FFS just had the latest. My car is now built but there’s a delay in shipping to the UK so it’s going back from 30/11 to 31/01/23. Ordered 26/10/21. Assuming that means I’m getting an MY22 way behind some MY23 vehicles being delivered. Thought I was on for a nice early Christmas present but no such luck.

process so far

- order 26/10/21
- Initial estimate for deliver date 21/10/22
- Got an update 29/06 that it was being brought forward to 30/09
- Got an update on 05/09 it had been delayed to o 30/11 but no reason. Suspect 12v or Bose
- got an update 03/11 that it’s now built but there’s a delay shopping to the uk so delivery estimate 31/01

- Order 09/21
- Was told six months lead time (that was some bullshit)
- Got zero updates for about 10 months (ordered a BMW and got monthly updates so not sure why Porsche so incompetent)
- Got told it would be built Q4 in June
- Got update from the app saying it was built a few days ago, still no update from dealership of course
- Still no f' calls from dealership so no clue when it'll be delivered but I take it not this year

All this to say, don't order a Porsche

Newbie here.
Ordered a Taycan and a Macan from Bolton on 28/01/2022.
Macan has just been built so hopefully have it for Dec. Got a build date of April 23 for the Taycan. Good to here that some of the issues are easing but not holding out much hope for any improved delivery date.

It might be happening then... Cost of living crisis and recession/job losses is seeing cancelled orders.

Depreciation back to normal by March next year.

My dealer today told me he does not have a date that the car will arrive (current due date 11/11/2022). Porsche AG have said they are actively fitting the batteries but won’t divulge how many cars have had them, how many cars will be getting them shortly or how many batteries they have in hand. He obviously wants to get me in it as much as I want to be in it, but can’t guarantee delivery or have any idea when my car will come. He hopes within the next month, but it could potentially go into next year. Again, nothing the dealer can do, but poor planning and comms from Porsche
I think I am in the same boat as you - built waiting a part (assume battery) estimate December - worst case Jan. Believe it when I see it!

My CT has come off the production line and is on the way to the ferry. Dealer reckons w/c 21st, so have detailer lined up for ceramic coating it. Few days with him so hoping I have it before the end of the month

Good luck for a speedy delivery! I can't remember now where your dealer is... coming via Sheerness or Grimsby?

Ordered Sept 21, finished production July 22, and just missed the starter battery (I know of one car that finished same time as mine, that was told wouldn't get a battery but got one of the last ones available).
One of the first into the compound and rumour has it, will be one of the last to leave the compound.
Severly P**sed off that others are leap frogging over me. Thank goodness I bought an electric Mini to tide me over.
Dealer never gives me updates, responds to emails about 50% of the time.
This is my third Porsche, customer service used to be amazing, now not so much.
