    July 2023 Deliveries

    Yes A MY2023 VIN was indeed created. I do have it. I compared it against the VIN decoder to verify its seeming accuracy.

    July 2023 Deliveries

    The build originally locked on 28April and was to exit production on 16June That slipped to 1July, then 15July, then 25July then the car disappeared from TYD this last weekend. Let’s have fun guessing the ways in which cars get irreparably damaged during Taycan build process. My wild and...

    Delivery Delay Woes

    Not that it helps your situation, but you asked if anyone has had "similar experiences". Well, I just got new of this today after over a year and original June 2023 expected delivery. I think your characterization of 'disaster' also applies here. "It looks like your car was damaged beyond...

    July 2023 Deliveries

    oh, oh, I have a new one! (guessing this is a freshie among this board) original delivery estimate was to be June, then July, then August, the September. from SA six weeks after manufacturing start, w/o any communication absent my probing, and four days after my 'commission number' was...

    August 2023 Deliveries

    I have a very similar experience Problem about Model year is that the VIN is already established and it is a 2023

    August 2023 Deliveries

    You are getting a 2024 that started production June 18? My 2023 started production just two weeks before you but it isn’t due in Houston until September.

    August 2023 Deliveries

    Forgive me if you already stated this, but is there anything unusual in your build? For example, deviated stitching in florescent green, club leather, or PTS. My understanding is that Porsche locks down the electronics early. I am curious for my own (probably over-speced) GTS ST that has delays...

    New Porsche Recall/"Stop sell" - any details?

    just on the narrow point of : "Last I knew no rental company offers a suitable Porsche (or exotic) for a one way trip that seats 3 people and luggage for a week. Does such a company exist and even if they do are they local to Atlanta, GA?" yes to that question. My experience with Porsche Drive...

    July 2023 Deliveries

    I placed myself on two dealer waitlists in the bay area in January 2022 as well. Those waits seemed interminable so in August 2022, I got allocation from dealer at 2nd home outside CA. Build started 3June23. Completion scheduled for 14July23. Delivery estimated now 15Sept23. Excited for my 2023...

    July 2023 Deliveries

    SA originally told me to expect delivery as early as first week of *June* for PECLA pickup. but Only entered production 2June TYD just updated manufacturing complete’ from 13June to 15July. Six weeks in production?!? Based on what others write here, I can be looking at October or (gasp!)

    MY23 or MY24 choice (last one)

    SA gave me choice of MY23 July delivery at MY23 price or MY24 September delivery at MY24 price (estimated USD10-12K higher). My reflex is to take the lower cash outlay now vs waiting for the marginal and undetermined benefits of one newer model year when I sell. MY23 Or MY24

    Removing Model Badge

    Like said elsewhere here, I notice that in Germany and Switzerland at least, many, if not most high-end cars are debadged for the trim level, if not the model. I regularly think of 'down badging': taking my forthcoming factory-debadged GTS and installing a different VWG badge: TDI

    Porsche experience centre - non drivers

    I was told by my SA that for LA experience during pickup: -I am allowed to take 2 'drivers'. Undisclosed drive time -Once date is scheduled, I can potentially (pay extra to) add additional drivers -Once date is schedule, potentially pay extra for different cars (e.g., GT3,GT4RS,911TurboS)

    Should I wait for the 2024 Taycan?

    Is that the date going into production? At the higher 2024 pricing?

    Should I wait for the 2024 Taycan?

    One more datapoint on MY23 GTS ST from deposit put in 1H22: (SA said that GTS' get built last in a MY so if I were to wait for MY24, it would not be 30,60, or 90 days, but rather it would be a year. Not sure if that is the truth. Your purchase order has been confirmed 1/31/23 You have reached...

    Questions from a Tesla Owner

    Yeah, for my first electric car, I did not cross shop with a Tesla, but with Lucid, Rivian, Merc. Having driven each tesla model (incl. roadster), but owning none of them, the interior size of my incoming Taycan matches my experience of the interior space of a Tesla Model 3--including your...

    Neither PTS nor deviated stitching for CY23

    The configurator lets you specify the LCD glass roof but you can’t order that either. I am told this is a calendar year restriction on the PTS. Maybe if you order now for CY24 delivery you will be ok.
