I've just cancelled my order. V2 was apparently built oct'22 but still in production with no idea when it may arrive.

Don't blame you! I would have cancelled a long long time ago, but it's a company car order unfortunately, so kind of locked in.

My VZ2 was apparently built in mid January. The 'estimated' stock date has just been moved back to the end of March! Will be almost a 2 year wait for me at this r

Gutted for you. Still no change to my date, I will chase again this week.

I sent an e mail yesterday to the supplier on where in the process my car is. They have stated it is built just awaiting shipping, which is 4/5 weeks away and will be shipped to Grimsby. Nearly there👍

Nice one! I wonder if mine will be on the same ship! I'll follow-up now and see. Cheers.

2 years is a crazy wait time - what makes me nervous is will the wait be worth it, with all the known problems on the Formentor - it might end up back in the garage.

It's been a frustrating wait. I'm staying positive that mine will be fault/glitch free when it finally arrives. I'll start believing it might actually arrive when it gets to the UK.

I finally picked up my Formentor today at the Cupra dealer. Had to drive 150 km's back home, so really had a chance to give it a proper test. Loved it!

Also, to my surprise, when i put the car in reverse, the 360 camera popped up. When i ordered, they mentioned that they removed it from all Formentors because of even longer production delays. Not sure why there's one included, but i'm not complaining! :D

The infotainment system felt OK, definitely not as bad as some people claim it to be. That could change in the upcoming days/weeks though :LOL: , so i'll update here when i know more.

Also, pretty scary stuff, but i ordered the car and joined this forum on the 4th of March 2022 and picked up my car on the exact same date, 1 year later. Meant to be!

For everyone still waiting, hold on, it's definitely worth it! (y)

Mine was finally delivered a couple of days ago...!
VZ2 2.0TSI and I love it ;)

I was really worried about software bugs and the first thing I was told is to NOT automatically update the system despite pop-ups warning me that there is one available.

I'm aware that the latest OTA update introduces problems such as sudden main display shutdowns and general instability, and in fact, with the version installed on delivery, I didn't detect any problems (fingers crossed).

Very nice M4st3r. Sorry to say but it takes a while for the infortainment to start acting up so it could happen to you at some point. Mine rebooted today for the first time since I collected it almost 2 months ago when I drove off after work. I'd had no issues with it till now but I've read what others experience just to prepare myself for what's coming.

I've just had an update. Ordered v2 September 22. Build week 43 which was end of October and has been stuck in production ever since waiting for semi conductors. No extras on car just standard v2.
Dealer has said it's still in production.
Crazy when other people with build weeks after mine have had theirs transported to the UK.
There's no sense how they are being released from the factory
Ordered the V1 hybrid (standard)around same time just had an update that its not got a confirmed build date. Was told at time of ordering it would be ready in "summer" glad I still enjoy current car 😆
