Mine completed on 21/11 - Currently at Emden too. Benn told to expect it in about 2 weeks...... Fingers crossed for those times sticking!
I just found today that the car made a boat , so the wait was about 2 weeks at emden, It remains to be seen how long it now takes to get to the dealer.

Mine got from production complete to Sheerness in 8 days 9/11// to 17/11 but still hasn't reached Guildford 12 days later, the SA did say it would take 3 weeks from boat to delivery but I assumed she was managing expectations. Maybe you'll be luckier.

My guess is the port and dealers are busier than usual because the 800 or so cars which were in storage without batteries plus the cars produced recently are all arriving around now.

This.

Only time this matters is when they do a facelift on a car when it makes a difference. End of day is that it Is still a 72 plate.

My advice is

1. Get the dealer to register the car with a 72 plate
2. Make sure dealer has two sets of plates made up one your private plate and the 72 plate
3. Ask him to stick the 72 plates in the boot and put your private plates on
4. Give him retention document so he can register - it’s online and takes minutes.

When you sell car and remove your private plates you have the original plates for the car and don’t have to get new ones cut Etc!
I asked my dealer to do this but he wants to put the private plate straight on it.

As I said once before I think the 800 number is low ball, considering how long they were producing cars without batteries and their annualised volumes. So yeah I agree but I think the numbers are a lot worse, but Porsche AG won't let on coz it's bad publicity to their new shareholders etc.

So did mine but I insisted he register under the 22 plate.

if selling car on with the private plate then not a problem.
Imagine when you do want to sell you have to let dvla allocate you a new plate and then go and get plates cut also creates an issue with dvla and insurance.

better to get him to register it and get private reg plates cut in advance although dealer should do you two sets as it’s low cost.

I’d insist if I were you.

If you part-ex, the dealer will probably sort it all out for you - mine just asked me to complete a DVLA form online, then I handed over my part-ex with my private reg and collected my new car with that reg on it.

Excellent news and the pictures really add to the sense of it all coming together so to speak.

My car is currently going through production so I’ll have to wait a wee bit longer to see mine.

Mine is being delivered so they sent me a video reveal instead which is part of a longer video handover running through the features of the car.

I never got anything like that, nor was expecting it, from the My Porsche app, just 5 stage milestones, only the last 3 meaning anything.
My production “started” 16th April, due to pick up 1st December, yippee.
Could I ask how long it has taken from locking in your spec to expected delivery?
