oh, oh, I have a new one! (guessing this is a freshie among this board)
original delivery estimate was to be June, then July, then August, the September.
from SA six weeks after manufacturing start, w/o any communication absent my probing, and four days after my 'commission number' was mysteriously no longer recognized by TYD:
"It looks like your car was damaged beyond repair during production and Porsche now needs to start over.
The are price protecting you on your build and you will be getting a 2024 model. So sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I don’t know exactly what happens but it is not something that can move forward due to the damage."

When was your original build date? I'm currently 12 weeks from manufacturing start and I've been half way expecting something like that to happen.

Collected mine yesterday
14 weeks after build completion. As predicted by many all negativity has gone and now on a very positive plain. What an amazing car and I did manage to get a loaner for a few days.
IIce Grey is stunning. The contrast with the blacks on the GTS makes it pop and the metallic pearl effect just results in admiring glares.

The build originally locked on 28April and was to exit production on 16June
That slipped to 1July, then 15July, then 25July then the car disappeared from TYD this last weekend.
Let’s have fun guessing the ways in which cars get irreparably damaged during Taycan build process. My wild and uninformed guess? During testing, some part of the battery corrupted actual frame.

Porsche SA told me the 3 months thing too, which resulted in me not taking the lease because the 3 month interest would make it a barely break-even at best.
However, I recently went through this with Audi, and found an honest enough dealer who admitted they have no way to force you to pay 3 months, it's just that if you pay it off earlier than 90 days after funding (which actually means few days more than 90, like 93 or possibly up to 100 days), the dealer loses their kickback from the leasing company (which I think is the lease acquisition fee + premium for jacking your rate). One Audi dealer actually told me that it's "against Washington state law" for me to pay off the lease before 6 months,
. So I suspect the 3 month minimum is not mandatory with Porsche either, it's just so that the dealer doesn't lose his $895 kickback (plus whatever bonus they get for jacking your rates above the base rate).

Yes
A MY2023 VIN was indeed created. I do have it. I compared it against the VIN decoder to verify its seeming accuracy.

If it was me, I'd google it to see if the car was sold/listed elsewhere by some chance (as new or crashed, who knows). Maybe even run a Carfax on that VIN, though information on Carfax is usually delayed. Some of my work includes cyber-security, so I'm more paranoid than the average person.

My car just arrived at Benicia CA yesterday, anyone else on the same boat? Any ideas when it will be ready to be delivered to the dealership?

They seem to be coming in droves now...just got an email from Porsche Tonbridge to say they've taken delivery of my CT4S. It went into build on 30th June, so a quick turnaround in the end (if you ignore the fact that I ordered it in April 2022 )
They said I could pick it up today amazingly. Unfortunately I can't get there till next Friday ?

Hi - Just picked up my CT and I'm considering the REVIVify self healing coating. Has anyone applied this vehicle protection? Worth it? One package is standard at $2500 and the other is extra thick at $3500. Pretty pricy. Would love to know if anyone has experience with this product.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Great question! I did 20% for the rear windows and 50% on the front windows. In Minnesota our limit is 50% but I think the CT4 will get away with it since it gives off wagon/cross over vibes, haha. I had a silver car years ago with 30% and really got beat up by the troopers here because of it!
