As someone in government policy, all that shiny shit can be regulated at the swipe of a pen and it will happen. Hell, I've written leg that includes it. She's not a car person. If it's what she wants, she can have it. I could give a single shit while it's still under warranty, but I will never...
FWIW on timing - my car hasn't been delivered yet but I just ordered a set of HRE P101SC and HRE is telling me that my choice in finish will have them here in March...so 7 months from now.
I put this in another thread not too long ago but we ordered a brand new Model X LRP last year. The car is a flaming, giant, piece of shit.
We have 10k on the car. In those 10k:
The halfshafts were replaced 3x and are shot again. Shuddering under any kind of acceleration.
The endlinks are...
Yes twice. Changed from my actual order date to the date I made one change to my config and then again when last week. Total of about 10 days from when I actually ordered the car to what's showing up on TYD.
Texted him and all he said was "parts shortage". I'm going back and forth with a neighbor who works for VW America here in Northern VA who is saying the supply chain is picking back up but the backlog of cars without the parts is extensive across all of VAG.

Sedans are going to dealers where they're being told to swap the units off of lot units if available, and if...
Good question, I don't know for sure. They were actually going to take that allocation spot for one of their builds the following Monday if nobody got it. When he showed me the initial order and freeze dates on the computer it was showing a 9/1/2021 freeze date. My original delivery date was...
In the same boat as you - was prepared to wait until 2022. Got an allocation with a late-Nov delivery date.
TYD is being very weird though. My order was placed on 08/09/2021 and the change freeze says it was reached on 07/22/2021. My dealer confirmed that the order is already frozen.
I would still expect a 50% hit in the first three years regardless. There's a worksheet floating around from Germany on Taycan depreciation and while not the same in the U.S. they're estimating 47% depreciation over 3yrs/45,000 miles. That supply shortage will not last forever and when it...
