2019 lead times

[Steve_2019]

I've been told that mine and many others are being held before being shipped to the UK so it's likely mine was on the prestige ace and that is being held in emden. The dealer said that a delay until November is likely.

Did he say why they are been held for?

Week 36 build week for me. Last info from the dealer was it was waiting at Port Elizabeth on the 9th September. Since then they have been very elusive not answering emails or calls so I am taking that as bad news!

Ordered at the end of March so hopefully I'll get some kind of update soon.

Just received my Stage 5B In transit shipping notification this morning. What does this mean?. Does this mean it’s been assigned a ship to the UK.

Thanks for that. Hopefully not too long now till it’s on a ship to the UK. Is the 5C Notification received once it is on a ship to the UK?.

I think mine was sitting at Emden for a week before it left for the UK, it can be quicker than that though (24-48 hours) based on what people have said on here. I personally never received the 5C notification. Mine was still stuck at 'In Transit' when I was driving the car away. Your dealer will have the most up-to-date information.

Hopefully not too long then. My salesman is back in work on Tuesday so hopefully will find out more then.

Dealer update... Week 36 build due into Germany next week which means delivery early November. So maybe my car was not on Prestige Ace

Exciting times mate! Getting mine tomorrow.. doubt I'll sleep tonight

I just ordered mine last week! I’ve got the app and it’s currently sitting at stage 2. Any idea how long until it moves to stage 3!

[Sport172]

Got my stage 5C this morning. My car is on the Weser Highway which is currently just off Grimsby. [emoji3]

Same, so I'm hoping mine is also on the Weser Highway. However I keep missing my dealer!

I am assuming the tracker is supposed to show the below

5 a - Left the factory (port elizabeth)
5 b - in transit (shipping from port elizabeth to Emden)
5 c - near the UK (shipping from Emden to UK)

However in reality, mine sat in 5A for over a month then spent 4 days in 5B and went straight to 5C. Oh well almost there now

Mine sat in this stage for about 1 month from June to July.

But I think I was quite unlucky as I ordered at the end of March and didn't even get the stage 2 text until mid June.
