Can confirm that new vehicles produced from CW40 onwards are equipped with 12V starter battery and delivered to the customers. For cars at the dealer w/o 12V battery the supply of the battery is delayed by at least 4 weeks. My dealer recieved only one set of battery in the last 2 weeks, white 16 Taycans are waiting in the garage.

I hope that orders will be completed before the new facelift model is on the market - pictures are availabile already - really disappointing for those customers

So I emailed my dealer today on any new Information regarding when my car will be delivered with the 12v battery fitted (it was produced end of July) and he said he was still
In the dark on when the car arrive in the UK, however he gave me the following info direct from Porsche headquarters;

“For the vehicles produced prior to cw38, affected by the 12v campaign, the retro-fit will commence mid-October. Once the retro-fit is completed, the 4271 blocking code will be removed and the vehicles will be released for transport to Emden.”

According to the factory system, my car entered production in cw38, and was confirmed complete only in cw43, but then moved to the compound where it has been waiting for a 12v battery for almost 4 weeks now... who knows when it will actually get one. I understand some have had "completed" cars waiting 3 months for a 12v battery, so I'm preparing myself for the same...

My car was completed on July 8 (CW28) and was stored in Porsche Werk 12 facility for almost 3 months until it got to Emden on September 22 (CW39) and finally got on Glovis Stella earlier this month (November 3, CW45).

So curious... for those of you who have finally received your car, what is the date of manufacture? The date it was completed without the battery or with?

The VIN number on my car, finished in July, is of a 22 model. I still have no news as to when I will get it.
The warranty starts on the day you take delivery. I asked.

Mine was on the Stella as well. I hear that it is stuck at Benicia wanting for a 12V battery. Word is that there is a decent chance that it will reach the dealer by the end of the year, but who really knows ....
