My car is allegedly due to Porsche Nottingham on the 22nd of July (I'm not holding my breath). Just wondered in the UK what's people experience of timescales once it's at the dealer to you then being invited to collect it? Cheers. Wayne.

Depends...

If there is nothing to be 'added' to the car due to the supply chain challenge (some components may be added by the dealer post production e.g. tyre pressure monitoring sensors (TPMS), ceramic coating (if requested), PPF (if requested) then within 48 hrs of your car being at the dealer.

Note there will be a pre-delivery inspection (PDI), likely some software upgrades, car registration etc and the dealer may be busy.

Ask your dealer for the typical turnaround.

My experience for both my Taycan purchases is that you could get invited (date to collect the car) before it’s arrived at the dealership. Planning collection in anticipation of its arrival. That’s clearly a little unorthodox and carries a bit of risk - talk to your dealer as they readily accept the excitement & anticipation for customers with orders is “through the roof” - it will depend on their workshop prep and handover availability (Porsche dealers like a fan fare handover and prob are limited to 3-4 car handovers a day. Usual prep / turnaround time when car is delivered to dealer from port (Grimsby port for Nottingham I’d guess) is 48-72hrs.
Best of luck. (If it’s stated as 22/7/22 then at this stage I’d reckon the car hasn’t left the factory for Emden port) It’s 10 days to prob get thru the port, to U.K. and reach your dealer.

I had my collection date penciled in with the dealer once it had arrived at PDI place. They said it normally takes about 1 week to arrive, pdi, get delivered to their head office, then to their dealership etc. So booked collection on that basis. I think it actually came couple of days before that in the end, so i got it 'early'.

Hi Wayne… how about some real time feedback 😀. My car arrived at the dealers 16:00 last night. Picking up 09:30 Thursday. So basically 2 working days to go through workshop, get registered, have software updated etc. Did take 6 weeks to get from ‘exit production’ to the dealers.. but 2 days once the dealer has it.

Cheers all. Seems the avg is a few days. Yup I'll call the dealer in a couple of weeks I think. Pointless at the moment. I live up in the NE so Nottingham isn't just round the corner. Should make for a decent journey time back home to hoon around.

I'll dealing with the same PC. The car was to have arrived with them on Monday 13th June, the first day of my salesman's week's holiday!

He wanted to do the handover, we were fine with that and thought we had verbally agreed a collection date of 23rd June (a Thursday is important for us).

Trying to tie this down today before making payment, but the guy I need to speak to is "always just with another customer at the moment", aarghh!!!

They seem quite good so far but that's because we aren't in the detail of delivery yet! Hopefully it goods ok but there's been so many delays since i ordered last June that I'm hugely cynical about the whole thing!

That aligns pretty much with my earlier post … secure the date once it’s on car freight ship from Emden from your OPC

If it is the end of the month or quarter they may turn it around in less than 24 hours to make their numbers.
