12 volt batteries - Cars held in compound

[OPLA1925]

Appreciate that we've got a few "delay" threads up and running. Very interested to hear what you've been told about the battery shortages. My car, as well as others are apparently being held in a compound in Germany until these batteries can be procured. Anyone in a similar boat? Affects cars built in the past 2-3 weeks (and going forwards).

Porsche told my dealer that delay for my car was because of battery supply issues, but AFAIK, the dealer has yet to have confirmation that the car has been built. It should have started production on 24th June. I have to assume it has been, and is in that compound with yours. Let’s hope not for too long.??

Yep - I believe mine's in the compound. Oddly my tracking screen from the dealer shows it having left the compound on July 11th, after being build complete on the 8th, but it's not at Emden.

It also shows a predicted wait of 8 weeks at Emden, and the online tracking thing still shows "Your vehicle is now scheduled for production".

@OPLA1925 - what does the status screen (from your dealer) for your build show?

Like yours it shows a wait until September, albeit at the compound rather than the dock.

The 8 weeks delay that was forecast for 12 volt battery production is now up and the Porsche plants have resumed production following summer shut down. Does that mean cars are being released from the compound for transport to Emden. Anyone seen any movement out of the compound this week?

Porsche have updated systems to show delivery timelines near Christmas.... Dealer has advised that they hope and expect the car to come sooner... Porsche app shoes the car built and waiting for delivery.

I guess this is going to be an even longer wait than expected.

I am in The Netherlands but just went and saw my Porsche at the dealer as well. They can't release it due to the 12v battery, which needs to be replaced before the dealer can request plates.

Don’t shoot the messenger, but post linked above seemed to indicate a possible further 8 week delay following this week whilst 12v batteries were retro-fitted.

Any news on your end? I’m in the same boat for a few weeks now.

Nothing. Sorry. Also been waiting for 4 weeks now.

My dealer showed me what he sees - think he gave up trying to be the messenger.

Have the same 12V battery issue. Taycan CT4 manufactured in July and is now in a German warehouse awaiting its battery.

Original delivery was May’22. Last delivery was first half of August.

Dates on my dealers screen now say end of November. Reckon 2023 at this stage.

Jezus Christ. Mine is actually already in the country, something like 40 kilometer from my location. Waiting on a rooftop with 10 other Taycans the dealer has the invoice for from Porsche, but may not deliver to customers.

Must say, all the joy I once felt for this car is beginning to fade away.

Just heard November today as well..

My dealer tells me that similar to the order tracking system, there is a battery block list. My vehicle isn’t on that list he says. It was meant to go into production last week (he can’t confirm yet as it hasn’t been updated in the system). I’ve given up on who/what to believe.

Hi All,

Just got an update from my dealer, they have been advised by Porsche AG that fitting of 12V batteries to impacted cars will commence from the middle of October through to the end of Jan 2023.

Has anyone else received any similar messages?
