UK order status and delays?

[plumandreal]

Mine is in the UK, arrived Tuesday. Has a battery and all options I spec’d.

I might need to eat my words then . OPC said 'Ignore that email - Sorry - Everyone is getting them - Your car is still waiting in Emden'

Started production 16th September, then had an email 29th September saying it was at the port. Arrived in UK Tuesday.

Sorry I came across a bit blunt then! I think mine was one of the first to have the battery on the production line, not having to be retro fitted. Hoping I might have it by the end of next week but might be a bit too optimistic. Hoping yours gets a battery soon, and we can all enjoy the cars!!

I think mine was made in July. Are they attempting to make 40K cars per annum? This might mean I have 6000+ cars parked in front of mine

I had the same, OPC said ignore, they also said stored cars would be getting the batteries first to free up space…………who knows ?

I am not surprised dealers may be telling customers who have a car in storage that their car is getting the battery first, particularly if they are annoyed, but it seems not and it is the preferable Porsche business case to give them to the production line until there are some batteries surplus to production line requirements.
Sadly for those of us who are stuck.

I would say they’re keeping production going whilst also retro fitting batteries. They couldn’t keep leaving them out as they would never catch up I imagine, this way no nee cars are added to the pile.

I had the same email on Tuesday saying car had arrived at Sheerness. Must have been on the same boat!! Not sure how long it'll take to get on the road to the dealer but hoping not more than a couple of weeks now!!

Personally, I'd take anything a dealer says with a pinch of salt. I was told "March 2022 at the latest". I am reading now though that current delays for my model/options are part specific (Meridan sound system/23" wheel choice), so maybe another model will arrive quicker.

My Porsche Taycan arrived earlier than expected. Was originally told November 2022 but I've been in it since August. My Range Rover is anyone's guess, I just checked, and my order was placed exactly 11months ago today. 5th to order from that particular showroom.

My Range is now "in build"...but without the Signature Audio system - a whole drama!

I am sure they are dealing with the backlog as soon as the battery supply rate exceeds the production line required rate.
It isn’t something they would slow or stop the production line for, I am sure.

I received this email this morning after prompting; "The car is still at Sheerness but as of this morning had gone through it's Pre-Delivery Inspection and completed Quality Control. Tomorrow, it will likely move onto "Assigned to Load" where the car will be assigned a transporter to come over to the Centre" I daren't ask about Bose. He hasn't mentioned anything.

Just spoke to dealer and mine is still at Grimsby port?? Said he hopes it’ll be with them in next few days. It’s been sitting there a week now. Once they get it he said between 2-3 days for me to drive it away! So close and yet so far. Have you managed to look on my Porsche on a laptop as you can check your spec. Mine has got Bose system so I would say yours would also have it.

They ship to Grimsby for the Northern dealers and Sheerness for Southern.
