ive just checked on my options in the app and it’s saying power operated tailgate ... wonder if that’s a glitch or if it’s been fitted ? Everything else looks accurate

Nope, FA like that, I normally email my dealer when I see people on here have had updates from their dealers

Apparently the dealer has to add you to the system that sends out the automated update e-mails, though judging by what I've read they tend not to unless you ask them specifically.

It happens. There people with LEs built the week after mine who have taken delivery of their car but mine isn’t due for collection until jan. I don’t get why their cars skipped the queue, but it’s happened.

Got this email today. Only ordered about 3 weeks ago. Surely it’s not being built now?

As Bruce Willis would say "welcome to the party pal". Generic email to all / most people who ordered apparently.

Interesting that if you look through all the cars for sale the are all either Launch or Frankenstein builds
 
I believe mine will go to Grimsby.
Mediterranean Highway is still in Emden, with no updates, but a smaller vehicle transporter, EMS Highway also arrived there later yesterday from Halmstad, Sweden, which is scheduled to arrive in Grimsby tomorrow afternoon.

The email we all got just said Preparation, this one says in build. Only way to find out is call the dealer :shrug:

That's because those are the only cars that have arrived so far? I don't think there's been a single car that's arrived which is a customer order.

May be the model version you have ordered. Suspect Standard and Carbon build will be on top of the queue for builds. Not unless, factory is building orders on alphabetic order of the dealership.
ps. Its a true "Toya Wilcox".

grit laden ... lol :tearsofjoy:
I’ve managed to get every car I’ve owned through winters so I’m sure this one will manage too ;)

so does the saloon vorsprung get a powered ‘boot’ or is it just the sportback which gets a powered tailgate ?

I can’t see any videos on line of a vorsprung S3 saloon with a powered boot so just wondering now

Seemingly if you don't have a VIN the car isn't built. So if you've been given a vin there's a chance it's at the port of exit and waiting on a ship.

I think all the saloons have a 'powered boot' and all that this means is that you can open it via the key, and there's a boot open button in the door (the actual boot is still spring loaded and has to be closed manually). I've heard that there is also a foot sensor but can't confirm this.

There's no Vorsprung videos online as the model is designated only to the UK market...?

Just had an email from dealer to say it’s still at week 5. Based on this it’s looking like an 8month wait same as my current 8V. Was a nice touch to get a merry Christmas etc with the update.
