Hi Mingus what date did you place your order for the 80?
Officially Sept 18th with Motability but the order to Skoda didn’t go in until later in October when the 85 was officially announced. The dealer was aware I didn’t want an 80 but at that point the edition spec wasn’t announced.
The dealer let us have the car for the 85 edition price of the final quarter of 2023 which was lower too.
Hi, could you update us on Friday with what your recieve? I hope its an edition for you. My dealer has maintained throughout mines will be an edition. I suggested reordering in November to be sure but he was certain there are no other models.
It was indeed an Edition.?

Will do!
Has anyone received one of these 85 base spec models yet for an orginal 80 (no pack) order? Still waiting on my converted 80 (no packs) leaving the German port
Picking our car up on Friday. Not sure if it’s a basic 85 or an edition. Been trying to ring the dealer with no luck.
The dealers updates said 85 edition but Motability account doesn’t say.
We ordered an 80 and according to the dealer, the car at the exit port awaiting transport to us is an 85 Edition. The AP for the base 80, when we ordered, was more than the 85 Edition is now and there is no base 85 model.
This is starting to get stupidly repetitive. Skoda have built 85 non edition base models to meet orders for 80 base models and have also built non X sportlines. They have already appeared on Skoda stock. The fact you can’t go and order an 85 base isn’t relevant.
Just sharing the fact that the automated update from Skoda for my order says 85 Edition.
If it isn’t I will be unhappy, as I could have re-ordered in October.
The Guardian did a series of mythbuster articles about EV’s

In short, the environmental worries about EV’s are unfounded, on balance, and will become even less so as the technology develops.
I would imagine the fossil fuel industry has been doing it’s best to spread doubt, as they have admitted doing previously regarding environmental issues.
