Hi,
so this is my experience of ordering a Volkswagen but the sharan model, I ordered beginning of August 2020, got told by dealer that it would be a 18 week wait, actually it is a lot longer I’m on week 26 car has just been built and on way to Emden before coming to uk, so looking like late feb early March I might get it.
my experience of vw is the dealer has not been good enough, I have never ever been updated from them it has always been vw customer live chat who have told me about what’s happening, also there was a thread by brydo who did a write up about semi conductors shortage, this held up my car by about four weeks and it’s currently taking them 2 full weeks to build cars rather than 17-24 hours in normal times.
I hope this helps.
