Stage 1 (Order) - 27 June 2022
I’m in the same situation with basically identical dates. It seems quite a few cars that came over at the end of December haven’t made it to the dealerships. Maybe they bought more than usual over or something else is holding them up but I genuinely don’t think the dealers have been told what the problem is. I can only collect my car between the 1st and the 15th of the month (due to it being a company lease car, and thus it effects the payroll process), so I’ll need to wait until the 1st of next month to pick it up now
I am also in the same situation. My CT4S arrived at Sheerness on 30th December (the OPC has sent me a screen shot to evidence this). Still no news. Frustrating to say the least, but pretty sure the dealer can‘t do too much more.I’m in the same situation with basically identical dates.

Which OPC Robbie?
Silverstone
Not sure. I’ve just pinged a message to my SA to see if he knows. It’s a good point. I’ll post on here with the answer. And do you know if Porsche UK are in control of the transportation or would Sytner (for example) arrange the transporter to the dealer?
To the best of my knowledge, transporters are under the direction of Porsche Cars GB. Not the dealers. At least they weren’t for Jardine’s. So presume Sytner’s the same.
Thanks. Although frustrating, I am fairly relaxed about it. I placed the order in late May 2022, expecting delivery sometime 3Q23. Then got bumped into a cancellation so should be taking delivery at least 6 months ahead of original schedule!
That is a predicted wait from order to delivery about the same as mine (July '21 to December '22) so you aren't alone.
Obviously!
Why can you no longer have a Cherry Taycan, that is my preferred colour too !Mentioned in another thread that I cancelled my order last week.
Lack of any news on allocation, lengthy wait, Porsche mucking about with options and well spec'd, lightly used cars becoming increasingly available with prices dropping relatively quickly prompted the move.
Dealer called to confirm this morning, but also to note my order had just (Weds) been given a March allocation!
Still going ahead with the cancellation. Reasons all still apply - dealer noted that you can no longer have a Cherry Taycan, which remains my preferred colour.
My local dealer has been great. Porsche head office much less so (yes there are circumstances out of their control to a degree. But they've not handled them well IMO).
Good luck to those persevering and enjoy your cars when they arrive. I may end up in a Taycan... Will keep an eye on the used market, and other cars that come to market over the next couple of months. But the initial excitement and want fell away for me, allowing the head to take over
The likelihood of relay attacks is far, far greater if the key is otherwise transmitting from time to time. There’s been a spate of JLR thefts near me and they’ve all been taken with the keys still in the house. Admittedly Evoques and RRSports’s seem a particularly high target for the gangs that want them over Porsches or anything else.
