It’s all petty stuff in the grand scheme of things, wishing you all the best, I’ve got a long way to go after only putting my factory order in 2 weeks ago haha!
It is and I’ve got three years to enjoy the real good stuff.

I only ordered this two weeks ago as I cancelled my factory order because it wasn’t going to be delivered until jan/feb time so found this 245 in stock in Somerset and went for it.

finally received my formentor ehybrid today!

I say today,it arrived at 7 pm in the dark so I couldn’t check it over properly,the interior smelt of cigarette smoke and the delivery driver had opened my complimentary cupra usb packet,took the adaptor out (after ripping the box) and left it in the USB port for me to find.

So not a good start but the car is beautiful and I’m looking forwards to actually having a good look at it and giving it a proper clean tomorrow.

it’s happily having its first charge at the minute.
Fantastic you’ve got your car, I got mine on Tuesday a PHEV as well but a 204, absolutely loving it. I’d be fuming though if mine had arrived like that, especially the cigarette smell!!!! I’d put a complaint in.

I agree: insist they pay for a professional interior detail.

Aquarius Ace is just leaving Barcelona, heading for Setubal in Portugal. Last time she did this the next destination was the UK!

I dont know i ask my lease company for updates.

Cheers. I’m buying through griffintaxfree.co.uk who’ve been very good to me in the past. I’m not going to hassle them. It’ll be a nice surprise when I get their next email.

Exciting times the car is at the dealership.
Hoping mine will be here soon then since ours were both built on same week and given Status 30 at same time, although my dealer said would be nearer end of November for delivery.

Hi all,

Collected a CUPRA FORMENTOR V2 1.5 DSG on Friday. However last night I encountered a load of issues. Pulled up and the dash become a Christmas tree. Auto hold, Traction, Crash Assists all said not working. The engine management light came on and the engine started to make a rattle. Cupra picked the car up and brought it to my house. It's going to be collected tomorrow, just waiting a for a courtesy.

What a 48hr stretch !

That doesn’t sound good. That’s the same model I’m waiting on as well. Not a good start to a brand new car.

So I ordered on the 2nd June through Nationwide Vehicle Contracts (I'm sure you have seen many of my posts moaning about lack of updates).

I finally had some good news today, hopefully. Confirmed build week 47!

From experience, has anyone had a confirmed build week gone back to status 00? I had a few provisional weeks that fell flat, but now its confirmed I am hoping its set in stone?

I ordered in May and was given confirmed week 37 (mid-Sept). Production commenced on time in week 37 but the car couldn't be finished and is still awaiting semiconductors as of this week (week 44). Once my build week was confirmed it was pretty much locked in to be honest. From all of the posts on here / facebook group and from discussions with my leasing company I'm hearing right now it's about 7-8 week lead time from confirmed build week to having the car at the port ready to ship. The latest update from my leasing company is the car will arrive end of November.

Hopefully I will hear something soon as I ordered a day before you! :happy: I did contact Leasing Options last week and still had no build date

If it helps, I had no updates last week, but I reached out this afternoon and had the good news. Maybe give them a call?
