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.
Same order date, same build week and originally advised that it was built awaiting parts but no news since

I also ordered in May but with a build week of 32. It was ‘waiting for chips’ for 10 weeks but a couple of weeks ago it was finally built. Hopefully not too long for you now.

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 !
How did you get on with getting your car picked up and a courtesy car? Have they diagnosed the issue yet?

Aquarius Ace, car transport ship due in to Sheerness on 6th Nov. Think a few deliveries will be on this
Great news! Grand Orion is also on it's way. It's an even bigger ship, and is currently en route to Bristol, direct from Barcelona.

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?
I just keep getting stonewalled cannot believe the reluctance for Seat/Cupra to give out information, do they think going quiet will give people that warm fuzzy feeling you normally get when buying a brand new car?

Just spoke to SEAT CUSTOMER SERVICE , car is built waiting to be allocated a ship. This has been like this for 3 weeks on Thursday, however it will not be on the ship leaving today.
Just curious if you received your behicle as my status is currently built waiting for ship and i don't want it to be waiting for 3 weeks!!!

Have you spoken with your lease company to find out who the supplying dealer is?

My lease company have been rubbish with updates, but I called the fleet department of the supplying dealership, which is when I found out the car had a confirmed build week. Maybe see if you can find out that info?

well I'm hoping my black V2 190 DSG is on one of those ships. Options included beats and virtual tailgate
I ordered on 10th Aug at which point dealer advised a possible February delivery (that was fine current car will be 3yo by then). Got hold of the SLI # and was told by cupra a build week of 39 so should have been built by October (woohoo!), but when I checked back in mid October cupra claimed tracking system is down (via FB messenger chat), so was prepared for an actual Feb delivery. Dealer was in touch two weeks ago to say yes due November! I may ask cupra again just to see if they can confirm

Hopefully it is an early Christmas present mate.

Thanks @irfy8 I had a look on the ship tracker, but couldn't see any that that looked to be U.K. bound, and didn’t think to look as far Livorno as thought it would be too far away for it to make it to Barcelona by Monday, but if it leaves later today and Barcelona is it’s next stop, I suppose it could be there some time on Monday.

Fingers crossed that’s the one then. Just looked at its schedule and it would look to arrive in Tyne which would make sense as it is probably the closest port to me.
