So I'm now very close to collection :). Ordered late Jan '23, build complete late May '23 and collecting on Thursday this week. First time ordering a Porsche, so somewhat nervous about actually seeing the option choices I made (the aesthetic ones anyway), but mostly looking forward to being behind the wheel and looking out.

Update: So I finally got the nod that I can collect my car next week, just as I had given up hope.

>114 days since the battery was put in the car and it has not passed the battery test (yet), but I have been advised there is one last test today, and it will be released. I know many of you are in the same position so sharing.

Order Feb 2022, delivery July 2023 (hopefully)

That’s great news, hopefully all will be well. Begs the question though, are they releasing regardless of the test result, given it has failed the test each time previously?

Sorry, I don't want to ruin your excitement, asking as I will probably end up in the same situation (or already am but they aren’t telling me) when/if my car is eventually allowed on to a vessel from Emden.

I have the same reservations as you. They are releasing regardless of the test result, Germary advised this is the last test and it can be released. Also being a sceptic, I did raise cancelling the car last Friday ?

At the end of the day, we don't even know what they were testing, as no information has been shared. Given how many times it has been tested maybe they have enough information to release.

We will see in time if I get an issue ?

Given all the additional QC all will be well hopefully. Our cars have been tested much more than most! ? Good luck and looking forward to a collection photo or three!

Received confirmation that my GTS saloon has made it on a vessel.
Not sure which port is used by Silverstone.

Production completed 12/05 - so about 58 days at Emden.
Hope there are no further delays at the dealer.

I finally collected my Taycan 4 CT yesterday... A long time coming having ordered on 10th Feb 2022 and collected it on 10th July 2023 ? Over 100 days since completion...

Some collection pictures to share!

The first drive was incredible.... Will be testing it more this week.

Great to read that some of the cars held in Emden have started being shipped and good luck to anyone still on hold for the battery issue.
