Congrats, that's a color I would really like to see in person, Christmas in April looks to be the themeApril 12, Frozen Blue Metallic, Truffle Brown interior.
Order already placed and full deposit paid to the dealer so I'm good. I am also OK getting the car when I get it, knowing the stages it is at in production will not speed up the process it is what it is. This is my 5th EV and everyone of them arrived late had either production delays or government red tape to deal with. Im keeping my expectations low with regard to the delivery date...Change dealer!
Ridiculous answer from a dealer! They are there to serve the Customer not the other way around!
The amount is up to the dealer. I have seen $5k and around 10%. But in both cases they were non-refundable.How much of a deposit are they requiring on the 4S? 10%? Is it refundable?

US$2500 (longtime repeat customer) April 10th delivery Decided to go all out with Mamba Green w/Black interior and interior trim matching exterior color (color in person looks so different than online).How much of a deposit are they requiring on the 4S? 10%? Is it refundable?
Interesting Im a repeat customer also and I put $1,000 down in March 2018 which was refundable they still asked for 10k to place the order which is non refundable.US$2500 (longtime repeat customer) April 10th delivery Decided to go all out with Mamba Green w/Black interior and interior trim matching exterior color (color in person looks so different than online).
It is interesting the difference among dealers. I asked to be placed on the waiting list the week the Mission E was announced, so I have been waiting for several years. Earlier this year, the dealer called to tell me I was number 2 on their list and to confirm my interest. I was asked to fill out the online registration form. I did not need to put down any money until I placed the order. I decided to pass on the Turbo S/Turbo due to the price point. I did not need another $200k+ toy. The dealer said no worries, he will keep my place for the 4S. I locked in my build on Nov 13, 2019 at which time I was asked for the $2500 deposit. The 4S will be my daily driver to replace my Quattroporte. Some the comments on the forums about the range of the Taycan amuse me. My Quattroporte was averaging 12.7 MPG when I checked earlier today. I am quite accustomed to my ICE DD lasting about the same range as the 4S and it hasn't dulled my excitement about the Taycan. It will be an awesome experience for all of us.Interesting Im a repeat customer also and I put $1,000 down in March 2018 which was refundable they still asked for 10k to place the order which is non refundable.

There is a difference between holding a reservation and placing an order My reservation was placed in March 2018 21 months ago and was $1,000 which was refundable. My order was placed in December 2019 ( car to go into production) and was $10,000I was at a dealer here in NY, and the demand for these is so high, all they are asking for to place an order is a $1K REFUNDABLE deposit. He said if someone cancelled, there would always be someone to take the car. They have already booked over 40 orders.
So the process, even now that the car is actually available, is to hold a reservation? The salesperson seemed to suggest that I would be placing an order, so that’s probably my misunderstanding. Thank you!There is a difference between holding a reservation and placing an order My reservation was placed in March 2018 21 months ago and was $1,000 which was refundable.

If you want to build your own, then you need to get in line. You need a build allocation. Anything else is a hand shake between you and your dealer that has nothing to do with Porsche itself. There’s a lot of variability between different dealers getting different allotments for allocations. A fair number of people have already gotten them for 4S and Turbo orders. Turbo S are pretty tough to come by afaik and it probably helps to be a Porsche VIP.So the process, even now that the car is actually available, is to hold a reservation?
