Agree - visionary, but his narcissism gets him in trouble trying to run a business. They've done amazing things at SpaceX as well - and since it's not as much a public-facing business he can't screw that up the same way from a PR perspective. But still amazing stuff. Just wish he'd tone it...

I think he was confusing allocations for first deliveries. I'v seen the same timeline for the sedans recently.

Did you have to get special permission from the moderators to post things that don't trash the car or the company?

The basic cruise control is standard. PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) is also standard (on all their cars), and is not the same as the air suspension option. Some models (e.g., the 911) have a Sport PASM option ("SPASM") but that is not offered for the Taycan.

Call Suncoast Parts/Sarasota, FLA. They sell wheel/tire sets - they might be able and willing to sell a single wheel separately. Alternatively, any dealership's parts department can order directly from Porsche.

This email and activation is triggered by the service technician during the dealer prep process. Sorry to hear about your extended delays.

They've been sending those out with all the models since at least 2017. At one time they were including the "certificate of authenticity" with the welcome kit, but stopped that some time ago.

This has been an issue across the product line - depending on TPMS chip availability at time of manufacture. Seems like the average wait time at port has been a couple of weeks, but better than shutting down production entirely waiting for them. The percentage of cars being shipped without...

I don't know about cross turismos - suspect it's the same as for the sedan. I was told by my sales manager (info from his area rep) that '22 allocations for the Taycan would not be coming out until November.

I suspect Meghan and Harry might have something to do with this....

Going to be swapping my Panamera Turbo for the Taycan 4S - but no way I'm giving up my 911!

Heated front seats come standard. The option is to include rear seat heating.

Same here. Seemed like a rather thorough survey - much more meat to it than the others they've conducted.

Absolutely. Take a look at the original post and it will be clear why the responses are what they are. Porsche needs to continue to work on their software development and improve on the vehicle. But leave it a Porsche and avoid all the software gimmicks. I suspect it will be a while before...

If Tesla is so responsive, apparently nobody has ever requested that they improve on the dreadfully boring appearance of the cars or the fit/finish of the interior(?).

They have been prioritizing certain lines - that's why I asked. Macan and Cayenne production has been on hold for several weeks now, with planned resumption at the end of July. 911 production has been (and still is) relatively unaffected - delays have been at ports for TPMS chip installation...

Has anyone seen similar delays to production dates for non-CT models? I have a June 18 production date for a 4S and no changes to that (yet) on TYD.

Great info. Thanks.

Are you familiar with the recent firmware update to the charger connect? Was that specific to the "connect" version or do those that are not wifi enabled have to go in periodically to be updated by the dealership?

Why such a long wait??? I just ordered a 4S - delivery date August 13th.
