty will start at the First Registration on cars many months since almost built but driving under their own power.

Yes. The VIN will car recieve about 7-10 days before fixed date of production. Since than, dealer can see in the system, what stage of production the car is in, how long it has been in the welding stage, the paint stage, what manufacturing errors have occourred (faulty parts), even what worker farted in your seat  But it depends on the willingness of the dealer whether this info reaches the customer or not.

The car can be damaged in transit and require a touch up and that information manages to bypass anyones knowledge and various excuses can be made for why the car has arrived in a country and is not ready for a PDI and delivery.

Later on in the cars life when someone has a corrosion or paint warranty claim they tell the customer the paint is not to factory spec.

  Rare obviously, but funnily you only hear because of social media / forums.

can i add a point,what software will these car have WHEN we get our cars,i know or should i say i was told my car was built in febuary 2022.just hope WHEN we get our cars they will have the latest software and not the old software where people were getting a lot of problems.

IMHO every parked car will get newest version which will be available at that moment. They will check cars again after they finish them, because they were parked for months, I do not think that will Škoda add doors panel and send cars without checking everything again.

Since 2022, every new car got HW58 and SW 1899 

Fot older cars, with HW56 there is SW 1896 avaiable. 

 

Both version running smooth without bigger problems. But they are not final products, Skoda is still working on it and there will be another updates. 

Hi all, first time posting so forgive me if I am missing anything or going over old ground.

 

Probably a how long is a piece of string question but here goes anyway. I ordered an Octavia SEL PHEV in Sept 2021, what are the chances I will see it in the next 9 months? I am tempted to just cancel an order something else as I am getting no info from the dealer. Its a shame as its a pretty good deal and the car I want but I cant wait forever

 

Thanks in advance

Well, i think chances are pretty big, i think you should get your car early next year, however it's only my speculation, because Skoda has no logic. As my dealer told me, average wait time now from 12 to 18 months, however i can't tell is it true because i think he's specilating as well

Well, cancelling your order would just put on some other brand queue  Also prices are going up, so make sure to be sure.

So ordered my Octavia estate IV SE techno back in July 21 and I finally have a VIN and a registration number 😃 Things looking good for delivery in under two weeks!  I’m leasing for a couple of years and just happened to order via leaseloco when prices were at their lowest. For exactly the same deal now with all the same criteria through the same lease company, the deposit has gone up to £3709 from £1600 and monthly payments to £605 from £270. To say I’m happy is an understatement!!

It's a bit of a teaser seeing this driving in front, and (🙋‍♀️) been waiting for it since July 2021, and still no info so far 😞.

Yeah, I keep seeing more and more Skodas here in Finland, and each time I get envious  Where is MY car?!

Mine is at the dealer... Finally
