I heard that Porsche delay production every time there's a full moon.

Bugger. I'm making my second attempt at visiting the Taycan Factory next Thursday. Looks like there's going to be no point doing the six hour drive from Holland to Stuttgart. My dad is coming from the UK to join me on it. All completely pointless now.

Did you read the article, or just the headline? Look at the dateline on it.

My car is suppose to go into production 3/17/23 but TYD shows error so i can't see if it actually changed.

This thread needs a disclaimer that the article refers to 2022 or the thread title needs to be edited.

I read the article, thank you. Carefully, and in full. What I missed is one small, single digit, at the very top of the article, not in the main body of text. After also hearing from two other sources this week that production was possibly being stopped due to the faulty heaters, and that this thread was created today, I was clearly taken down a certain garden path. Mitigating, I was rushing to read it as I saw this thread just before I was due back at work from my break, controlling a busy piece of airspace over central Europe where, ironically, attention to detail and reading numbers quickly is quite important. I can't promise to hold a full incident investigation, but I do apologise for not being more careful.

I probably had an advantage, as I've been following the production saga(s) long enough to recognize the wiring harness issue was from last spring/summer.

Wasn't meant to be a criticism. We're all equally excited/frustrated/on edge regarding when our orders will be delivered.

ETA...my point was to communicate you don't need to change your plans. It seems you should still be able to visit the factory, and watch them put faulty heater components in new cars to be held at ports awaiting functional replacements.

Yes, it is a huge relief. We had non-refundable hotels booked and it's our second attempt to visit the Taycan factory, also.

I'm expecting a perplexed employee of the museum to read my email this morning wondering why I think the factory is being shut down for a week.

I hope it doesn't give the managers on the production line any ideas of how to solve the bottlenecks...
