Apparently so. Dealership confirmed it’s aboard the Neckar Highway, which set sail this afternoon to arrive at Grimsby tomorrow afternoon. Perhaps more of interest to you Gary, I asked the dealership to run a check to confirm that the vehicle had been built with Matrix lights fitted. They...

Thanks for confirming Iain. Gary - I’m assuming you haven’t received one of these links from Preston? Have to say, for the reasons I mentioned in an earlier post from today, I’m not going to chase for a link just yet.

Did Preston confirm your vehicle still has the shipping block on Gary? Apparently mine’s been removed and may be hitting a boat tomorrow (hopefully not literally). Can’t think yours will be far behind mine. You may want to complain to Porsche GB. Seemed to suddenly see mine get fitted with the...

Out of interest Iain, when did you receive the invitation to log into the My Porsche app? For reference, before taking delivery of my first Taycan, I was advised by my dealer to not log into My Porsche prior to them setting up the vehicle at the dealership. Apparently doing so before they link...

Does anyone have a link for Behind the Scenes? There’s nothing on the App Store or for UK customers that I can find.

I think the key metric is the build date rather than the order date. It definitely seems to be that any vehicles built in 22 don’t have matrix fitted. That said, I’m now on pins to see if mine arrives with or without them having concluded build in the third week of Dec 21.

Cutting them some slack for the abysmal comms they get from GB and AG by all accounts, I’d have to say they are pretty good all things considered. Would I buy another Porsche from then having used a different dealer previously? The answer would have to be yes, so I guess that’s the benchmark. I...

Oh, I nag them daily.

So, a further update…. The shipping block has been moved from my car! ? My dealer is unsure as to whether it is, or is not a coincidence that I gave Porsche GB an absolute rocket on Friday. Will keep you all posted. Now the worry turns to not will the car ever arrive but will it arrive with...

Not sure whether your vehicle is faring better Gary (Browning), but as for mine, it still has a shipping block on it. There could be 10 ships inbound from Emden to the U.K. this week, but while mine still has a block it on because it’s missing the semiconductors, it won’t be going anywhere...

Meant to say, I so very nearly went for the Porsche Design Chrono Clock and decided to draw a line on spending at £114k (ish) for a 4S. Envious; now wishing I’d drawn a line at £115k instead. ?

Nice spec Gary. Unknowingly, you’ve made me feel a lot better. I’d been worrying I’d gone OTT on the options for a 4S to the extent I should have just plumped for the Turbo. However, seems I’m in good company or not alone in getting busy with the options click. Psychologically, it is...

Nice spec Iain. Although I am biased as a future Ice Grey owner. ?

Mine went into build the prior week, i.e. first week of Dec, so I’ll hope to not find Matrix-PDLS+ lights missing. If they weren’t fitted, that would be a deal breaker for me and, within the rights of my purchase contract, I’d reject the vehicle. I wonder however if we have stumbled on...

On buying my first Taycan, I originally spec’s Ice Grey, only to change it last minute for black. Second time around, I’ve kept reasonably close to my very first specification. My dealership had two in Ice Grey on display at a recent customer event evening and they both looked fabulous under the...

Congratulations Emma. I'm sure you're delighted after a long wait.

My code is PNJ8BPN3 although like others have said, this showcases PDLS plus as no longer featuring in the configuration despite having been included in the build.

Iain, would you be willing to share on here your exact specification including extras? Like others, I’d be keen to understand if it appears to be a genuine lottery as to when built cars are released for export to the U.K. or whether certain spec items point to a greater rationale behind delays...

Believe me, I’ve greater reason to tell the dealership to forget it than yourself Gary and ask for my deposit back, even though they are just the middle man in all this and somewhat powerless. However, the facts are that it’s a sellers market at present. With demand outstripping supply...

Congratulations Iain! Our loss is your gain it seems! Mine still has a shipping block on it despite the build having completed in early Dec. That yours completed build within the month goes to show there is no logic to it, at least to those of us on the outside.
