Anyone know how often delivery is outside of this average? Do some people get their car in 2 weeks and others in 6? Or is it pretty close to 4 weeks every time?

I find time estimates really frustrating. I wish VW could say "your car is being built on xx day and will be delivered on xx". Oh well, the waiting and not really knowing is all part of the fun.


When I got my car and was tracking it, someone who was on the same build week had their car in the dealers 10 days from the build week start. I think it just hit the train and ship at the perfect time and it seems like an exception but it can happen.
