    Order delay for 4s is 2 years...

    Consider yourself lucky compared to some shopper it seems. Ah I see my old dealer is up to some of their usual tricks! LOL. Got my '13 991S from them and they were okay but for some of the other more desired models they could be absurdly pricey. $40k ADM for a 4S is crazy! He was retired from...

    Order delay for 4s is 2 years...

    Yes if you got in line soon enuff and early enough then you were probably good to go and your car should be arriving soon. Congrats but yes there IS a wait now! That sounds about correct. 2+ yrs supply issues globally and continued lock downs in China due to COVID along with concurrent pent...

    Dealer lying about the car not being delivered by Porsche

    As whitex has noted that is very TRUE...see my post but have seen a WA dealer do exactly that years ago with a friends spec'd car. In the US usually the contract is fulfilled by both parties and they walk away happy...one with keys the other with a payment/check however in WA IF the dealer...

    Dealer lying about the car not being delivered by Porsche

    Some SA's are more diligent than others. My SA let me know when the approx arrival of my CT4 would be and we had a bunch of dates for him to shoot for to prep it for delivery. Easy but you have to do you due diligence especially in this market and with some WA dealers..I am afraid. Had a WA...

    Issue with selling my GTS Targa 4 to Porsche dealer and ordering a Taycan 4s

    Did similar with my 2021 Carrera S in July 2020...traded in my 2014 Carrera S for the car at time of order in July 2020 and they applied the $$ owed back after everything to the new car which was delivered in Nov 2020. No issue and I had other cars to drive...so no problem trading early for me...

    "June 2023 delivery expected if ordering today". How much can I trust it?

    Yep lots of IFs....the world is not the normal world we have been used to and many of the above have changed it likely to a new era and paradigm. Car buying has gone with it too....but will take a while for rest of us buyers, govts, businesses to figure it out and catch up and things to settle...

    Is it odd for shop foreman to take my car home?

    Yes I've seen it happen before. With my son's BMW after a transmission fault and replacement and still with issues that the shop foreman/manager thought were not fully resolved he told me it would take a bit longer and that he was driving the car home and back to replicate normal driving and...

    GTS USA status

    Yes spoke to my SA last week looking to possibly upgrade my CT4 to a GTS ST and he says due to production issues and wiring harness issues and supply concerns PCNA did not receive many new allocations this past go around...a handful he said and most dealers didn't get any at all. No new ones...

    Interior Alarm Fix (WNB4)

    So got the same message also about a week ago. Scheduled car to go in at the end of this week. Hope dealer has the part and checks the schedule. Will let you know but yes have had the alarm problem more recently at least 1-2x every week or so now. Not too painful but still frustrating.

    Hood damage

    Congrats...got a rock chip on my roof today from a 18 wheeler...or road debris! Was like man...now to find the best paint chip maker on the marker for Pcars. Road debris! :( Do those guys still exist? Yes remember those Earl Scheib paint jobs well....ah they did make it a solid color but...

    Dash Cam

    Nice setup, how do you like it? Why did you negate the rear camera? Seems to me like it is part of the whole package and setup with a dash cam. Front protection only doesn't help from the sneak attack from the back!

    Dash Cam

    Yes this takes power from the OBD port and works both when the car is on and off. Just finished doing a similar install on my daughter's Audi A3 and my BMW M4 this weekend. Snaps into the OBD diagnostic port and then rest is same as any other hardwire without going to the tap into the fuse box...

    CT OPTIONS

    Yes sport sound I've heard too many times is a gimmick. Test drove a car with it but left it off mine. Didn't make the experience anything more special and could save the $$ on something else. Rear axle not that great other than slow circle and low speed but you probably won't notice it in day...

    After purchase options???

    Yes I see...only things that really made any reasonable sense $$ was were Sport Sound and the Range Manager...but only one I can add when I go online is the Sport Sound option. The rest I agree are better when ordering a car. Overall..am happy with my CT4 but if the opportunity comes around...

    A 30 minutes charging session cost me $2k!?!!

    Nope...those things are the devil! Glad I've never met someone who liked them as much as I do Porsches. Yes thank god that is my significant other...loves her gardening and plants. She'd rather come back home with a fern or tomato plant than one of those bags. Yes she gets her car of choice...

    After purchase options???

    Okay there are a few options I left off my 22 Taycan CT that I would now add or consider. Wonder how easy they are. Mostly am talking about the following: Intelligent Range Manger Software upgraded charging options Sport sound advanced rear 4 zone climate controls off road package Remote park...

    Cross Turisimo Range ?

    Mirrors what I have seen when I charge to 90 SOC which is where I normally do when I plug in at night during the week.

    Buying CT4 Sight Unseen

    Same for me...ordered last July 2021 without ever seeing one in the flesh. Just videos from the release and then tons of youtube reviews and folks taking deliveries on this and other forums. When car finally arrived in late Jan 2022 was not surprised or unhappy with my options. Only regrets...

    Ordered a ST RWD. Too many options?

    Pretty good specs but most say the passenger display is not that useful. Surround camera is a must as it is a wide car. ACC I actually use a bit more on my car, a CT4. Would think it would come with air suspension...I love it on my CT4. I too am thinking whether I should upgrade to a ST GTS...
