I'm currently considering ordering an SE L in Meteor Grey but just wondering if the dealer is being optimistic in quoting a 8-10 weeks delivery time. Any recent real world experiences?

I ordered mine early March and order just been confirmed on the factory,  so I would add minimum 4 weeks to that

I ordered my SportLine back in November last year and I collected it from the dealer 14 weeks later, obviously Christmas and New Year fell in between so not too bad really, pretty much what @Dazm said.

My Kodiaq arrived on 24 March - 19 weeks from order date.

 

I thought I was lucky. Expected up to 6 months.

 

Though I was told that petrol cars arrive quicker than diesels.

For what it's worth (slightly historical) ordered Jun 22, delivered 1st week October - did have several optional extras if that has any bearing on production time

Ordered a dynamic blue 1.5 TSi SE L November 2022, which subsequently arrived March 2023. I'd added a few options

You can always test the dealer by saying something like extra £200 off price per week from 11th week, but of course you won't mind as not expecting it that late.   
 

Then see what their reaction is, or if they back peddle on delivery date estimate.   After a long pause ask them why they misled you (if they did)

Can't see them wearing that one........but a nice thought!

We ordered end of September last year and still waiting for a build date.  Karoq SEL 1.5 DSG with extras. 5.5 months and counting.

There seem to be major problems at Emden according to this report: Dealers complain new VW, Audi and Porsche cars stuck in huge German port backlog – Car Dealer Magazine

 

and of course Skoda also use this for shipments to the Midlands and north, as well as VW, Audi etc! 

 

So just getting your car built, may not guarantee an early delivery!
