I can't answer your question exactly, but I think it's around two months before your build date, roughly.

Oh, and reading the thread title, I thought this was you posting from inside your car and you were asking for help.

Ask him for the order status in the Porsche Order System. V210 is order locked. There is a sticky thread with all the status codes. If not locked then the system will say the planned lock date although this can and often does change.

You will already be locked in at this point. The tracking only starts once your order has been formalised (not at deposit time per se) and then submitted to Porsche / Porsche factory system. From that point you have a very short time to make any (if any) changes. By stage two you will already be locked.

My order went to stage 2 two months before being locked.

My order went to stage 2 two months before being locked.

My (expected) lock date kept changing. It was a bit crazy.

Planned was 9 Sept and Expected was 16 Sept (OK within a week). Then expected shifted to 28 October.

Stage 3 "Your vehicle is now scheduled for Production" - was notified by My Porsche on 21 August. The car didn't actually get finished until the end of November.

My order went to stage 2 two months before being locked.

Mine went to locked 2 weeks after order placed with Porsche factory. Currently at stage 2 (for several weeks now), reservation fee paid Sep'21, deposit paid 17/11/21, final spec submitted 19/11/22 and locked 2 weeks after that.

In summary, it is as clear and predictable as mud!

These lock dates are production dates are a mess. Mine has been locked since 23 Dec but still at stage 2. Even if it goes to Stage 3 I'm not convinced it will meet the 24 Feb delivery date. Seems a total lottery and dates are often + or - 3 months. So I might get it by May. Which is what the SA put on my order so he knows how rubbish the factory are on scheduling production.

 

[W1NGE]

Factory schedule is the 'gospel' according to Porsche - SAs are well SAs.

There are so many variables and production challenges (many discussed / guessed at on this forum) which can (and do) interfere with the various order and production phases (not all of it public). I have been a similar Feb production date too and a March delivery via the dealership but the app doesn't.

I would just sit back and be patient.

My journey is almost exactly the same. The order was a little later than W1NGE (Jan 2022) however the final spec and lock dates are identical.
Build 20th Feb, delivery mid to late March. (Approx)

Ha Ha However i've been locked out my Cayenne every morning it has has been -1c or more I have to wait till it warms up to get in was told by porsche to spray WD40 on the locks and put some silicon grease on the door seals.

How do you guys know the production date. I've seen a screen shot of my order in the Posrsche system and it only shows a forecast delivery date of 24 feb?

Dealer quoted the dates but I don't bother asking. It will arrive when it arrives!

I've asked my dealer and he doesn't seem to know. It must be somewhere in the Porsche System. He may know it but not telling le due to it's volatility.
