Yep discussed this on many chats seems not right they simply build lower specs due to less semiconductors, but I'm guessing this comes down to more low end specs mean more money to them yet that's a long time to wait Mrbiggles
If it helps, this is what happened in my case:
- I ordered on 2nd of June via Leasing Options, as a custom order, not part of any pre-ordered batch
- was originally told October delivery
- confirmed build week of 36
- in week 38 I found out that it did not happen
- in week 42 was told car is expected at the dealer in December
- in week 43 (this week) I was told its actually at the UK port
- hours later I got a call that its at the dealer and its time to sign papers
- looking for delivery in November
An overall bit confusing process, but pretty much on time.
I have to say that Leasing Options and Cupra UK did their best to keep me informed, and were very pleasant. It's just a shame that Cupra UK no longer provides updates via chat. It just shows how chaotic ordering a new car is these days.
How've you found that out lol
