    Ordered a 1.5 DSG Style on 11 March 2020. Optional Extras: Soul Grey interior, Winter Pack, Rear Camera and Head-up Display.

    At that point was told it was showing build week 17 (w/b 20 April) but of course, since then, the factory has had a closure and now reopened.

    The app has said 'build week confirmed' since the start of April, but the dealer is unable to confirm the actual build week at the moment.

    Waiting patiently.....

    The waiting is the worst

    Also found out about the power folding mirrors and apparently the uk ones don't have them but the 2021 model will have it. Sucks

    Phoned the dealer who said his system still says build week 17. The system is obviously not updating. Not very satisfactory.

    VW released a new brochure/price list on 25th June, which I assume is the MY21 update since Audi usually changes model year in mid-May (wk20) and presume VW does the same. Power folding mirrors are now standard on the Style and optional on the Life and R-Line (as an option it comes with Side Assist). No doubt this year is anything but usual but as they restart production it will probably be with the new MY spec.

    The dealer has made enquiries with VW UK about the above

    It was originally scheduled for build week 16 but they now say the build should complete by the end of July. Factory closure for Covid etc. We’ll see....

    I wonder what the explanation for that delay could be, IMZee?

    No idea, every time I've asked they said due to the virus there haven't been as many ships leaving etc.

    I've sent an email asking for an eta as I bought the car due to the fact it had a short wait time, this has now been blown out the water now haha. E.g. if it hits the UK port on Monday, looking at the tiguan forums, they say it'll take another 2 weeks until i'll be able to collect!
