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.

Smoke screen to hide the heater disaster no doubt.
Total smoke screen, blaming a year old war and covid for everything is a big stretch as we are well into 2023 now and other automakers figured it out, so much so, that here state side, they are stalling plants (near me) so they slowed down pickup truck production as supply on the lots is getting out of hand going beyond 60 days, so instead of making more and discounting, which would be like the good old days, they would rather make less and sell at MSRP or above creating artificial shortage to keep the prices high, as dealers are now hooked on the high of everything selling by itself with no discounts.

These kinds of statements cost them all kinds of credibility as we are in the thick of it and know what's really going on. They need to figure out how to find someone who can make the heaters. There was no problem getting someone making tons of breathing machines when they were needed during covid with piles of them in the background during governor speeches. We know it is possible.

Mine took from July 2021 until December 2022, about 1 year longer than I had been expecting.

It was discussed at length soon after Russia invaded Ukraine but a big company in Ukraine made the wiring harnesses for a lot of car makers.

I find it weird that Ukrainian electronics manufacturers are having issues. All the facilities are in the western parts of the country and all copper is imported from somewhere else. Possible cause might be sea ports but trucking companies picked up the pace significantly (I believe more than 200%) to compensate for other supply bottlenecks. It feels like an artificially created deficit to drive the prices up.
