All Taycan deliveries being held at port due to needing new heaters

[annieland]

You are correct in that this is my first Porsche! In fact, this will be the first car I actually buy for myself. I've always bought cars for other people. The excitement quickly went to frustration. However maybe I should take a sabbatical from this forum until my car gets "unstuck" ? I keep salivating over all the collection day photos one day dreaming that will be me. I wish I could have selective memory loss and forget about this thing until it's on a boat!

So now you've heard it from both a lowly newbie and an old-timer. I'm a perceptive woman (it's why my husband and kids can never get a damn thing past me) and I can read between the lines of all your posts. Take a break from the forum to breathe a little, or just use for education and to get PUMPED for the dream car that's waiting for you... as you see people keep getting their cars know soon it will be YOUR day and we'll all go crazy for you too!

Has anyone got any updated info re the cars in compounds awaiting the updated heater? Seems a bit hit and miss as to which cars which were built in February have the upgraded heater.
Ive seen one delivered from the same dealer in the UK from mine built a week earlier (8th Feb) with the new heater. Mine was the 18th and has been sat for nearly 6 weeks. I got told last Saturday it has a dealer block due to the heater.

Spoke to my dealer today said they asked the UK National vehicle planner for an ETA, but nothing yet, they also informed me that there are strikes in Germany, so any cars which are in compounds cant get transport anyway let alone repairs…. and doubts he will hear anything from Germany until there’s a global update.

Not really the customer experience you want for such an expensive car.

Heaters are attached to the VIN number of the vehicles therefore if your cars heater is affected

Hi all, I now I have a dilemma I posted earlier in week I ordered a black Turbo S in March 2022 which was due for delivery end of Feb but on now delayed until August:September. I was offered a Turbo S in Crayon colour delivery end of April similar spec on Friday. What should I do wait or change? Thanks

Crayon (Chalk in the US) is a great color on the Taycan especially in the sun. I’d probably choose Ice Grey in climate with less sun though. Is the rest of the spec close to what you ordered?

Yes slightly more stuff on it than I would have ordered plus mission E wheels.

Just be aware that Crayon will show the beige tint when the sun is not out. I loved my Chalk CT4 with Satin Black wheels in Austin TX but it’s almost always sunny here.

Thanks for feedback

Here’s a good representation of Chalk/Crayon when it’s cloudy out…

It’s a difficult decision from Black to Crayon to get 4/5 months early I need to see colour in the flesh so to speak.

This does look really nice with a contrast

not sure where you are in the UK, but Mid Sussex and Guildford had plenty of crayon last time I was there drooling over the cars in anticipation of mine ! if you are further up North apologies as this advice won't be helpful!

Guildford is my local centre too and yes, difficult to drive past without a mooch in
