Yes with all these bailouts Im sure the Gvt will try to claw back as much as they can from businesses soon after life returns to normality!

I wouldn't be surprised if they withdraw electric car incentives on anything above £50k....
Thats what I fear, and if they do I will cancel order as the corp tax benefits are why I am doing this

You still keeping yours mate? Not spoke to our dealership to see how many cancellations that they have had. Still not sure what to do as I would imagine I will now be 2021 and the government might pull the EV incentives
Hi pal
At the moment I’m planning on keeping it I will make the final decision at the last minute

I’m sure The government will extend the OLEV grant for us and I think the tax incentives and BIK will stay too

You will have to contact Jon or Nick and make your own deal. It does no good to talk about it.

1-800-PORSCHE

It took me two calls, the first person said they needed a different number ending in US20 (which I didn't have), but I called back and the second person was able to get me the info with just the commission number. Let me know how it goes.

I am hoping they gave me some super conservative estimate.
Ok, I just called PCNA. They actually transferred me to someone at my dealership, who I talked to. My original delivery date was May 22. He said my current expected delivery date is now June 26. So I've only been pushed out about a month. I don't get how that could be true, while others here have had their projected delivery pushed out a lot longer. He said that they have a conference call with Porsche later today, when he will learn more. He said he'd call me back after that con call. But he's been told that Porsche is planning on starting production back up on May 17. I've seen online where they said it was the 14th, apparently it's now the 17th.

So good news for me, I guess - I've only been pushed out a month. No idea how likely that is to happen though.

Interestingly the update I got from my schedule on April 3rd said that my production is expected to be complete by April 17th

I started production on 3/5 and went into a storage compound on 3/17.

So if that still holds, I don't know why my date moved out to July unless there is a shipping delay.

Hi tayc4n did your dealer register your vehicle for the rebate ,I believe there’s quite a few dealers who didn’t pre register

Yes I believe they have been furloughed but should still be able to email my sales principal.

I just called Champion in Florida and all their allocations are sold. They have a turbo they will discount. All those after May or June will be pushed to January delivery and 21s.
