I’ve finally hit the lock date, so I no longer need to look at the configurator every 18.3 seconds: https://www.porsche.com/microsite/porsche-code/default.aspx?c=/PN7G25B4

It’s gone into pre-production and I’m being told mid-November it’ll be mine. I bought my Turbo from the same dealer earlier this year and they were spot on with the delivery times, so hoping for similar here.

I ordered mine in July 21 with an expected delivery date of 2nd quarter 2022. Also learnt that demand is double to what was expected. So I couldn't wait and decided to purchase a 1 year old Taycan with the intention to part-ex this in against the new one. With demand being high I don't expect too much loss on the vehicle and no more than what I would lose on a new car over the same period. Also, with owning the vehicle for 2 months I will tweak my order spec.

Latest update seems to be that Porsche is suspending all Taycan production during November and December, with things to only resume from January at the earliest....

Correct I just heard from the dealer that my car (planned delivery mid November) will be postponed as it seems to January 2022

While you may be correct, in the U.S. we are not showing these type of delays. Many of us have Dec/Jan deliveries. So far I have shown 2 week delays on my order from Mid July.

This is not accurate. I’ve been shifted four months in the US. Delivery started at 9/3, now to 12/31. Some cars are trickling in, including 2022s somehow but there are significant delays for US-bound cars.

I hope you are right, but I have my doubts. I think you should add an additional 6 weeks of shipment to the USA. So I would calculate with end of February or later for your delivery..
Keep us informed...

Interesting. My dealer has told me this week that we are still on track for an end of Nov/early Dec delivery. Maybe that will be before any shutdown. Or maybe the uk is different with RHD cars. Fingers crossed anyway!

I did exactly the same and picked up a demo car. I’ve had it for 3 months and made several changes to my order.

I don’t think anyone placing orders without an actual factory allocation should expect anything right now.

Yep, ordered beginning of September and the dealer was totally up front saying wont even get a sniff of an allocation till January. I’ve got a lost lockdown year to make up on my iPace FE though so I’m not pushing all the time. Downside is that I keep adding options on the configurator so I half suspect they have enough chips and it all an upsell ploy ?

Just placed the deposit for a CT4.

There are so many factors that can delay your order before its even given a build slot, so its worth while doing a bit of research with the dealer first.

1. CT4S seems to be the car everyone is ordering, and the allocations slots for this model is a joke at some Porsche dealers. For the CT4 there were 3 orders ahead of me at Porsche East London, and 5 orders ahead of me at Hatfield. CT4S was double digit orders at both centres, and getting close to 20 orders per centre. So unless something drastically changes with the chip shortage, I can't see how anyone ordering a CT4S in 2021 Q4 is going to see it delivered before 2022 Q3 (my opinion)

2. Some OPC share build slot allocations, which don't help the situation. Ask the dear if they are connected to another OPC (or Google). Hatfield are connected to 4 other dealerships including Mayfair London (Money Talks). While Hatfield and Mayfair are flagships, I bet they are still fighting it out when the build allocation slots come in.

Just luck of the draw at the moment, and I would advise to look for other dealers who can provide you with details on the number of orders in front of you. This way you can get a rough estimate of how long you will need to wait for one for these amazing cars

Paid my deposit in mid June with Porsche Chester, was told Oct/Nov originally, now saying I may hear in January about end Q1/start Q2 delivery. Apparently I'm 4th from allocation on a list with over 20 on it.....

The more I read these more the luckier I feel, I got a call yesterday, all still on track for December delivery. CT4 No changes since order.

I got an e mail today to say car still on track for mid December. Deposit paid in July. Still expecting it to slip given all that I have read above

 

[paddy]

Paid a deposit for a 4S on 2nd September and I was told to expect something around March/April 2022 although reading through posts on here I'm expecting that to slip.

Today I changed my request from a 4S to a Turbo S so it will be interesting to see if that makes any difference. For now I am in the waiting room.
