Finished cars seem to get transported (by rail) to Emden right away, but I suppose the key factor is how long a car will be sitting there waiting for the next free berth on a ship (mine's been there 2 weeks now).
I think that a normal build duration is less than a week (even allowing for going for Exclusive Manufaktur fitting), so 1 week for that plus up to another week once your car is landed in the UK for it to be transported to your dealer and for them to then prep it, doesn't leave much time for it to catch a boat in time for you to take delivery before Christmas.
Update on mine- it's arrived at the dealers, 16 days after completing production (during which we had potential delay due to the Jubilee holiday). I realise now that my car hadn't been waiting for a boat as long as I'd thought when I posted originally.

Mine completed production on May 6th. I think WuffonTrips has been fortunate, or I've been unfortunate with timing etc. Could also depend on whether you are serviced from Hull or Sheerness. Mine sat at Emden for at least 2 weeks, and arrived in Sheerness last week or week before (unclear which date). I was at the dealers this morning as my Macan decided to lose 3rd gear in what sounds like a very expensive way (I digress :crying: ). As I limped in, a transport arrived with 8 cars on... but not mine. Apparently the dealership (Bournemouth) has 15 vehicles in Sheerness on top of those that arrived this morning, and transport out of the Port and into the dealers seems to be a bit of a road block at the moment. So seems a bit patchy, but anything between 3 weeks and 6 weeks could be the answer to OP's question. Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to not having a gearbox in the Taycan .... which will match me not currently having one in my Macan either !

That is bad luck Lance - Thanks for heads-up - Hope both issues get resolved PDQ.

Prior to locking your car, are there any restrictions on what you may want to tinker with, and does any tinkering impact the timings on delivery? Ie say you lock the exact spec you originally signed up to, would that get built / delivered quicker than if you start playing about. I’ve got a few options I really don’t need, and with price increases looking to de spec a tad when I get the call. Also having second thoughts on colour… the long wait gives me far to much time to consider different configs…

De-spec it now. Don’t wait for a call or you might find it is too late and has already locked. If you ever plan to change the spec, do it straight away. It doesn’t matter if you change it several times - that way you won’t get caught out by having it lock unexpectedly
