pics we on My Porsche App, clicking on “Discover Current Phase”
We went for the basic Taycan with some of our favoured options, pan roof, Turbo 20inch wheels and a few others.
Very nice, I understand that all models are great fun. I went for the base Cross Turismo, Turbo S aero wheels and Pano roof, plus a couple of other cosmetic things. Hopefully it will be here in time for Christmas. Thanks for the info too. I will keep checking the app.

expect to see lots of photos folks! :D.. whilst I sit patiently twiddling my thumbs.

need to go look for a decent smart repair place and fix up my current car and the kerb rash I've been ignoring... looking at selling via Car wow/motoway and the like.. another assumption that they'd take more off the price for the alloy damage then the cost of repairing them..

Great, Colchester for me. What about you?
Well hope your collection has gone better than mine.

Long story short, finance error with my driving licence. Ended up being flagged as possible fraud. All good now they’ve seen it but can’t remove fraud flag without speaking to fraud department. They don’t open weekends.

Dealership very peed off (as you can imagine I am too) with the finance company. They said seeing physical licence alone would have been fine when spoke yesterday.

Aaaagh.

Oh nooo, so sorry to hear. Yes I did manage to collect mine. The experience was ‘ok’, I assumed the car would be inside for a ‘reveal’, but sadly not. It was outside in the rain… I missed the cut as there were a few inside with covers. It did not take long to get over the initial disappointment though as the staff were very friendly and could not do enough, and it was very busy. The wife and kids were enjoying themselves and my wife wants a Maycan now…

The car is amazing, could not be happier. Lots to get my head around, but this forum is amazing for info. I will get bored of the sports sound, but for now that novelty has not worn off…! It was 85% charged on collection showing 185 miles, I know that will improve so thats all good.

Managed to get OI connected. I did something wrong as I was planning on connecting via the charger, but it connected to the car. The enode charging schedule has been downloaded to the car for tonight and is the ticked profile, but I am as confused i was expecting… any advice here appreciated.

The default box has been ticked for ‘preferred’ charging period. This is set at 6am-2pm (I did not set this). I think this should be ticked as ‘optimised’ but not sure. The min charge is set to 25% (I think this 25% is the min charge, not the max or it wont charge tonight). Within the Octopus App the charging schedule is showing 12am-5.30am so as expected with a charging limit of 85%. I probably need to put this charging query on another thread..

Sorry to hear Paul that you did not get your car, gutted for you.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will get to pick it up next week, and get to enjoy the experience of picking it up and driving it.

That is such a nice spec. Matt. Sorry to hear the experience was not 100%, but what a car to drive home with...! Enjoy.

Sorry to hear the collection experience wasn’t the best but glad to hear you got it ok and seems to hit the right spot!

I’ve ordered exact same colour albeit mine is a 4 not 4s - so seeing your pics makes me happy for you and jealous for me ?. Oh well, I’ll get it next week (hopefully!). I had the opposite experience as well - mine was indoors all ready.

Enjoy tho - looks fantastic ?

Thanks Mark. Fingers crossed. This is how close I got today. I also saw them finalise prep as I walked in so saw it before cover went on but tried to look away!

To be fair to the dealer, they sorted a car for me. Initially said it was a Taycan but I said I didn’t want one, wanted the first proper experience to be my own so they managed to get me a 73 plate new model Cayenne coupe.

Sounds like the Dealer has done what they can to help, which is nice to see. Hope all goes well next week. I have a 4CT on it's way, but it will be a few more weeks (finished production this week, and was on it's way to Emden by Thursday). I went for white, so I could go for some other options. Had to keep within £90k under my work scheme, so had to choose options carefully. I look forward to the pics of your new car.

Yeah to be fair I can’t fault the dealer, they were angry and embarrassed themselves today. Thing is I totally get the reason it’s been flagged (I work in IT security so understand) but the finance company gave the wrong info yesterday.

Mine was produced 28th October so pretty quick turnaround - hope you enjoy yours when it arrives ?

That's fair enough then. I guess it only takes a small detail to be incorrect for this to go wrong. Thanks. I am looking forward to it. First Porsche, first full electric. At the moment, they are saying mid Dec. So not too long now.
