It’s a whole lot of a mess at VW and I’ve read that hybrids are being put on hold for the rest of this year and maybe longer. The excuse this time is the EU are going to re-evaluate all hybrids including plug-ins because they say they cause more CO2 than ordinary petrol or diesel cars yet get a tax advantage. I think the hybrid cancelations is a worst set back than the year I’m waiting for my Tiguan and don’t know what to suggest in view that there’s little else to choose from on Motability at this moment in time. The EU excuse is on top of the chip and Russian excuses.?
On another matter of delays at VW I’ve read yesterday that VW are stopping some options on some models including the Tiguan and one of those is an option I’m paying extra for (IQ-Lights) but they remain as standard equipment on the Elegance but not able to order as an extra on the R-Line for the time being however lucky for myself current options already ordered will be fulfilled.
The thinking behind the option exclusions is to help move existing orders forward and giving them more chips to meet current orders.
Options closed for ordering from 16/03/22, these are add on option but OME should still remain as ordered and options ordered before 16 March should be OK…I hope.?
