Duration from Order to Uk Delivery - Your Experience?

[Markuus]

Posting here, because I'm not answering the asked question in the post!

So having ordered my 80 Sportline Dec 2021 with a dealer stating May 2022 delivery, I still have no build date or progress. Comms have been terrible and I only get something if I call, usually every 2 mo or so when I have the energy.

Yesterday I was told best estimates given no build week assigned would be Mar-Jul 2023. I made the point that a number of 80's were coming through now on forums, but was given the reply that the "Sportlines are particularly taking longer to come through." No reason given. Frankly, I can't believe anything the dealer says (multiple promises made on Comms never kept).

You might want to get them to check more frequently now. For some frustrating reason, it seems that the January/February 2022 Sportline orders have already been built, but now November/December 2021 Sportline orders are at least getting build weeks, even if they are into next year (like mine). See a screenshot of the spreadsheet below, filtered for UK Sportlines:

It pains me being so near the top of the list

We ordered our 80iv Arctic silver the beginning of March this year, having literally only heard from our Skoda dealer a couple of times I phoned them and said I was thinking of cancelling the order, I asked what's going on as we haven't even heard if the order had been accepted, I was informed that the car has a build week of 50 18th to 24th December, and should have the vehicle the end of January 2023, does anyone know what the true timescales are from build week to actually receiving the car?

Happy to be corrected but it feels very roughly like UK customers receive their cars about four weeks after build week (often a week or two longer for leased) and I think the sheet at backs that up.

For those of us in the UK who have cars built but not delivered, like people earlier on this thread I have become a ship watcher (although not very skilled or thorough!) I see the Malacca Highway vehicle carrier delivered a full load from Emden to Grimsby on Friday (I assume it was a full load because it looks like it often heads to Sheerness after a short stop in Grimsby, but this time it is headed straight back to Emden). Hopefully it will head straight back from Emden to Sheerness and all cars waiting will make it on board!

I think there is something in Sportlines being worse, but they are now coming through. To my mind it seems the wait times shortest to longest, post Ukraine re-invasion, are

• 60

• 80

• 80 Sportline

• 80x (if they are even in this list yet)

I still think it is down to the shell dimension differences. 80 sportline and 80x have longer wheelbase and overhangs than 60 or 80 basics, necessitating different looms etc which means they are more exposed to delays than the more commonly ordered models.

Update on my car which came minus paddles and heated steering wheel. Dealer rang me last Thursday (17th November 2022) to say that Skoda are going to re-build my Enyaq iv80, to the original specification. Build week is Week 51! (I'm not holding my breath as week 51 is between Christmas and New Year when I guess factory will be closed for the winter holiday!) Supposed to be ready for collection mid to end January 2023! In the meantime, I will be able to use the car that came without paddles and heated steering wheel is being at the dealership! Garage build is on the way. Hopefully will get the PodPoint installed soon. Will keep you posted.

Glad for you that they are doing the right thing. Good news, and that they have prioritised your new build

My car has arrived at the dealer, little short of 15 months waiting time.
I'm picking it up tomorrow!
Good luck to everyone waiting

Excellent news, what was your build week? trying to estimate when we might get ours that was build week 45

Hi,
I was assigned week 35 (end of August) but I'm under the impression that some components were missing as it remained in status "in production" until end of October.
Once done it took about 2 weeks for the transit from the factory to the dealer in Belgium.
Hang in there, you're almost there!

Just been allocated build week 51! That’s a nice suprise
