Man, I was so nervous yesterday evening and this morning, could hardly sleep, mentally preparing myself for arguing because of missing blind spot detection - but it’s all good, it’s there 😊 looks 😍, will have a hard time waiting now until Wednesday (you’ll say what is 4-5 days compared to 14 months, but still 😁).

Here’s a little preview:

It seems that this year's Christmas 🎄🚘 present comes to you a bit earlier than usual. 😀  I wish you that time until you finally pick it up runs quickly! 🤞

Or my birthday one rather late 😉

Thanks dear Audrey, I hope you get yours soon as well.

Thank you😀 👍!

I picked up mine as planned, today around noon. Overall pleasantly impressed, even found 2 extra-options I had no idea about: one is the front parking sensors and the other are the pockets on the back of the front seats (including the small pockets for the phones of back passengers). Both were optional for Style trim in Romania when I placed the order, I didn't ask for either... Front sensors however were part of the ParkAssist which I removed from options sometime along the waiting time. I also have the Skoda logo projector under the front door - those are apparently standard for Style trim, or so the dealer mentioned.

One important minus I noticed during the short ~60km trip today: there's a small cricket making noises from time to time (depending on road texture) somewhere in front of me, behind the wheel. It seems to be the shiny bit of trim on the dashboard, between the steering-wheel and left door - I pressed a bit harder on it and the creak stopped. ☹️ I confess I'm a bit obsessed with random noises inside the car; especially since it's really quiet inside - it could be due to the soundproof front-side windows I included as option.

 

L.E.
Oh, I remembered to check what @Jettamc22 was asking on the previous page.
So, if yo want to see the gear number, simply flick the DSG-changer from D to S; on S it will continuously show the #gear. For my taste it's almost mandatory, because I found the car was cruising in town at around 60 km/h with ~1.200rpm (that's not great for the cat-converter and for the FAP). Once in S, it immediately shifted 1 gear down, with no other input from me on the gas pedal.
The second way to see your gear number is to use the shifting-pads behind the steering-wheel; the DSG will go into Manual mode and you'll see the #gear. However, it doesn't automatically go back to Automatic mode after a while. You have to pull back on the DSG-changer and it will come back to Auto - the last mode that was used, either D or S...

Congratulations to both of you and hope you have many many great miles ahead

Hey everybody, I'm glad to read about all these update posts since I last came on here! I know the wait has been unbearable for most of us (I'm in my 14th month of waiting now).

 

So, this week I received a call from my dealership, and—if all goes well—I'm getting my vRS this month! They'll update me on this in the coming weeks; but I still can't believe that this is actually happening, as I was already preparing myself mentally for a late 23' delivery. Here's hoping that no further **** goes down! 😅

Here we are again. Again everyone in Slovenia (also from elsewhere), who ordered after me, get the car before me. Still happy for you guys! Congrats.

Are you still on production week 40 or 42?

It was week 43. I don't know. I will check again this week. But even if week 43 stands this will mean around 16 months wait till delivery. So I would get the car on the month when my coworker oredered it last year (almost same config). He is driving it since February this year. 🤪

Hi guys!

 

Picked up my vRS last friday. 15 months of wait totally worth it! 

 

Has someone sorted the column J, 'Variant', in the spreadsheet without sorting the rest of the data?  My vRS had changed to something else.

Anyway, in other new, tomorrow marks a year to the day that I ordered my car and I've heard absolutely nothing!  Very frustrating, especially as I'm having to drive a car around that I'd never have chosen unless out of desperation.

Yes, the sheet is a mess since early September. I tried to restore it, but there were too many smaller edits, that proved to be labors of Sisyphus.

Just when I was started to get optimistic that my week46 2022  will come true, I was informed that now it is week5 2023... ordered Sep 13th 2021..

She’s home 😊🥳

More to follow once we get to know each other 😉

Which rims are these? I only had Altair as option.

Congrats!!! Come back with first impressions.

 

I am still on week 43 from start of September, but I can't shake the feeling, that they will **** me over again and I will go crazy.

Taurus, 19´´. These are not avaiable in configurator for vRS, only for Sportline. Bought them extra.

Feels very nice, drives smoothly, it’s just infotainment that will take some getting used to, my mother-in-law’s Mazda was a no brainer and switched to my Apple music playlist where I left it while listening on a previous ride or at home, while Skoda goes to the alphabetic order and always starts with the same song. But the rest seems 👌. Dsg is smooth, and she looks so much better without the gearbox. I also have the Skoda sign on the floor, I guess they added this now.

I sure hope they stick to the plan finally, so you get yours soon as well, fingers crossed 🤞

Anybody got their Hybrids yet? 😅

Just wondering, what is the Skoda app that some of you use to keep track or see the status of your car? And what details do you need to get on it?

I asked the dealer yesterday about the current deliveries and he said that currently they receive no hybrids or plug-ins, but for petrol and diesel the situation is better, some arrive within 2-3 months after the order. 
About the app - you need your car’s VIN number. My car showed in the app when it received the transport from the factory status. 

Guys, after less than 15 months of patiently waiting for my car,  D-day has arrived today.🏆 It is a bitter-sweet moment, though, on one side and at the same time, a birthday present to me (BD tomorrow) 😀. 

 

It was worth waiting for it. At the beginning of this week, the dealer called me with surprising info that I could pick up the car this week. I didn't even get the VIN. It was more than a year since I placed the order with no information; in August, the info foresaw the build date in September and an estimated delivery date in the 41st week of 2022. But it arrived a bit early, just for my BD 😀.

 

I hope and wish you to get some positive information and surprises with your orders, as I did.

The Skoda app seems quite useful to me.I am just using it two days now, but it gives a  lot of information about the car such as the current mileage,service intervals,various driving data,vehicle health report and the most important, it shows the parking position where the car is left(you can even flash the side lights and horn it via the app when the car is parked).You can read the surrounding temperature as well via the car temperature sensor in the app.I am sure lots of more options are in there.

service intervals,

Where could you find the service intervals?  I'm also happy with the app (both phone- and web-based), but I can't have any service interval or related information. I know the App does have More->Service-Overview, but it's basically a link to the Shop with extra-options available for the car. Anything else?
A similar App for mu Renault used to show me time/km for the next service and all the operations to be performed...
