I'm excited for you! Living vicariously through you while mine's stuck somewhere in Germany.

When was yours build complete?

Not sure on build complete date, but ordered it in October.

No Car today, there is an error code they can't sort out and are having to speak with Germany to try and solve. Not exactly promising tomorrow either based on when the error code is sorted or not.

boo

Car not ready again today, error codes still not getting sorted.. no idea when, apparently 5 cars all have the same fault waiting to go out from Porsche Teesside, supposedly mine is first in line and getting worked on first (as it failed first)..

Better they fix now before you get it. I have had 1 error code and the instrument cluster pack up after receiving. It is frustrating but worth the wait in the long run!

Maybe it is the Geordie sound module?

Ugh sorry to hear you have to deal with these unforseen delays.

Also stories like these is why I'm superstitious, don't want to jinx myself and don't openly post about receiving something until it's safely in hand 😆

Picked up the car Saturday 4pm.

As the cover came off, it was a bit of a wow moment knowing this one is yours..
Very happy with choices / upgrades we threw at it.. (over 20K's worth in the end) The Carbon pack was 3K plus I think and at the time felt a bit extravagant, but it just finished the look off well.

At 99% it showed 200 miles and I am a little worried that the additional battery power was not added, but I have been told it does have the additional battery power, I hope/assume that as we drive it more normally we will see the range extend.

Back on Wednesday for the masterclass which we need I think.

All in all, this is an amazing car and boy when you put your foot to the floor for the first time..

Drove straight out into the rain which was a bit gutting to lose that new car cleanliness within 5 miles.
