Maybe one of those items has no on hand availability date yet but as I said before, you won't get a "build date confirmed" until 4 weeks before the planned build date.
And you won't get the planned build slot until every part is predictred as available and there is a slot on the production line.
This is how Just in Time (JIT) manufacturing works. Its a concept created by Toyota originally but one used since then by anyone doing manufacturing of anything - like my employer...
Volkswagen works more on a When We Get Round To It (WWGRTI) system which can be anything from a few weeks if you order through the fleet department to 12 months plus if you’re coughing up your own cash through retail.
