Bike rack not available - still no ETA

[Mtljckt]

I'm getting close to one year after my car's delivery, the bike rack is still not in sight, although Porsche is heavily advertising it as one of the best feature of the Cross Turismo (which really is). It was one of the things that made me decide for the CT.
Now my dealer says that despite having open a few tickets with them, Porsche is not providing an ETA of any sort. As spring is here, I'd like to use my bikes.
Did anyone purchase this bike rack or has an alternative?

Have you actually placed an order or are you just waiting for it to come into your dealer?

I've used the seasucker bike mounts on two previous vehicles - a 718 Cayman followed by a Carrera T - and plan to use them on my Taycan (when I take delivery this Friday ). Never had a problem with them. That said, clearly this solution is less secure than racks.

Pretty sure Ken Block is rocking a suction cup based cargo box on his etron GT RS that he took around Laguna Seca so it’s dependent on some things like checking the cups regularly.

There is a Chinese company with an automated system that will detect low pressure and automatically pump the air out. Not sure if it’s in production yet.

I asked the dealer if I can place a quote. Do you suggest ordering online directly might be successful?

I have the factory bike carrier & am not happy with it. Much discussion on the Forum as to this alternative which I consider to be better than the factory rack - https://www.taycanforum.com/forum/threads/custom-rear-bike-rack-installed-with-1up-trays.8777/

I canceled my order yesterday. I will build it as describe in an other tread. Pretty simple to do. Kind of.

A group order for an alternative rack is being put together per this link.

I also loved mine for awhile. It is currently at the Dealer awaiting a repair kit from Porsche. Will most likely return it and go with the 1Up option.

Is there a 1-up option for the rear? I haven't seen that and it is not shown in the tequipment catalogue.

Check out the thread HERE. One of the site members has come up with his own solution.
