Plant Oxford is standing down five days of production - Monday 21 February to Friday 25 February inclusive, for all shifts.
Just when I thought things were getting better they shut down on the week that my car is supposed to be built
Hope I'm not missing any features!
The camera based cruise control might also be missing but it is rather mediocre.
I rather they pause production than randomly take away features. I am ordering a Taycan after summer. Don't need extra headaches.
Thats freaking annoying. This feature gone that feature gone. Its funny, Mercedes can’t even allow people to order 2022 C class. Still can build 2021. Haha.The heated steering wheel option is going apparently due to the chip shortage.
i wouldn't have been allowed to change cars if my wife knew that.The heated steering wheel option is going apparently due to the chip shortage.
I hope they had enough inventory to finish off the 2022 builds (mine's in transit to dealer)! Otherwise I may just request my deposit back if this and the rear parking sensors are pulled like others have mentioned...The heated steering wheel option is going apparently due to the chip shortage.

I wouldn’t be too confident. The pulled the parking sensors and the radios out of cars that had them listed on their specs. My car is still waiting production and says it has a heated steering wheel.My car is getting built on the 7th March and still has the heated wheel so it’s probably just new orders that are affected.

That's exactly what I was meaning. My build sheet shows both, but that doesn't mean I'm guaranteed those features from what I've been seeing. I've got these things, along with a few others, on a checklist for when the car comes in...I wouldn’t be too confident.

How do you know they are planning on not adding the heated wheel?

We're still hoping to learn the source of this disappointing information.How do you know they are planning on not adding the heated wheel?

I really hope this isn't true for the US, or at least for Iconic trim.My dealer in the UK were informed by Mini that due to component shortages the heated wheel option would be suspended.
