Got given the same bw but mine was ordered on feb 2022Got an update on ours, too.
Ordered Nov. 2021, a few different dates, now BW03 2023. Absolutely ridiculous, to order a car in 2021 and receive it in 2023.
Yep feel your pain. Not really expecting it this year tbh. Would have cancelled long ago if the deal wasnt so good.Got an update on ours, too.

Is there a customers complaint number that one can call?
I'll be real, and i might come off a bit like a Karen now, but we ordered a car in Nov 2021, with a quoted delivery time (then) at 6 months. We ordered a wall charger and EV tariff accordingly. We're now wasting money on an EV tariff with nothing to charge, and by the time we eventually get the car (god knows when), that EV tariff either might not be available anymore, or has increased to a rate where it becomes painful to charge even at night. On top of that, we're continuing to burn petrol for a almost a full year after the original quoted delivery date, which is another thousand+ pounds in total.
As i said, call me Karen, but i don't think it's quite right for them to expect us to foot those bills, and then hand us a car with 20 miles worth of petrol and an empty HV battery and be happy with the experience. I don't want the car for free, or £10.000 off the list price - but some kind of compensation/good will gesture i actually would expect by now.
Yes it is a lot of work but if you call around dealers they might have a car in stock, or a car that they've ordered that is being delivered soon. I was able to find a few deals on incoming i30N's and Megane RS's, but you will be paying more than the price agreement you have with VW.As an alternative to waiting, you could try searching sites such as Auto Trader and use the search filters on that site to source new unregistered or pre registered Golf plug in hybrid‘s in stock at VW dealers. There are usually a few for sale and you’d avoid the long wait. However, the downsides are that you wouldn’t be able to choose colour or spec, and the price may be higher than the price you agreed on your deal. Alternatively, you could consider other makes and models of car to see if wait times are any shorter or if other (non-VW) brands have a decent selection of in-stock vehicles.

One thing for sure, if you get an ID order it now so you'll have it by 2025Assuming I keep my GTE (that I bought in October 2021) for three years when do you think I should put an order in for it’s replacement ?
I might go all electric next time and treat myself to a secondhand Mazda MX5 as a second vehicle for longer journeys.
Honestly dont think thats a reasonable request.
You were provided with an estimated delivery time. This is never set in stone and can change especially when there has been supply chain issues and a war. You really should read your T&Cs in the contract.
I think you should be content that VW won't have increased the price of your vehicle or reduced any discounts.
The wall charger, EV tariff and using more fuel is entirely your choice and could have been avoided by waiting until receiving confirmation that the vehicle was on its way to the UK and therefore, it is completely and utterly unreasonable for VW to give any compensation or goodwill.
