I agree, new ones are being delayed in some cases till Q1 2022. Had a friend placed an order a week ago and they told him expect around March of next year.
Based on my convo's with Porsche today, I'd add 30-60 days to whatever estimates they are giving.

A September week 1 freeze date would likely be delivered Jan end, you think?

the issue with selling such a high value car is finding a buyer that can come up with that kind of money, I don't know if a bank would underwrite a loan for the transaction.

Do you have more pictures of your ride?
Ah ok, this is the rwd, I thought you meant a 4S, one I had missed ?
I did write 4s. I fixed it. :D

Mine? I don't, it's closed up in my garage now and I'm away for 3 weeks. I can take more when I get back, but the video I posted is pretty representative of it - I only drove it ~150mi after that video (not even a full charge).

There is a big chance it might be February. Keep in mind that things close down around the holidays (like mid-December until early January).

In normal times a Sept 7th Freeze date would be delivered to a LA Dealer around Dec 1. I have a 10/15 Freeze date with 1/7/22 delivery to the Dealer. I’m figuring I will get it in Feb. I’m in Ca.

For what it's worth - had a few offers in the mid $130k's. It hasn't been listed for too long yet, so will see if I can get closer to $150k, but surprisingly there is a good amount of interest (considering the car is bright green lol).

I would think bright green would be a desirable color for a Porsche. I love it

Black, white and silver seem to always be the favorites

Wholesale on your car is $135-$137

Sounds about right. I have some *bonus* items with it - ie: free 2year/20k mi service, matts, etc.. should hopefully push me to mid/high 140's for private party.

And yeah, I agree - black/white/silvers are always the easier sells at the dealerships for some reason. I think the green is one of the best colors for the Taycan.

@amelen : I still think that you should keep it. Afterall, if you are planning to use it in a year, you’ll have to place an order for new one any day now if you want to get in till next summer.
Just my $0.02 …of course, your car, your wallet :like:

It's certainly an option. Just not sure if I'm going to need it even in a year - everything is so uncertain with the current COVID situation. If I can't sell it for a decent price, I'll will definitely just keep it - it's the best car I've ever owned (and I've owned tons).
