I thought it would be nice to see how long some people have been waiting for their Taycan to be delivered from the date of deposit to point of delivery (or if not taken delivery yet...how long it's been so far!)

I'll edit this top post to name and congratulate the most patient (frustrated/unlucky) member!

To start it off here are my dates:

Deposit - April 2021
Delivery - Due September 2022
Model - Taycan 4S ST

Total wait - 17 months!! - Disclaimer ST model not announced until Jan 2022 so real wait 9 months.

-----------------------------

LeaderBoard:

@smohr33 - April 2021 - Present (No delivery date) 15 months
@f1eng - July 2021 - Present (No delivery date) 12 months

I have a deposit on a car that I didn't order, I came across it a couple months ago when the original buyer backed out.

I have no idea when the original buyer placed their orginial deposit or order, but the car started production 7/4/2021 and it still hasn't been delivered, it's a 2021.

I imagine quite a lot of that wait was the months before the 4S ST was announced though, no? The GTS was the first of the Sports Turismo and that not long ago too wasn’t it?

My CT 4S deposit 19th July ‘21, car in build now but delayed and no delivery date still.

Yes that's true, ST did not get announced in all body shapes until January 2022...so if I look at it that way it's only been 7 months! But porsche have had my deposit for 15 months.

I think out of fairness on when the deposit for an actual confirmed model was made yours is close to being the longest...but @smohr33 seems to be the winner on a MY21 car not yet delivered!

TYD shows 8/5 delivery for me BTW, but the car has multiple pending recalls and a stop sale which is one excuse why it's still at the port. 8/5 could be a random placehoder, but I'm hopeful to see the car soon. The TYD timeline for the car is really fascinating, literally every process had a major delay.

Have faith, Frank. I was 3 weeks behind you with a deposit (8/8/21) and I have just heard from my dealer that he thinks my CT4S has been built, has a 12V battery and is in transit. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I placed my deposit for a 4S CT October '21 and have just been given a build of September '22 which is slightly sooner than their estimated November '22. I assume this is due to the GTS and the ST body coming along and people moving their orders over.

I'll have to wait and see if September build really happens 🤞

Ordered GTS ST Feb 28th this year, no firm date but been told to expect November 30th 2023 (quite specific I admit….) - that would be 21 months, if that even happens.
This is thru Cambridge

If you count the waiting from the deposit, I was on the same boat.
- Deposit on May 2019 on a CT4S even though it was not announced yet
- Order finalised on March 2021
- Planned delivery date July 2021 and was part of the batch that was half produced
- Delivered in January 2022

20 months waiting and still don't have the electric steering wheel but with the announcement, it seems that we'll get at least the same PCM.
