New T6.1 order delays

did you get a confirmation from your dealer about delivery time? I won't be here for Xmas time, so either it comes right before or otherwise I don't "care" if it arrives after.. It would be nice to have it as a bday gift (beginning Jan)
I just had an email exchange this evening. They still don't have a date but strongly believe it should happen by mid December.

I'm thinking of going snowboarding in Courmayeur after Christmas so having the new car would be cool, but since I'm keeping the Countryman All4 I'm not worried.
 
This is the wrap I have done. Half under body Wrap and a bonnet PPF. From the experience of owning Cali for 7 years, because of the high angled bonnet it has, a Bonnet PPF is a must. :)

Looks amazing.

I picked up my Mojave Beige 204, 4 motion on Monday and was considering PPF for the front end (£1,000, not just bonnet), as I won’t be wrapping the bottom half, but was told that it would be cheaper to re spray the front end (£550) before selling the vehicle, but would have to live with any stone chips until then.
 
We joined the “Status 20” club today! Production due to start next week, with a delivery (assuming no unforeseen component shortages, factory shutdowns or plagues of locusts) by January. 150DSG Ocean, various options, green/white 2-tone, ordered 1st March.
 
I’m in the same position. Been told today current build week of week 21, but with no guarantees. Good luck, keep me/us posted.
Just received an update from the dealer. Unconfirmed build of week 14 so there is a chance of getting it before the end of June
 
Cracking end to the week - also a provisional build date, week 10 (March), from a June ‘21 order. Loving the half wrap, @studioTUNGSTEN, planning something similar (with a Candy White base). Novice question - the PPF is a protective cover to card against flying stones etc…?

Hi to all owners and future owners of Californias! My name is Daniel, I ordered a 4 motion Beach Camper on the 12 of October, dealer called me yesterday saying that it will be built in January and probably delivered to dealership on the week 12, and that there would be a high probability that the van would be in my hands in April. Im having a very hard time believing this seeing all the feedback in this forum. Mind you that im in Portugal, mainland Europe
 
Hi just got email from dealer. Our coast is still showing on vw system in ireland as 'Internal transfer' he said there are others showing up with same status. He thinks its cause they are waiting on semi conductors. Any one else come accross this? We have been told its gone through the paint shop etc and now waiting on assembly. But held up in internal transfer. We got this status 4 weeks ago also..

That’s a great, almost pre-pandemic lead time. Nice one

Your dealer's explanation is unlikely to be true once the build has started. VW wouldn't have triggered the build if they didn't have all the parts on hand.
The more likely explanation is that something went wrong during the build that caused your van to be sidelined, either a quality control issue or an accident on the assembly line.
Once that happens it can take several weeks for it to be processed.
 
Our van is finally at the port but not made it onto a ship yet! It feels so tantalisingly close! I’m willing it along in my mind every day now….
 
You must be a little bit relieved - am I right in thinking your van has been in production since August?!
 
It went into build in June!
OMG!! We were feeling that the end of the wait is in sight with our dealer saying our van is going into production this week, but your experience suggests we could be waiting a good long time yet! Are you receiving the £500 “sorry” gesture from VW?

Yes we’ve had that letter some time ago now. It’s looking likely we will now take delivery around the anniversary of ordering!
 
Well after learning i was at status 30 (van heading to port) and a week of tracing every darn ship there was going to grimsby my top salesman at the vw centre manchester sent me an email simply stating " jim you dont need to look for ship names anymore..... its in Grimsby......

like what an epic email is that to get ? ordered in january and finally finally my actual ocean 4 motion is in the uk waiting to be delivered to the dealer. The purpose of this email is to say bloody well hang in there all of you on this thread, it actually does come along and happen for real. now how painful is this last 10 days or so going to be? Im guessing agony lol but each day now is like ticking off the advent calendar to the best xmas present ever :)
