Yes guys/gals this isn't just a Porsche problem but a global one amongst all vehicle manufacturers; some cars are shipping others are not but almost all are being delayed in some format or a good portion of them. Not 100% but enough to affect the supply chain and overall deliveries. Look at the other forums and folks with Macans and definitely 992s can't get their cars either. They cannot even get 992 allocations in many areas. Porsche has cut production numbers due to some of this and still my SA says they're having problems with the chips they have avail getting into production vehicles. Folks that do get cars are getting them without TPMS, power steering, often 1 key fob and depending how much you optioned out your car a lot less stuff. Sub contractors are having issues too so its a mess out there and likely to be so thru the Fall of 2021 and well into 2022. As for the tax credit thing..yeah it helps but really nothing has been set in stone yet on that either and likely won't see that withdrawal of the $7500 tax credit pass in the remaining 60 days left in the CY 2021 to be enacted by 31 Dec 2021....now Dec 2022 all bets are off but likely given the push for EV's and lack of supply it'd be crazy to introduce as it would stifle the very EV growth and purchases that the current administration wants and needs in order for EVs to grow!I t
Sorry to hear that
I think given the current state of affairs with massive shipping problems (which are going to get worse) that’s going to be the “new” normal....
I too have an allocation and commission number for an order placed in July 2021 for a Nov 2021 build and Feb 2022 delivery for a 2022 CT4. Given the above I am okay with taking delivery when the car arrives and knowing it may be later than I wanted by a few weeks. Nothing I can do about it and given the shortages and issues there is someone waiting for my spot should i cancel I am sure. Last discussion the lines are about 1/2 dozen deep at most dealerships who still don't have adequate allocations vs perspective orders so I'll not loose my place in line for a frustration that neither I nor really Porsche can fully fix. Take a look around at many local dealership guys and you'll see a darth of new cars...some luxury car dealerships have more used cars and those by other marques on the lot than new ones! My old BMW dealership a large one on the East coast has 11 cars online in stock and 110 in transit if that tells you something. My dealer has not seen a free and open 992 in months...all already sold and trickling in. So yeah my advice to those inpatient for their cars is yes understand it...but learned a long time ago that you getting frustrated and flailing at something beyond your control does really nothing but wear out your piece of mind and energy with the same result....hopefully things will get better sooner or later.
