Ugh...my GTS reached the freeze date a couple days ago with 'scheduled for production' point in 2 weeks just went to TBD across the board. So close but yet so far.

 

[MarkSCville]

I am in the same boat as "jcg". My freeze date was the 29th and it went to TBD last week.. . Fingers crossed it will come back soon...

Factories continue to stop start restart. Only 911s and 981s seem unaffected with parts and harness shortages.

I noticed VW also canned their id.5 launch due to production shortages.

My car was supposed to be delivered 5/27, got pushed to 6/24 — so a month delay. TYD seems to be stuck on “Start Production” on 3/11 but never completed that milestone. End Production is at 4/15.

Curious if this is just TYD being out of date or production issues at Porsche. Talked to the dealer 2 weeks ago, but they weren’t being helpful at all.

I'm now getting a 7/1 delivery. Didn't have TYD setup until a week ago, but the dealer had told me May/June for delivery previously, so this would be pushing it back by more or less that same month delay.

Hello everyone, I am glad I found this forum. I ordered my Porsche Sport Tourismo in February and the dealer reserved a production slot for week 11, so 3/14 till 3/18. When I contacted him two weeks ago, he said that he has no information at all. Not from the importer in the Netherland, nor from Porsche AG. They also don’t get production numbers. Moreover the search through trackyourdream doesn’t work in the Netherlands, so even if I had a number I couldn’t track the production like you do in UK and US. I fully understand the seriousness of the underlying reason, but what a poor communication from Porsche AG to my dealer and to me as a costumer. Wish I hadn’t trade in my Macan…

Hi Bennie,

Which ST version?

 

[Seacow]

I’m in a similar position - have ST on order was due build March Dealer April - allI know is that its delayed - seems little info. As all said appreciate the reasons - keen to know though if the place in queue remains (whatever that delay is!) or whether other priorities come into play. Wondering whether to buy something else for a bit - would be easier if knew it was a month delay or 12 month delay!

Hi Bennie,

Which ST version?

Hi Roger, the rear wheel drive version. I was impressed by the purity when I drove it. And a ST for the practicality.

 

[frietzak]

I have a ST RWD order which was planned for production in march but will now be produced in may. So a 2 months delay.

Hi Frietzak (mooie naam, hier heet het ook gewoon friet en zéker geen patat zoals boven de rivieren) good to hear that you at least have an indication about the delivery date. Could the dealer give you this indication of delivery? Mine couldn’t, so today I mailed Porsche Netherlands. Just like Seacowe wrote above, it ought to be possible to give information about the queue that has occured and your position in this queue. Indigestible for a brand like Porsche, I wrote them. I’ll keep you informed about their answer.

Mine was first planned to be delivered well before the carnavalsvakantie. Then just before but to close to take it on holiday, then March 8th. They confirmed it came out of the factory just before shut down and told my I was very lucky. The week afterwards got a call to say it didn’t come out. And now it is supposed to come out next Friday. I am being carefully optimistic. But I won’t believe it until i actually see it at the dealer. Shame they can’t get us better feedback.
