Good to hear! The final wait is the most exciting!! We’re doing the same, getting prepped with needed accessories ready for Delivery-Day. Pls post pics when it finally arrives - always good to see a new van
Spoke to the dealer today and our estimated build month of January has now been confirmed to build week 4.....week commencing the 24th January.

Wow that’s good for a September order.
Well, as he said: this is an already ordered california from, for example someone who canceled (there are some who do this
). With such a 'takeover' of an order, if the vehicle does not yet 'exist' (only on an order form passed on to the importer/head office but certainly not yet in the planning in the factory), you can still change almost everything, but not things like the model version (beach/coast/ocean) and engine version. After the delivery of ours (ordered August 2020 and delivered April 2021) in the wrong colour we were also presented such a vehicle: it was a California ordered by the dealer and not yet made and could be delivered about four months later but this did not work for some reason. We had to order again -April 2021- and are still waiting and meanwhile no longer have a proposed construction date; all data disappeared.
I'm always happy for the person in question who got a confirmed building date, delivery date or certainly the delivery off his/her cali but would like to know when ours is coming As Calibusje said, it was an order already on the system which I managed to get hold of. I rang around many dealers to see if anyone had a canceled order and eventually found one, I was just lucky. It is a high spec 4motion but was what we were after anyway.
congratulations on your order and good for you that you have a relatively short delivery time this way. I can imagine you are looking forward to it! Now buy your extra stuff wisely
They won’t tell you anything about your order in the online chat in my experience, I was referred back to the dealer, whom in most cases has the most up to date information anyway; as received from Germany.
Gorgeous ! You’l love the 4Motion, to get of the beaten track, it’s the way to go. I took the 4MO with the diff block. Have not needed the diff block yet, but the 4MO in itself is a joy to get close to lake sides etc.
True, but believe all UK stevedores are part of the same union.
They may well belong to Unite, however Unite has a beef about certain port employers - and from what I see on the Unite website these include Forth Ports, PD Ports and Peel Ports. Sheerness is operated by Peel Ports. Port of Tyne doesn‘t appear to be involved in the Unite action.
In looking at the factory production info we had in November, I see that the receiving port is nominated at that point (Port of Tyne in our case). I don’t know if VW will alter this if the nominated port is closed - certainly would hope so. This can have a knock-on impact across all deliveries of course. So like you @Ch1pbutty I hope the dispute is solved quickly.
That's great @Irelandcali where are you based, im in limerick, what colour etc did you order hopefully meet you on the irish roads this year?
We're in Dublin - cherry red with the privacy glass - I would have loved a 2 tone but couldn't bring myself to pay €3.5k for it - finances were already streched! Plenty of planning going on now for holidays/weekends in Ireland this year.
Nice one Lance! Don't think I've seen those wheels before...
17" Aracaju's. They come as standard on the Coast/Ocean Edition
Fantastic, Well wear, looks great, I think we are getting those wheels too, are you member of IMCC it will help reduce insurance costs. where are you planning your first trip? I hope you don't mind me asking but did the new VRT rate increase the final price by much. i reckon its going to be another 4% on top of our updated quote in July,
