T6.1 new order delays

Hi everyone.
Back in July, 2021 I ordered a new 6.1 from a VW van centre.
I was initially told that it would be May 2022 but then it got brought forward to December 2021 or January 2022. This never happened.
I was told that it was down for production in week 10 which came and went then told week 12 which is this week. Last I heard that all the production plants are on a temporary shutdown.
Is anyone able to clarify things regarding production as my supplier seems unable to assist me.
Thanks.
 
A new variation of this theme possibly. My van has been at the van centre for a while, it's now paid for & insured but they are struggling to tax it.

Don't tell me - the DVLA have shut down for a few weeks because they're having trouble sourcing their "Arse" and "Elbow" identifiers from the Ukraine(?)

The factory closes at end of play tomorrow for a minimum of two weeks. The wiring looms are made in the Ukraine…..
 
I can’t believe how lucky I’ve been. I had a call from Listers Van Center yesterday to tell me that my van has left the factory and is waiting at the port to be put on a ship. I’m probably going to have one of the last vans out of Germany for a while.
I’ve only been waiting since early September 2021.
It’s a Highline LWB 150 DSG, indium grey, from swivel seats, uprated alternator & battery, tailgate with heated window and wash/wipe, heated washers, power latching rear and side, discover media, LED headlights, rear camera.

Don’t get any closer than that. Feel really sorry for those that had a build date that has now gone tits!

Very lucky by the sounds of things. I’ve had my van on order from Listers since Feb 21.
 
You guys who have had your vans delivered are very lucky indeed.
This is a quote from the BBC website this morning...

Meanwhile, German carmaker Audi has warned that the war in Ukraine will cause "tremendous interference" to supply chains.
"We will see tremendous interference with all the supply chains, not just the chip business, but any supply chains internationally," said Audi executive Hildegard Wortmann.
 
I'm not hassling the dealership too much, tho I did chase yesterday and the SE sounds very fed up. It must be soul destoying to not have any stock when you can sell anything you can get your hands on and then some.

Anyone else had a dealership struggle to register a van? A quick google says it does happen occasionally.

My issues are the tracker installation and the insurance is running (needs to be fitted within 14 days), so not quite sure what to do without a firm date for collection.

EDIT: Asked the insurance agents for advice, they have cancelled the policy for now. Whoever suggested Comfort for insurance, thank you. Terrific service.

I also have a van on order with Listers from August.

Is it true about dealer allocation ,that they only have a certain amount per month ? Are anyones dealers informing them of that their allocation is ( how many are in-front of them in allocation) ?
 
It's true dealerships have different allocations, depends on sales and their targets, etc. How it's allocated I've never discovered.

What build week we're you given? My van is virtually the same spec and has been stuck at status 20 since week 8!
