Hi, oh yes.. I can give you my perspective and theory. I too ordered a CS at the beginning of December.
Oryx white with every option available ticked except HUD and leather. I chose the Estoril wheels.
Mine did not enter build until 20th April. It was radio silence pretty much up to this point. 4 and a half months before anything happened… I still do not have mine, likely early June…
However, what was happening was the build and supply to customers of ED50’s. You’ll see plenty of action in the other threads of folks receiving their ED50’s already. Given that the order books didn’t open for another 4 weeks after I placed my order, what I firmly believe VW have done is deprioritise any CS orders in favour of using the same parts required to enable the ED50 builds. VW wanted these cars out asap to make a big song and dance you see…
I have directly called this out to VW who have flat denied it of course, and given the same feedback to my dealer. I don’t see any other reason mine would just sit in order accepted stage for so long before anything happened. All the while a significant number of ED50’s were produced and supplied despite ordering after me.
The dealer said it was due to a shortage of parts for the performance pack. Funny how there were no such shortages for the Perf pack ED50’s… I know the suspension components are different but they share the same exhaust etc.
A poor deal from VW in my view. They should prioritise based on order date, not publicity…
