If you're in the market for a brand-new Porsche Taycan and want to place an order, the automaker is asking for patience with the delivery.
Porsche estimates that new customers will have to wait between six and nine months to take delivery of their Taycan EVs, CEO Oliver Blume said yesterday after the company's general annual meeting.
The delays are caused by complex factors, including geopolitics and the pandemic, which affected Taycan sales last year. Porsche delivered 34,801 units in 2022, down 16 percent from the previous year.
Blume said Russia's invasion of Ukraine halted Taycan production for "several weeks" last year. "One hundred percent of all wire harnesses for the Taycan came from Ukraine," the executive said on a media call following the company's 2022 earnings report on March 13.
Another major cause for lower Taycan production and deliveries last year was represented by COVID-related shutdowns in China, which is a major source of semiconductors. That said, Porsche's CEO noted the carmaker is working around the supply bottlenecks and expects to deliver at least 40,000 Taycan EVs worldwide this year.
"We have a very strong order bank, very strong order intake at this point. But we have to manage the supply chain shortages," Porsche CFO Lutz Meschke said on the call according to Automotive News.
