BOSE Delays

[tigerbalm]

So does anyone actually know if it is just being removed as an option on cars where it is not standard or if it is also being removed from those where it is standard spec? How much of a hit would you take selling a Turbo or Turbo S in 3 years with the basic sound system When Bose is supposed to be standard?

I know for sure that my Turbo S that is being built in two-ish weeks time will have the BOSE in the build as per the standard spec.

My guess is they pulled the Bose from configurations that either are not past freeze date or either in production.

this way they can save them for the Turbo S configs where Bose is standard.

If the shortage continues they will also use those from configs past freeze date but not in production yet.

I'm pretty sure its a temporary arrangement and will re-appear on all Porsche models.

Yes, maybe I should cancel my order and try again later.

It does make it quieter. Being in Ireland – we don't get to test "thermal benefits" too frequently!

What about the sound of rain beating against the windows.

Is that quieter?

Useful to know for Manchester too

Sure, you'd never bring a Taycan out in the rain – get electrocuted!

I have my Taycan Sport Turismo (RDW) on order since May 28, but it was an existing order which was closing in on it's freeze-date.
It was meant to be delivered end of August, than end of september.

I just spoke to my Sales guy yesterday. He said it should come out of the factory October 10. I specifically asked him about BOSE. Called me back 15 minutes later after doing some research and told me my car will definitely have the ordered BOSE..

(I don't mind the delays, although I'm not very patient, but no BOSE would be a very big dissappointment. I'm reassured now and hope/assume he must be right.

Hope yours has the 12V..

I am in Australia and this is the message I have received from the dealership.

Porsche and they unfortunately are no longer able to supply the Bose / Burmester sound system as an option on any of their models moving forward. This is due to a supply issue with some of the components.

if I do not go ahead, I may have to wait till 2024. My car enters production end of November.

so no Bose and Burmester. This is laughable to have people stuck with that base audio lol

I wonder if this means that it will still be there when Bose is standard but not available to choose as an option, or whether it means they can’t get it for anyone?
And what price reduction or compensation will be on offer for Turbo/Turbo S customers if it is removed from their build as I suspect most would be unhappy with £1000

Hmmm. Need to check with dealer this week if my Turbo due to be built in 2 weeks will have Bose fitted…or not.

I assume (but am not sure), the BOSE delete/stop sale only applies to new orders.

FWIW: I just checked the Porsche Configurator (in the Netherlands), but it still shows BOSE and Burmester, even for a Taycan RDW

My CT 4S was locked in on Sep 17th and was supposed to be being built now but when I rang for an update Saturday my car was unlocked and now isn't locked for another week or so with an estimated build in two weeks time.

I didn't ask about Bose specifically but did ask if there was a reason for the delay and if my build was still all available and he said that he can't see any issues and all should be fine. I have Bose spec'd so I'm just hoping my car turns up with it.

Mine had a planned V250 lock date of 9 September and expected date of 16 September. That was from a build schedule I received back in early August.

I need to check again really as it’s getting very close to the supposed production date.
