U.K. Launch/Deliveries pushed back?

[JayD]

Hi All
New to the site.
I too have an order placed with Chester for a Turbo, but not locked in yet.
Sales suggesting delivery June/July.
I guess I best order the Anderson charger pronto if there's a delay on that too!

So heres my update as of 20/02/20 . My 4s from OPC Portmouth completed build about 4 weeks ago and is in the UK. its currently sat in sheerness port awaiting conformaty certificates and I cant have it untill Porsche carry out their launch events. Mine is the first car OPCP have, yet (through no fault of the dealer) I cant have it, probably until April. This is frustrating as I have my current car for sale and now cant sell it. Also I was looking forward to collecting 1st March as planned. On the plus side my 12 week delayed Anderson charger (something about Corona virus delays - Seriously) is now not so important. Did I read theres no point having 22KW charging installed now ?.

Note : OPC portsmouth are and have been fantastic for every car I have bought from them. Porsche world wide seem to be stalling on this.

Only 22kW If you have three phase. 7.2kW on single phase (UK).

I have read elsewhere that the current Taycan cannot take onboard charging at 22KW which is a shame as my main charging will be at work utilising the 2 phase supply

Launch vehicles fitted with 11kw AC charger - 22kw to follow later in the year

Does that mean that the launch vehicles will remain at 11kW or can they be upgraded?

Well I guess anything is possible but it comes down to how much it will cost. I suspect that this is a hardware limitation so I would work on the assumption that it is "no". Anything else will be a bonus.

Great news that it’s landed in the uk pal

regards having to wait till after the launch event to take delivery that’s what I said in my post on this thread over 3 weeks ago
My dealer gave me the same info other dealers either don’t know this or are choosing to miss lead customers!

my car has been delayed so many times I’ve given up even checking

My dealer today suggested their launch event would be on 1st April, formal invite to follow later.

I received the formal invitation today (for 1st April).

Which dealer are you buying from?

West London

“Please be aware that strobe and laser effects are in use during the evening”

Honestly, save the lasers just let me see the car (that wasn’t an option on the RSVP)

Got my invitation to the launch event at my local dealer today. But max 2 people (including me). Our purchase decision and spec (we have been locked in since 10 Jan) was a truly family decision and I’d love to take my 2 sons as well as wife - dealership currently saying that’s not possible (max 2) so going to be challenging.....

Take them mate they won’t send them away

my local dealer (not we’re I’m buying from) are not telling anyone the date till closer to the time as they had 500 turn up to the speedster launch!

I’m not going to the launch at the dealer im buying from as I don’t see the point, I’ve ordered the car already so I don’t need to see options I havnt ordered

I expect that Porsche Norway would make an announcement if it was actual deliveries, but that I have not seen yet.

They are now up to 14. Still show cars or actual deliveries?

Porsche Centers in Norway have started actual deliveries. Posted on FB.

My production for 4S date moved from Feb 21st to Mar 12th but dealer gave no reason. Could this be due to Battery upgrade?? Launch date by dealer is Mar 31st. I am assuming I will not get car until after launch.

I was told that the dealers are not allowed to release cars until after the launch events
