Taycan Waiting Room: Who has ordered and a delivery date?

[ChrisM]

Glad to hear it.

I’m sure it’e going to be a good week next week!

now off to get an insurance quote. ??

As a matter of interest, who came up with a good quote ? I ended up with Admiral (a few others were cheaper, but wouldn't insure as my 4S is a business lease). Still trying to decide if also need GAP insurance.

Given the fact that the communication from Porsche has been bad, and that’s not the fault of the dealers necessarily, I am pleased to say that for me the wait is over. My car arrived at the dealer yesterday and yeah it was a surprise for them and the only missing item is the spare key which requires components so no drama there.
Originally planned for a July delivery and it’s here in September, so given the state of things hopefully a 2 month delay is a yardstick to go gambit for everyone waiting.
Got the dealer video if anyone’s interested otherwise, thanks for all the input and sharing of info you guys have given along the journey. ??

Yeah, post the video if you don't mind

Reached the first milestone which is freeze date today. Delivery is slated for Dec 10th. The only change since placing my order in June & getting an allocation in July has been when I made a change to my spec one week before freeze date. It pushed my freeze date and delivery date out by exactly one week (freeze from Sep 10 to 17 & delivery from Dec 3 to 10).

Curious as to the likelihood of receiving my car by this date, I really would like to have it before the end of year so I can claim my tax rebate this year (with an outside chance of the $7500 rebate going away next year)

For those much further in the process or already delivered, between the 4 phase MyPorsche status and TYD, which has been more accurate overall?

TYD. My car showed up in stage 3 until it was at the dealer, and stage 4 until about two weeks after I took delivery.

Thanks @schad I am wondering about mine. TYD has had my car in stage 3 since 8/16 and today the car is not in MyPorsche app or .com (Was there last night). I saved the URL to TYD as there is no way to access it now from the app and no changes.

Hoping that the removal means it is on the way to the dealer and I will not see stage 4 until after delivery like you.

I think they are making some changes on the Porsche side, because I happened to be in there a day or two ago and the UI looked completely different. (Either that or I'd never been to that particular page before, which is very possible; there always seems to be two or three completely different ways to accomplish any given task.)

I have an early December date for delivery.

It has looked the same for me since day 1 on TYD. Yes, different ways around in the app and the website, but mine never appeared different until this morning with the car missing. On the other hand, my salesman said they were doing maintenance on the system.

I have a multi-car with Admiral. I went for the turbo and it added £190 to my £1200 premium. So £1390 annual for 3 cars. I was pretty happy with that.

It probably works out about £90 a year more than my V10 R8 I had 18 months ago.


Admiral have been good to me over the past 8 years. ??

PS I didn’t go for GAP. Never have. I know it’s piece of mind but it’s literally one insurance after another.
Are you taking the tracker option?

many insurance quote was without having one. The premium for having one is too small a fraction to warrant the cost of taking the tracker.

Congratulations on your new arrival
Your experience mirrors mine exactly
2 month delay but only missing the second key with power seats, electric steering column, passenger screen and all the other chip related bits and bobs on the car as expected
Enjoy the weekend exploring the capabilities of your new car

Thank you and congratulations to you too.
I won’t actually pick mine up until Tuesday by the time e it goes through PDI, but it’s here and like yours unscathed of ‘chips’ so that’s a huge bonus.
Going to see it in the flesh in the morning though as been too busy working to pay for it ??

 

[samueldave]

Yeah, post the video if you don't mind

Sure. Here you go. I appreciate that others are still waiting and I respect that but this is hope that things are starting to move so all those that are waiting, hang in there.
Now the video is Porsche salesman, so apologies for the somewhat cheesy commentary. Not a great video, but is all the proof I needed ! ?

Added my CT 4S owned by my company but with me as keeper to our domestic Admiral multi car policy without difficulty for less than £500 per year
Took out ALA gap insurance over 4 years too which was also reasonable using promo code MSE25 for 25% off
