New T6.1 order delays

[M88GAV]

Oh that is great news, thanks for sharing.

At least it it will be great news for us if our order gets brought forward, as I think the current provisional build date is sometime in September (week 35)

Also no blanket yet!

I just called my dealer to ask about the price protection extension and he said they had been told verbally, awaiting written confirmation.
He went on to say that he was planning to call me today as my provisional build week has gone from 38 (last week) to 21!!!
A glimmer of hope and some excitement but I know this doesn’t really mean anything and can keep changing for a long time yet!
May be worth having a chat with your dealer to see if anything has changed for you too?

Oooh that was a nice update then, on both bits of news.

Your new date is pretty much back in line with our original provisional build week of week 18, that slipped to 28 then 35. Our orders do seem to be moving quite similarly, so we’ll call our dealer tomorrow and report back.

Still no blanket though

Just seen a pic of the letter which accompanies the blanket as someone posted it on FB.

It says "I understand your new California Ocean has now been handed over" so my assumption is they are sending out the blankets as the vans are being delivered to the dealer.

My heart rate is going to start to rocket everytime the Postie rings the bell now....

Haha, I read this and laughed. Mite explain why most of us haven’t revived a blanket. It’s just as rare as the vehicle itself.

Thanks for the info, that’s going to save my heart rate from rocketing

I’ve got so excited about the blanket I want one more than a the Coast I’ve ordered. I might email the dealer tomorrow, cancel the vehicle but ask if I can still have a blanket !

Why did you stop using it? I find it reassuring

The Polestar 2 version requires an over-generous steering input at regular intervals to silence the “are you paying attention” audible warning. More relaxing to just steer.

We just got our blanket after receiving our coast at the beginning of March. Completely random.

No such pain with the California

Finally the build date for my July 30 2021 order has dropped in the system: 49 !!
Still a long wait!
Breeze is saying that these might change and will probably come forward, but I'm not confident we'll have the van for the summer.
On order: Ocean 150 with sports pack

Week 49 Build date?

 

[bob_summers]

Very strange this. Just more profit for VW Espana? However the price for both looks reasonable?
As Hedley Wright says, Side Assist is included on U.K. Oceans. It’s £492 to add Active Lane Assist to an Ocean.
Or it is £1434 to have both on a U.K. Beach - so more expensive than Spain?

I just had a mess with the UK and ES configurators (all prices in EUR otherwise my head will melt)

Base price Ocean UK €83,500, ES €77,400

BUT the ES model is missing the following, from what I can see:
17" Aracaju (in ES it comes with 16" steels)
ACC, Lane, Rear Camera, Discover Media, Digi Cockpit

Speccing all those in comes to... €84,800 - not a million miles off.

In ES the options are much more expensive. Aracajus are, unbelievably, €2450. Metallic paint €1145. ISTR the warranty extension was ridiculous too.

FInally, off the top of my head the discount was €6,000 in April 21 when I paid the deposit. Not sure how that compares or if they even offer a discount now.

Dear VW,

Make it make sense!

Surely week 49 is a typo or late April Fools?

My first thought was typo as well, hoping for @markusschork that it is!

Ordered our Coast on the 30th November last year, just been informed it’s built and on its way to the port!

AutoeBid have just emailed to say our Coast ordered a day later (1st October) is also built and in transit. Perhaps they will be travelling together……

1 October isn't a day later than 30 November...its 2 months earlier!

Good point - I’m not going to take the rest of the day off……….

That’s crazy!! I ordered at the start of September 2021 and my build week is 27

I believe this might be missed red by the dealer. Reserves build week is 19 and marcusschork 49. Looks similar numbers in small writing. 30 weeks is huge difference between 2 very similar orders.

 

[Themadwife]

Yay ! Just had call to say our Coast has left the factory and should be at the dealers in UK, in mid May.

Ordered mid August 2021

 

[StevoC]

Received great news from our Irish sales rep today. Our ocean ordered June 2021 has left the factory today. If it makes the ship on the 3rd may we will have 6 days from the if not it will leave on the 11th May.
Can't wait now to start the Summer exploring.

Lots of good news on here ! Things seem to be moving again . Mines been at the dealers over a week while it waits transport inspection and PDI . So close …. And so frustrating !!
