2 months of ownership. 3k miles so far. Yes, worth the wait.

So I have managed to secure a place in the waitlist line for an allocation for a GTS Sport Turismo. Have demand orders at a few dealers, hoping for a July / Aug allocation. ETA of the actual car wont be until at least 10 to 12 months... Im sure many of you had similar wait times.

So the question is simple - now that you have your Taycans - was the wait worth it?
Yes, have a Taycan today and ordered a Sport Turismo now when it is available. Fantastic car.

eun-yeou (silver fox) in Korean, eun for short, my wife is of Korean descent. I couldn't resist when I saw that the My Porsche page lets you name your vehicle(s).

I take it you're not Korean? I'm not either, that "eu" sound is so hard for me to say correctly, so I give you a lot of credit! 🤣👍

My wife is too, but since I also ordered mine in ICE grey, I'm gonna name her Elsa. My daughter (will be 4 yo by the time the car arrives) is gonna lose her shit when she hears the name, so that's the plan.

2022 Porsche Taycan RWD
Country flag
Welp….the first four weeks were awesome (April 10-May 1)…we love the car, but here comes the big “but”. Exactly thirty days after delivery our car, we were sitting at a light and our 2022 RWD with 300 miles dropped into “Park” from “Drive” while sitting at a traffic light. I did a little research and that has been a periodic issue with other 2022 owners so I emailed and called our dealer to report the incident the Monday after. Long story short…the car is sitting at the dealer since May 2nd as they try to determine how to make this issue go away…no timetable for return. They were nice enough to lend us a 2021 Macan, but I wasn’t expecting to pay for gas anytime in the near future….those plans have changed. So we wait….and it’s a little embarrassing when we get asked how the car is since they all know the wait time we endured….sheepishly I tell them “it’s in the shop”. A little disappointing to be honest….but what are ya gonna do?

I'm less than a week into ownership, the car was delivered on 7 May, and I'd say absolutely worth the wait. Driving the 70 miles back from the dealer was the most fun I've had in a car in many years. Heck, my wife thinks I've lost my mind, in a good way, I even named it :)

Taycan 4S.

Looks awesome. The more I see the Mission E wheels, the more I wish I got them

This is so subjective that I presume you are looking for validation. Everyone's situation is different. For me, it came at the right time because I had driven the same car (a 911S for 12 years). I was not desperate for transportation and in reality, I don't even need this car because I run most errands on an EV motorcycle. Do I love it? Fuck yes, it's a Porsche.

Why wait? I decided I wanted a Taycan. I couldn't find one in CA, so I located a dealer in NY that had a color I wanted and an option package that was close enough. I had the car in two weeks.

Yea you're right - I was looking for some sort of validation. And it sounds like the answer is yes, its worth the wait. Ive custom ordered many cars before as I like to buy cars in the exact spec and paint that I want so waiting is not new to me. However this would be the longest Ive waited for a new car. This is also my first ever Porsche so Im very excited!
