Anyone else waiting on an XC60?

It’s petrol. Limited information has been given from the dealer to be honest and I don’t think they have helped in the process. A couple of weeks after my initial order, it was apparently cancelled and resubmitted by the dealer without them telling me. The dealer then authorised Volvo building a car without all of the extras I had ordered and said I could either have that car or the dealer would have it as they could sell it. So I suspect they then submitted a further new order and, despite them assuring me to the contrary, I have moved to the back of a long queue.

Ordered mine at the beginning of June. Was told end of September/beginning of October. Now have been told my build is on 3rd September with expected delivery 9-19th September. So earlier than I was told

Hi all, Placed my order for a XC60 R-Design Pro B5 (Mild) at the end of June. Dealer was trying to get order delivered for new reg at the start of sept. But that has slipped to near the end. What with the shutdown of Volvo's plant in Torslanda this week due to the chip shortage!

When i ordered my car i WAS unable to order BLIS or 360 Cam, but everything else was good to go.

Sorry to deliver bad news.

I had an update today. Delivery has slipped back 3 weeks. If that ends up being correct it will be exactly 5 months from order to delivery. However 6 weeks is a long time at the moment and anything could happen!

Think i will put a call in to my dealer tomorrow to see what they are showing, Its a shame that Volvo dont have a customer facing portal to check on the status of your order.

Hopefully the shutdown is only one week. The chip shortage doesn’t appear to be getting any better at the moment. I’ve got a car charger on order since June and that’s just been pushed back 4 weeks due to the shortage too!

Ordered mine in April, got it in July, I’d originally ordered it with Driver Awareness pack as I wanted adaptive cruise and pilot assist. This also came with blis and rear collision alert. I was informed about the chip shortage and had a choice to keep the car per the order and wait or remove the blis and rear collision (which I didn’t want) and get it sooner. The guys at Volvo Tonbridge sorted it and I received it mid July. 22my B5P AWD R-Design

I thought it sounded a bit too good to be true! Only spoke to the dealer over the weekend so surprised he didn't know about the closure. Oh well, I guess it will add another week or so on.

Have you managed to add the camera now? I had the same problem but managed to add the camera later on.
