UK friends... anyone due for April delivery aware of any delays ?

[Domy69]

My wife’s RWD was built end of January and has since been parked in a hangar awaiting a heater… My CT4S was built end of February and ran off the line on March 3 and hasn’t moved since. My dealer confirmed no stop sales on my car and scheduled for transport but hasn’t moved. Never saw this before. Both of us are getting rather frustrated on the no news issue. Just give us a expected delay or timeline, but the zero communication is frustrating!

It’s totally crazy. I understand that the cars already delivered and broken down come first but that those already produced and not yet delivered come after the new productions?! it drives me crazy and can’t accept that. I prefer 1000x to know that my car is not produced and delayed in production than to know it rotting for many months in a parking lot

Exactly. This is why the factory is telling us nothing. They are worried we will reject the car. I certainly will.

Was at my local dealership yesterday collecting our new Macan GTS My SA gave me a printout from the Vehicle Management System. Originally my GTS ST should have arrived at the dealership today. All dates have slipped 3 weeks. Now scheduled to arrive at the Dealership on 7th April.

Hey...

I hope you've all had a great weekend.

After having a bit of a wobble about the car (due to some car thefts locally) I've grown a pair and am trying to maintain my excitement with more top gear videos . That tends to work!! That along side only focusing on threads where everyone raves about their car !!

I follow the forum somewhat obsessively, and have of course been reading about heater issues.... (time for another wobble haha!!)

So my Q is, do any of you have March build - April UK deliveries that are subject to delays ? My SA has gone eerily quiet ! I try to avoid calling frequently- rightly or wrongly I try to keep them somewhat 'on side' by trying to not hack them off. So thought id annoy you all with enquiries instead !

My Turbo CT was built end of January and was delivered to Porsche Tonbridge on time and is now at Topaz having PPF fitted and I will pick it up from there next Tuesday so no hold ups at all and passed the tests at Porsche Tonbridge without any problems.

I'm allegedly scheduled for end of month (March 23) but as mentioned previously no concrete
information that provides real hope. Possibly the worst 'premium' experience I have ever encountered tbh.

I am in the Netherlands and have a similar experience, my CT4 was supposed to be here on the 24 March (this Friday) and when I followed up last week I was told it will be 12 May so almost two months late with no reason. It’s my first time buying a Porsche and the initial experience from walking into the dealership to arranging the finance was fantastic but it feels like no further effort is going into keeping my posted or actually replying to my emails, I have to chase and also asked about myPorsche app with no details to track my experience But nothing! I also was supposed to give my current car back this week and if I didn’t check I would have been without transport for two months!

No further delays for me, car is now produced and at Emden, with a bit of luck I’ll take delivery end of the month. MyPorsche still says stage 3 ‘Scheduled for Production’

My CT4 is planned to finish production on 7th April, but the expected date has moved out to May 12th. I reserved the car Nov 21.

Bristol have been very responsive and helpful for me so far

Is that young Euan?? Mine is still stuck in Sheerness...

 

[Dabz]

No I’m dealing with James, he’s been great so far

My Porsche CT4 is built and sat in Emden (My Porsche still says Stage 3). Got the full spec sheet and its all there, including Bose (which was dubious) and even states an electric steering column with memory which I didnt think would be available. OPC says there are no issues or 'astericks' next to the car, so should be on its way as soon as transport can be arranged...

My CT4 is planned to finish production on 7th April, but the expected date has moved out to May 12th. I reserved the car Nov 21.

If it's any slight consolation- I enquired about ordering a CT from Bolton around then and they said it would be more than 12 months to deliver (and that was before the 12v battery and heater issues and Russia invading Ukraine).

My Dealership just told me this morning that my Taycan ST has just arrived in Grimsby on 6th April. original date for arrival at the dealer was march 17th but its been stuck in Emden for three weeks.
I asked me and they said there has been a batch of cars delayed for a heater replacement but they are predominantly going to the US (only repeating what Ive been told).

She said my delay and most UK delays is down to shortage of staff at Emden Port and is affecting all manufactures and typically the Taycans in JCT group normally spend 3-5 days there, but are currently spending on average around three weeks.

Car now due at the dealer on Friday 14th. 10 months from order for me.

Hello all...are deliveries still coming through fairly well at the moment for those due to receive them? I was told mine was half built at the end of March...no news since.

hey Rob..... mine reportedly exited the factory, on time on 11th April. Now apparently waiting in Emden ........ as far as I am aware (or as far as I have been informed) there are no delays.... YET!

Have you or anyone else heard any different ? All crossed that you get yours soon !
