    UK order status and delays?

    I just checked the web page source (like I do every day) and although it still says Stage 3 I have a VIN and OrderState="PRODUCED" which looks very encouraging, neither of those things were there yesterday. Last week the SA sent me a screenshot showing a delay of 5 weeks on the original build...

    Small dents, PDR or traditional dent repair?

    I would try the PDR first, I have seen amazing work done by one of these guys. If you go the traditional route there’s always the risk of unmatched paint.

    All Taycan deliveries being held at port due to needing new heaters

    It does seem so, I tried with a VPN based in the US (I am in the UK) but it couldn't find my order.

    UK order status and delays?

    My ST GTS was due to be build complete 22 March and is now 26 April, the SA kindly sent me a screenshot, so 5 weeks delay.

    UK friends... anyone due for April delivery aware of any delays ?

    My GTS is supposedly being built this week but there is no VIN hidden on the webpage, my expectations are low that it will go to schedule and I’m keeping my Tesla until the Taycan arrives at the dealership. I haven’t even bought the dog protection yet and the dog was a significant excuse for...

    All Taycan deliveries being held at port due to needing new heaters

    I've been looking at heat pumps for my business recently and the kw heat rating isn't the same as the consumption, for example a 6.2kw unit draws about 2.5kw of electricity! I expect someone more knowledgable will be along soon to explain why :)

    All Taycan deliveries being held at port due to needing new heaters

    I was tempted to book a factory tour next week because my car is supposed to be complete by 22 March :( I guess the tour is going to be fairly dull if they've stopped production, or will they just keep churning them out without a battery heater

    What happens to deposits etc when you cancel ?

    These sh1ts either get caught, or more likely move to another area. We had a spate of burglaries last month spread over a few days and then back to normal. We have CCTV and a dog that will sense anything bigger than an ant approaching our house which helps ?

    GTS owners: question about passenger screen

    Are the screens made from Gorilla glass or something similar (haven't got my car yet)?

    Hi!! charging cards and Taycan dog -proofing! :)

    As my build approaches I'm looking at dog proofing again, anyone tried hatchbag (https://www.hatchbag.co.uk/porsche-taycan-2021-onwards-inc-cross-sport-turismo-not-sport-saloon)? Looks quite good an has an option for protecting the inside of the boot lid which others don't. They recommend...

    UK order status and delays?

    I ordered May 2022 and was told 12-15 months, I was offered the experience for Nov and got an allocation last week with build complete before end of March. There was nothing in the app and nothing official from HQ regarding the car until stage 3 but now it’s moving along quicker than I...

    Vehicle in Production but App not updated. Delivery forecast? How close to the date on the system?

    At least Tesla is consistent, they don’t keep you informed all the way through the process!

    How long is the car is on the production line for?

    I have the same question, I’ve got a build complete date of 22nd March but not build start. I saw a timeline the other day that was 7 days.

    Rent an EV for a road trip in the UK

    Have a look on turo.com, lots of Teslas and even a Taycan for hire. The good thing about Turo is you get to see the car you are hiring, most of the big rental companies are “this nice car, or similar” where similar means it also has four wheels ?

    Got an allocation! Please check my build :)

    I'm keeping the 4 zone climate because one daughter is warm blooded and the other is like my wife (not that she's a reptile you understand) and suffers cold hands and feet so independent zone control might help. Having read through a lot of posts on the subject I'm ditching the acoustic glass...

    Porsche seem quite keen, got to stage 3 in the app today :) going to have to tidy up the Tesla soon, it's now worth considerably less due to the recent price cuts. I can tell I've fallen out of love with the Model 3, haven't washed it since beginning of December!

    Got an allocation! Please check my build :)

    Oh yes, HUD - the car I drove on the experience day had this and I thought it was good, maybe delete the glass for this option. Thanks

    Got an allocation! Please check my build :)

    Hello lovely people, I have been offered a March slot for my ST GTS, I wasn't expecting it until after July, happy days, I'd rather have one now than be in the grey area of MY23 or wait for the facelift. I think I've done the spec to death over the last 10 months but attach it here if you would...

    UK Finance (interest rates)

    Just got a quote from Lloyds Bank for Asset Finance (some of my business banking is with them) - 6.88% over 60 months, that seems reasonable in the current climate. Just need an allocation now!

    Speed camera alerts UK - possible?

    I use Radarbot (on Apple and Android) and it’s set to launch when connecting to the car’s Bluetooth. I’m currently using the Apple version which also vibrates the Apple Watch when approaching a camera
