My 2022 Taycan GTS was just delivered! I feel fortunate that my wait time was very short in comparison to may here and I was able to spec my car exactly as I wanted it and paid MSRP. Here is my time line so others can use it for reference.

Ordered 3/21/22
Locked 4/4/22
Scheduled for production 4/12/22
Production started 5/13/22
Production complete 5/24/22
On ship 6/8/22
Arrival Baltimore: 6/20/22
Port Processing: 6/22/22
Arrival at dealer: 6/23/22
Delivery 6/28/22

Spec:
Chalk over Bordeaux
Premium package
Rear wheel steering
RS Spyder wheels
2+1 Rear seat
Ventilated front seats
Heated rear seats
Intelligent Range Manager

At delivery I decide to purchase the Porsche wheel and tire package 48 month cover
MSRP $2380
Negotiated price $2150
Unlimited wheel and tire replacement for 48 moths with $50 deductible per occurrence
8 cosmetic repairs with no deductible
$50 transfer fee if the car is sold or you can obtain a prorated refund

The good:
Handling, acceleration, ride, fit and finish, interior noise, Bose Stereo, looks

The not so good:
Comfort access doesn’t always work (have key in pocket and put hand under door handle and it won’t open)
It occasionally switches into private mode so the app no longer can control things, unlock doors, see charging

Mods/Accessories so far:
Xpel PPF over entire front end
Xpel Ceramic tint 20% all around
Cquartz UK 3.0 ceramic coat entire car and wheels
Porsche Rubber mats, frunk and trunk mats
Proclip phone holder with red iPhone USB-C cable
Gray key fob shell

How did you take delivery? Not effected by the current PCM stop sale?

Three months from order to delivery! Considering the wait times many people have been saddled with that is incredibly fast, especially as the car had an ocean to cross. That is a sweet looking ride to boot, I like the interplay between the monochrome exterior and the bright red of the interior and brake calipers.

Damn! That makes 3 of us now with a GTS sedan chalk on Bordeaux red. Seems like a popular combat and looks very good!

No idea. I haven’t heard anything about a stop sale. My sales guy and the store manager didn’t mention anything. Car arrived, was prepped and I picked it up. So far everything has worked fine.

I am near Chicago and mine is scheduled to come through the Baltimore post just like the OP. I am still hoping it is a mistake and made the boat but looks doubtful.

The not so good:
Comfort access doesn’t always work (have key in pocket and put hand under door handle and it won’t open)
I saw the outside pictures and thought, oh yet another Chalk (Carmine Red / Bordeaux fanboi), and then you open the door. Stunning. Love Bordeaux and never seen it in Chalk. Salute. Looks amazing. Grats on a stunner...! Incredible contrast. Would never have thought it.


As for the comfort access, if the driver door doesn't open try the rear passenger. That will. Half the time I try the driver door it ignores me, so I look shifty and then reach over to the rear. No doubt people think I am trying the handles to break in. Go figure

By any chance did you spec the Burmester sound system? My GTS was built on 06/24. My SA told me that the car was built without the Burmester amp and that it would need to be fitted either while it's at port (I didn't ask him if origin or destination port) or at the dealership. FYI My car was delivered to Emden on 06/28, the next ship to Houston docked Emden on 07/01 but I've yet to get confirmation that it was loaded on the vessel.

I placed my GTS order only 2.5 weeks later and not only was I told I'm going to be pushed into a 2023 MY, my salesman can't even tell me what my build date is or when I'll get my car other than "it's definitely looking like end of the year."
