UK: When did you order and when did (or will) your car arrive?

[Fish Fingers]

Is the air suspension/flood the issue for the hold ups - as well as the infamous chip shortage?

I order with dealer a 4s on 13/11/2020. Original told delivery May. It’s been a very painful and long 10 months. It sat in the factory for a while and then on the dock for several weeks. Delivery now pencilled in for 10/09 and we have a 2 week road trip booked the next day. Very very excited, almost don’t believe I’m going to get the car!

Just picked up this morning but worth the wait
A couple of months delayed
Only one key but everything else is there I think ?

Congrats, enjoy…and keep the (only) key safe

Wife’s 4S CT arrived early August but had sent way for PPF treatment (satin finish which I love on the Crayon exteriors) and collected on 1st Sep.

Same as the thread above, only one key but 2 key blades and another will get sent out soon. The other issue is that car has been with a manual steering wheel adjustment but will be recalled to be fitted with electronic column due to the chip shortages! I’ve also been told that Macan orders with electric seat options are being sent with manual then recalled when they’re available which seems like a crazy way to go about things but I suppose it allows the cars to be shipped out.

The car Looks Stunning.
I orderd a crayon also and can't wait to get mine.

If you don't mind me asking, Where did you get the PPF from and how much did it cost?

I got a company called Reep Midlands to carry out the job as they’ve done a few cars for us in the past. I can’t say for certain how much it cost as they did 3 cars for us at the same time so difficult to know what each costs. However, on my wife’s last Taycan Saloon, we didn’t want to change the finish so went gloss PPF on the front end and what they call a track pack long the sides and then the rest was ceramic coated and think that cost us £2k. Whilst the costs are not low, I do know that Porsche centres value Taycan’s being PPF’d as they’ve seen a load Coke with chips at the front so it’s something worth considering.

If you’re interested in options then happy to do an intro for you.

Thanks very much for the information.
I was expecting something in the range of £2k but I'm still considering it anyways.
I still have like 4 months before I meet my Taycan so will use the time to shop around a little.

Thanks again, very kind of you.

My order was meant to arrive 26/11 but has already slipped 10/12. Lets see if a 2 week slip can be held

Not from UK but france... placed an order this week and production scheduled in november (says my dealer). Does not make much sense given the delays.

IMO, it makes sense.
I think that they are going to complete production as much as possible since it's less expensive to ship completed vehicles instead to organize some "postproduction" installments in ports, at dealers, etc...
On the other hand, my dealer told me that if one would place an order today, delivery date would be Q2 next year.... therefore, it looks that depends on market and other....

 

[Gentleman Blue]

Mine was due 24th Sept, slipped back to the 8th October now.

 

[Gentleman Blue]

Dropped back 2 weeks and then forward a week, so only a week behind approx!
It's actually finished now, dealer expects it will be supplied with 1 key only but other than that should be complete.

Hopefully end of sept start of Oct now...
