My GTS has been in Benicia since June 14th, with a Hold Sale waiting on a software update. Also going to Porsche Marin. Last date to transport is July 26th, which hasn’t changed on TYD since. There are thousands of cars waiting on an update I’m told, and they’re not being processed quickly. I’m hoping to get it this month, but no one can say how long it may be.

My guess is that updates are needed to deal with charging/battery cell issues that require re-measurement. Due to supply chain issues, the actual chips used in each car could vary and require individualized attention.

Hopefully, yours will go through more quickly.
Have you gotten your car yet? My delivery date to the dealer was today, but software update still not done.

Anyone else out there whose car arrived in Benicia July 21 gotten their vehicle yet? Curious to know how long it will take...

Not the same dealer/location but it took 3 days for my dealer to do whatever was needed including the software updates. Although the car is now ready I can’t pick it up as the loan paperwork at my tiny local bank is processing ever so slowly. But I’m getting a great rate so I don’t mind waiting till next week. Lol.

Curious to know, what rate did you get? I got financing from my small bank at 7.49% for 72 months.

5.25 / 48mo. My dealer is pissed . Lol. The best he can do is 5.9. The difference is $2000 so it’s a no-brainer. Of course you also have to factor in loan fees which differ from one lender to anothe. Lots of research needed.

That's great! I wonder if it's different in different parts of the country

Oh I just looked. It is different from state to state. My bank also made an exception and financed the whole amount of the car.

Sadly, no. TYD just updated again to expected delivery date of August 29th. I don't believe it, and expect it will be in September, but at this rate, could be October. It arrived in Benicia June 13th, having just missed the March 31st transport out of Emden to leave on May 5th. I understand there are thousands of Taycans in North America on software update holds.

Fortunately, the weather in California is perfect for driving my Carrera Cabriolet S, so my patience holds out a bit longer. What else can you do?

Here's my anecdata for a CT 4S:
  • Build complete April 14
  • Left Emden on June 21 (two months later!)
  • Arrived in Jacksonville on July 10 (one day ahead of the prediction! :D)
  • Was originally scheduled to be released from Jacksonville on August 3 but was just updated yesterday to August 25.
It's looking like it could be as much as six months since the car rolled off the assembly line until I get it, which is absolutely nuts.

Just realized TYD updated with a 8/16/23 departure from Emden, 8/31/23 arrival in Baltimore and 9/3/23 arrival at dealership….. Wonder how accurate it is this time….

Guess I’ll start a September 2023 Deliveries thread

Is the car moving on the app? It should be moving across a theoretical (often incorrect) transatlantic route…

Here it is, at PDI. Then goes full PPF, ceramic.

This is not a car, it's an emotion. No comparison with Tesla. I am floored.
Many congrats - there is no doubt that the ability to put together our individual builds make this a very personal purchase.
