UK: When did you order and when did (or will) your car arrive?

[B61]

Understood.... I just wanted to say, that off-road package doesn't bring you any additional mm...
Otherwise, I live on a country as well
Also, I have some roads of gravel roads when I drive on a shooting range.

I originally looked at the saloon, didn't even know the CT existed. Very pleased with what the CT offers.

@MJDCT: my suggestion - post your build here and youl'll get feedback from experienced owners.
If I'd found this forum before, I'd save few thousands euros for sure.

I think you have misunderstood… the forum usually costs a few thousand extra as you will have pointed out all of the must haves that You didn’t know you needed!

Did you order from Silverstone Porsche? ...................

North London. I’ve just received an email confirming I have a build for Oct/Nov not exactly perfect but at least it’s moving ahead…

Hi all .... paid the deposit on a 4S+ on the 5th August and awaiting to hear from the dealer re specifics. His comment on 'lead time' was that probably could expect 1st Qtr 2022.

Update on my CT4 - went into production 23 July but unknown a to when it will arrive, or even whether it's stuck for missing parts. It has, apparently, been given a chassis number...

I wish you the best of luck - my CT4 was supposed to be in production mid June, then 7th July and then 15th July - currently no idea of where it is let alone if it has a chassis number. Phoned OPC last Thursday (12th August) for update - couldn't talk to me but would ring back. Glad I didn't hold my breath because I still haven't heard anything from them!!

Just had the call - now delayed until September...

 

[MJDCT]

Its not looking for any orders, i'm wondering how far back mine will be pushed! Has anyone actually had theirs in the last 6 months on time?

 

[Chubbs85240]

quick question - how come there was such a delay and was it Tusker? I ordered via salary sacrifice with them in December and now delayed again till August (from April, month and month)

So I got an update that my car is in production/produced but is waiting on something (semi conductor?) and should be now ready mid Sept. not holding my breath

 

[Fish Fingers]

A couple of sources (including my OPC) have said obout the air suspension issues / flood in addition to semi conducters.

Just received an email from the dealer having asked the question as to any news on 'build date' ... the reply was as follows;

"I probably won't get allocation until the end of the year/January as delivery is likely to be around March/April time, if that does come forward though I will let you know of course."

Does seem a strange system whereby a factory, that clearly has to schedule its work, cannot start to provide better details, even if they are only approximate, to the dealer

 

[tigerbalm]

If your dealer doesn't have an allocation, then they don't have a car to sell to you. Right now, as far as Porsche is concerned, you're an expression of interest. Until you have a commission number (which requires an allocation) you have nothing concrete. Porsche factory doesn't know about your order or spec yet. You are not in any queue in the factory - your dealer is in (hopefully) a queue to be able to create an order, which they've indicated they hope to get at the end of the year or start of next year. That's really when your ordering clock starts.

At least thats the way it works here in Ireland.

 

[IainSmith]

I echo this.
your simply a name on a spreadsheet at the dealership at this moment.
they guesstimate how many allocations Porsche Germany will send them per month, then they try to give guidance accordingly.

EG: I was number 7 on the dealership spreadsheet in April and I have a official build slot now for October… but I did not get the official slot allocated until the end of July

Update on my order. It has sat on the floor at the factory not moving since the beginning of August. OPC hopes it will move during September - I’m filled with confidence (not) ?

That's what I got told too...though I'm inclined to replace "factory" with "field"...I can't believe the factory has that much room for unfinished cars
