UK order status and delays?

[BB8]

out of curiosity, which dealer did you get with Lex? Cambridge?

London, can't remember if South or East though. I only asked last week.
I've not been on the phone hassling for delivery dates, just taking it all in my stride

One of my main learnings from this forum is that if I order a Taycan again and don't want to wait forever I should do so from Reading

From locked spec.(after allocation) then 12 weeks or less. For example - lock in late November then build late Jan and delivery end Feb / early March.

So just to update on the drama of my delivery (photo of the car at the dealer in profile pic)

1. Initial Deposit April 2021 - to pre-reserve a slot for the at that time not announced GTS
2. Nov 2021 (ish) GTS announced....soon followed by ST in all variants - confirmed reservation on 4S ST
3. April 2022 - car finally locked in build
4. July 2022 - build completed - stuck in Germany with no Battery
5. Nov 2022 - car finally arrived at dealer - pick up scheduled 1st Dec 2022 @ 5pm
6. 1st Dec 2022 @ 11am call from dealer stating car has failed PDI with a heater issue - part ordered with ETA 7th Dec
7. 8th Dec 2022 - part still not arrived
8. 10th Dec 2022 - Dealer provides me with a Cayenne GTS
9. As of today (13th Dec 2022) - still no word on when the part may arrive

Overall a total and utter mess, but I am enjoying the Cayenne GTS V8 4.0 litre....one last blast in an ICE car with an amazing exhaust sound and some nice options. Ractex steering wheel is very comfortable and particularly liking the HUD....wishing I had added that to my Taycan build now!

Who knows when I will actually get my car....

I hope they’re footing the fuel bill!

20mpg isn't fun!! Had my first trip to a petrol station in 3 years which was an eye opener!

To be fair my RS4 was averaging 16.7 mpg some weeks last winter,
That said, work gave me a loan of a Tesla 3 Performance on a 69 plate. It's the version pre-heat pump and its absolutely chronic in cold temperatures. Full charge its stating 303 miles. This week, I've covered 120 miles and now have 20 miles left!
My mates 10-year-old Lamborghini Gallardo is better than that!

Agreed, I have a 69 plate Telsa 3 Performance and it's great in the summer but range drops considerably in winter. I have a 800 mile round trip to plymouth coming next week and although I prefer the comfort of the Cayenne estimated fuel bills for that journey is around £400...I'll be taking the Tesla! Price below assumes using Tesla Super Charger at 67p per kWh (I'll be charging up to 100% for the first part of the journey on Octopus Go Tariff at 7.5p per kWh) so will be a bit less than the estimated £134

I suspect the range will improve on the journey as the battery temp will improve etc. You might see 200 miles if you are lucky!

20mpg isn't fun!! Had my first trip to a petrol station in 3 years which was an eye opener!

My 1991 Merc 500E which I have had from new did 22mpg driving carefully and 9 mpg using its performance.
A main reason to buy the Taycan actually.
Filling it up was already getting stupid 10 years ago.

Our Prius PHEV rarely uses petrol at all because most journeys are within its range but travelling my most used long route it does 65 to 70 mpg whilst sticking to speed limits and not needing to stop - so is actually quicker on that route than the Taycan in winter

The Taycan also uses about double the electricity per mile, which isn’t surprising given the 600kg weight difference and the tyre width. No surprise or disappointment though. It is quieter, more comfortable and the standard stereo surprised us by how good it was on the sort of music we like yippee.

Glad after everything you finally have your car and are delighted with it.

Great spec as well!

Hopefully mine will arrive at some point this decade...
