Yes, their e-mails do seem to be inconsistent. two days after our Dealer advised of the Status 20 build date we got the 'Sorry it's delayed' e-mail from VW - so not entirely joined up.
This is a screenshot of the MY23 status.

I'm guessing that the e-mail suggests that there is now a chassis sitting on the line at the factory in anticipation of the post-closedown to actually start the build. So, I'm thinking end of Aug build and delivery sometime end of Sept, assuming no shortage of parts.
The new canvas seems to not be ready until wk39 though, so not really sure on that. One that fits well and doesn't rust seems to be the best hope..
Hoping you get some better, or at least more detailed news, on yours soon. A May build really ought to have progressed by now. Thought that I saw someone had theirs turn up out of the blue the other day, so you never know for sure ...
