Just done some order stalking after checking my order out. An order for a Passat highline going to my dealership group , 40 digits after my order is in "confirmed build week" status, and according to the frequently asked questions within this status, the "build week confirmed" status is generally applied 4 weeks before the actual build takes place (to allow VW to ensure they have all required parts for your "bespoke" order). By that info, if the earliest order placers amongst us get a build week confirmation in week 23, it'll be week 27 before build commences, probably week 30 by the time it is in the UK/at the dealership for pick-up (W/C 22 July). Perhaps due to the wait already (held status) GTD/GTI orders won't take 4 weeks to get built after status change.
