Well today was the day… I got the call saying that all 2022 build slots had been allocated and therefore that my order wouldn’t be built until H1 ‘23. I suddenly went from a June-July build for Sept delivery with “maybe a couple of months of delay” to a Q1-Q2 ‘23 estimate.

I’m wondering what to do but I might just hang in there… I don’t really need the car right now so not too bad, just annoying.

I’m a bit reluctant to go into Q4 British weather with my current 2WD daily but it’s either that or the motorbike which is even worse ?

Exactly the same as me................

I cancelled my RWD order today and opened a new 4S order…still being told Q3 2023 but there were 5 fewer people ahead of me in the 4S queue.

“you’re at the back of both lists, but at least the 4S list is shorter”…small positives huh?

You gotta take a win wherever you can. ?

Emailed my dealer earlier today:

"If I go PTS will I get an allocation sooner?"

Response: "Maybe you will, maybe you won't".

PTS build slots open only during specific times of the year, so if you are going PTS, there is a chance you will be bumped right up the list, not least as it means more revenue/dealer commission.

I am considering PTS+, as there is a colour I found on an ancient Porsche I absolutely love. £12k option, but it will be one-of-a-kind, so probably make the money back.

Dealer has to get special approval from Porsche HQ.

I am keeping plans quiet for now. The colour is kind of green and kind of blue.

Porsche - “your car will be very late. And more expensive. And we’ll treat you like you’re lucky to even get one of our amazing cars”
Us on the forum - “can we spend more on bonkers extras like £12k paint while we wait?”

Haha so true.

It seems the typical Porsche buyer now needs to be slightly jilted with a complete lack of understanding the value of money.

I stuck it out mate. At numerous points over the 14 month wait I totally lost interest and nearly cancelled. But the waiting list for other decent cars is crap and it will be worth the wait for the Taycan. Its an awesome car.

I was told sep from Teeside , now there telling me they have only 1 allocatio all year for a ct turbo, so I’ve been pushed to god knows when next year

Yeah it seems to be more reasonable to be patient, I have to say that the feeling test driving a 4S and a Model X was soooo different that I would probably be disappointed with any other EV than the CT.
It’s just that with 3 children, my 4 seater isn’t great and using our secondary car (a little T-Roc) for family trips was supposed to be temporary!

Quite glad I didn’t listen to my SA who said that I could have a CT Turbo “much faster as only 1 person in the queue”… I think they just don’t know much about delays at this point in time. And who knows what Q1 ‘23 will bring…

I was going to order a 4S CT from them but just couldn't get a straight answer on how many on their wait list so ordered from Reading who were totally transparent and got me a commission number/ build slot 3 weeks after paying the deposit with 11 people ahead of me.
