Can anyone who ordered and received their Alltrack tell me what kind of status updates to expect during the process?
I have only ever ordered one car in the past and it was a MINI. That ordering experience was wonderful because you could log into a portal and check the status of your car at any time. It would tell you when it had begun production, when it was in the paint shop, finished, at the dock awaiting transport, loaded on a boat, when it arrived at it's final port, and when it left port headed to the dealer.
VW unfortunately doesn't offer that so I will have to bug my dealer, but what I'm curious about is how much will he be able to tell me? Are there "in production", "production completed", "awaiting transport", etc. stages that he'll be able to track and if so what are those stages if anyone knows. I'd like to know something is happening, but at the same time, if VW gives them little info, I also don't want to be a complete pest calling him constantly.
I was on the MINI portal daily seeing what was happening and when they told me which ship it had been loaded on, I was even able to track the ship as it crossed the Atlantic. It made the waiting process almost enjoyable. Right now, with VW, it almost feels like I haven't ordered a car apart from the fact that a charge for the deposit will show up on my credit car bill this month.
Thanks in advance for any insight you guys can offer.
