I am still waiting for an update but no production date yet for my cupra leon ehybrid. I ordered in september. However, my dealer told me Cupra is prioritized and it was even possible Seat Leon ehybrid for Belgium, not only gets delayed but gets cancelled. He will update me within 2 weeks.
I think the same. If you have bad luck, your Seat will be arriving in february 2023 or so, but if you count for a Cupra: I've ordered in september. It is now 8 months without any production date. Even if they call me today that car is in production, it's only here in July. That is 10 months. 10 months from today is march 2023.
I would imagine it’s probably the same case for the cupra model as I’m guessing they’re made in the same factory.
I really expected this to happend tbh..
If the light bar is gone alongside the dynamic indicators it is a huge reason for me to cancel tbh, it’s my favorite design element of the car..
I do not think they will remove the infinite light. As I understand, it is the chip for the dynamic lights that's not going to be installed, but the rest of the lights will stay the same.
The light bar does do some animated/dynamic flashing when you lock/unlock the car though so I suppose it requires a chip as well. Following the same logic, wouldn’t that be removed as well?
Yes the welcoming ceremony is also removed.
Not official. On a dutch forum somebody told their dealer has said dynamic indicators + welcoming ceremony. If the welcoming ceremony is not affected, it's not that big of a deal for me. If that's affected, it's a big deal.
its one of the reasons I chose the car (from Mk3.5 FR to Mk 4 FR) luckily standard fit to get the coast to coast lighting (plus ceremony and dynamic) which gives great visibility.
seat cannot get hold of wiring lions because of conflict in ukraine 
After so many people got an update from their dealers not to expect their car in 2023, i think we can assume that this will be the case for all of us.. And as if that wasn’t enough, we also lose dynamic indicators. Great..I had a reply from dealer today saying anyone who has a seat Leon on order won’t be expecting it this year
All companies are ordering from other countries. But if you read Diess his speech, they prioritize maken and models with higher profit. Q3 and Cupra Formentor are prioritized over Octavia, Leon and Golf. Cupra Leon is prioritized over Seat Leon...After so many people got an update from their dealers not to expect their car in 2023, i think we can assume that this will be the case for all of us..

I understand that they cannot get wire harnesses from Ukraine, but they could have bought it from other countries. I read that they were relying on Ukraine because it was much cheaper compared to anywhere else, but is it really worth it for SEAT to just delay orders by that much? The amount of orders that will be cancelled could probably negatively affect their revenue much more than just buying wire harnesses from other countries. Right?
While this strategy makes sense, the cheaper models are usually the ones that are ordered in much higher volumes. By screwing so many customers over with these huge delays, many orders will definitely be cancelled and they will have a big hit on their revenue. They should have tried to find more efficient solutions to tackle the current situation imo..
As far as I know, this strategy is only for PHEV. I had to be more specific in my original post.
