UK order status and delays?

[AlphaJGamma]

Wow that is good news. When was production completed?
Which dealer?

Mine is a lease vehicle being provided by pendragon so I’m getting my news third hand really. Turns out the dealer actually took mine “into stock” yesterday so I’m waiting on a call to arrange collection/delivery!

Now I have received a video of my car form my sales assistant it looks like thee grey winter wheels will be the best match for my colour scheme so I have asked for these

I like them a lot and if the ride ends up being much better on them they may end up as my main wheels anyway.

Now I need to change my insurance and decide if I need the tracker activating.

Given how long you waited for it and how long the queue is for another, I'd probably want to take every measure to get it back. I'd put an airtag in as well!

TBH if I’d known how long it would take I wouldn’t have ordered one and if it gets stolen and the wait is still as long I probably wouldn’t bother to replace it.

I think your actuary friend is looking at it from an insurers point of view - as in they make money and the customers lose money (overall).
As an actuary would. ?

Personally, I am glad I have had it over the years.....3 cars, 3 watches, jewellery, flood, accidental damage etc.
All none fault. ?

I have claimed way more back than I will ever pay in premiums.

Yet others never make a claim. Nature of the beast.

What I have learned is its often the little low cost bolt ons that are worth having. Accidental damage on a household policy, legal fees on a motor policy etc.

Good luck with the car Frank. My bet is Monday or Tue this coming week.

My son is an Actuary and he never told me this!!

Would something like this work ?

few others on eBay might be worth a look ?

I saw those but the grey rather than gloss black ones are the ones I like the look of.
I know I am odd and it is most people’s favourite but I don’t like gloss black wheels with turned highlights. Never have.
I may even get the shiny bits of the grey ones painted.

Once they’re off again, I will get the winter wheels painted Satin black all over I think. Or maybe even another colour. I have a top-notch alloy wheel company near me that I completely trust to do a superb job

I may be asking for a link.
I ticked the 21” CT wheels on my order painted volcano grey option which was dropped for 2023 model.
My ancient AMG wheels off my Merc 500E are in a state probably need the shiny spun external rim replacing and the centres re-painting.

I think the gloss bits are removable like the carbon blades so might be able to get them all resprayed ? Would save a lot of cash I reckon.

Yep of course. They do full (properly done), repairs, painting and refurbishment.

All the local dealers use them for alloy repairs

On the winter wheels I chose there aren’t any removable bits. The 21” CT wheels are grey with shiny bits as standard but there is an option of painting several colours at the time of order.
The first pictures I saw of the CT 21” wheels they were grey but then I noticed that was an option not standard.

My order is now at stage 2 on the MyPorsche app.

Brilliant news, it seems like our cars were aligned with each other and of course both Mamba Green! With regard’s insurance they have a “drive away” free insurance that lasts 5 days. Pick up date for mine is Wednesday 30th, happy days!

Just confirmed 1st December for me.

 

[WuffvonTrips]

Just confirmed 1st December for me.

Maybe they'll have it draped with tinsel and hung with baubles for you.
I'm sure I'm one of many of us here who will breathe a sigh of relief when you take delivery- and are looking forward to seeing some artistic photos of the mamba over blackberry combo.
