Did your dealer do the ceramic coat? I wish mine had offered that..had the car a week now, and I don’t want it to go away for a few days now, but I know I need to get the Ceramic done...?

Yep they did, I know I can probably get it better if not cheaper elsewhere but the convenience of them doing it pre collection far outweighs the minimal cost save. I suspect I’m in for a sleepless night tonight, one more sleep!

No idea. Told by the dealer today that the car is on the vessel. Will believe once it lands.
Thanks,

Word of caution....don’t rush to do the FOD upgrades.....I now have a horrible permanent yellow light on my dash from a download failure. Apparently a dealer visit needed...

My car is in right now. Had it for two weeks and now in for 3 days to get ceramic and tinting. I am having separation anxiety and I wasn’t even planning on driving these 3 days!!

Fantastic turn around! Good for you!

my car like @Nipri was completed on 26th March. Arrived in Sheerness on the 17th April but seems to be now stuck there.The ridiculously long wait continues with no news when delivery is. Yet to receive the Porsche Connect emails too.

My dealer also hasn’t offered Ceramic coating so will be getting it completed by a 3rd party, currently researching where is best in London. If anyone has any recommendations I would be happy to hear. Thanks!

Wow. Your dealer is really dragging his heels? Time to put some pressure on I think. I would guess that’s been on their site for ages already. Could be wrong though..

I’m not so sure although I’m going to definitely email tomorrow. Apparently Porsche Mayfair doesn’t have an on-site New car inspection service so the car has to go to Porsche Reading first - get updated and then come to Mayfair for collection. I was supposedly due to hear when the car arrived at Reading earlier this week but nothing - so assume it’s still stuck in Sheerness

9 days in and my car is still in Sheerness. Looking at this forum most have cars reach dealers within a week but there seems to be occasional wait times of up to 2 weeks. Still no sign of the elusive Porsche Connect email too.
Apparently my dealer has 20 cars waiting PDI’s at the port and transportation so let’s see if the next few days brings better info.
Hope everyone else waiting is having better luck!

Amazing how long it takes sometimes. Mine is still on a vessel. That vessel is probably the slowest one in the world!
Spoke to my dealer on Friday who told me that they are so frustrated as well & more people who complain to HQ the better as its comes from the customer.

Must be so frustrating for you both.

My turnaround time was quite quick, maybe because my car didn't ship to sheerness?

Here's hoping you get them soon.

I think the Sheerness factor is key. I had a relative who purchased a Taycan after mine which was shipped to Grimsby. Already has had his car for over a week. I think the volume of cars going to Sheerness has a huge impact

I assume mine went to Sheerness as I am only 20 miles from there, as is the dealer.. I got mine really quickly?
