Delivery Delays

[Jerry57]

Clearly, the international shortage of microchips is affecting production. I believe JLR have actually temporarily stopped production of certain models.

Got confirmation today mine was built in week 19 (mid may)  as a MY21 but is "stuck" awaiting components. No update on the date though

[Berisford]

Got my 'update' today, my 280 Estate ordered 25th May allegedly being built this week and should be here at the end of August .......... we'll see, either way a '71' reg. 

 

Was originally told 15 weeks so that might turn out to be correct.

[Hozz]

Mine that was ordered on 5 February has finally arrived.

It was built in March but since then has been waiting for a part.

I took delivery of it yesterday....Hooray!

Had an update on mine today. Ordered 09 February. It's now at status 30 - travelling to port of exit

How are you getting updates on your vehicle status? I placed an order on an "in-flight" vehicle last week with delivery estimated in September but I don't know when I should receive any updates on status or if there is a website I can check?

 

Eagerly waiting an SE L iV!

[Jerry57]

I'm getting a phone call every 2 weeks from the dealer. Although there's no real updates it's reassuring that they haven't forgotten me. 

[ant177]

Ah, I'll try not to annoy them too much just yet then! ;-)

If you have your vehicle order number, go to the Skoda UK live chat and they'll tell you in 2 minutes where it is. If you don't have your order number, just ask your salesperson

After much back/forth between lease company, dealer and myself, my new one (Superb 190 L&K Hatchback, with a few extras) is finally ordered today.  I am not optimistic about getting it any time soon, but I will post something when I find out.

I've tried to get an update on our car a couple of times this week but apparently they are having issues with their vehicle status system and unable to track vehicles.

It's a shame there isn't an online order status tracker!

My in laws have just been told that their Superb is on its way from the factory to exit port. They ordered end of March.

@awahwah - Out of interest, how does that time frame align with what they were told when they ordered it originally in March? Was the estimate roughly accurate?

A factory fresh order to my spec was quoted as 16 weeks but there was a standard spec model supposedly scheduled to hit the UK in September so I  went for that one. Fingers crossed that it arrives this year!

Looks like a 2 week delay. My father in law did make contact with the dealer though and expressed that if they cannot deliver in the agreed time frame he would want to look at other options. Maybe that focused minds.

Just ordered my second Superb today ,was informed that it’s a 20 week wait.  No stock either apparently.

additionally, all discounts are in past :(

 

No they're not!  Go to www.drvethedeal.com.  I got £9750 off my new iV L&K order.

[ant177]

Our car was due to be delivered this month but I have been notified that Skoda are expecting it to be another 4-6 weeks. 

Admittedly they always said it would be near the end of the month so it isn't really too much of a delay from the promised date.

 

Fingers crossed!

It gives ChargedEV chance to get the charge point installed for us ready as well.

When did you order your car may I ask?

Ordered on the 19th July but it was for a factory spec car that already had a scheduled build week so it was a shorter queue (in theory) than a custom order.

[ND1]

Still nothing, ordered at the end of April, car was 99% complete in July.

Ah, I won’t get too excited then. That sucks.

 

Although I had heard that they prioritised hybrids slightly higher as it makes their fleet numbers look better, so I will keep a little bit of hope for ours being on this revised timeline!

 

Every industry is facing massive problems at the moment, we’re redesigned a lot of our products around parts that we can acquire. It isn’t quite as easy in automotive when things need to be requalified.

Still waiting on any information as well... Lease company chased multiple times, but no build/delivery week yet.  If I get it (Skoda Superb Hatchback 2.0 TSI 190 Laurin + Klement DSG w/options chosen) before Christmas, I'll be amazed.  Order went in, in July.

I see, that’s what I did , I ordered a 1.5 petrol SE L, DSG ,metallic paint , spare wheel and winter pack. The salesman told me that everything is factory order at the moment as there is no stock  , so I could have what options I wanted, well I could anyway as I’m paying for it. 😀

I wonder what happens with a new car after many months without any driving. Will it need some additional maintenance, battery/oil change? I am also worried about possible Interior problems, because of direct sun and non-changing position. It's depressing. 

[Berisford]

Had a ‘update’ from my dealer yesterday, no good news on my week 29 car but they did have 7 vehicles arriving next week and all built week 27 28 & 29.
