UK: When did you order and when did (or will) your car arrive?

[WRC_1S]

Ordered my car through company lease scheme June 21. Was originally estimated Dec 21, then was confirmed End of Feb 22. Woke this morning to an email now saying May 22! Absolute joke. If I wasn't so far into waiting I'd cancel.

Wow, that stings. Did the lease company or Dealer update you? Did they state any reason such as a particular piece of equipment etc?
Would have hoped that doubling Taycan manufacturing capacity would have helped with lead times but I guess it all depends on which country gets what…
Of course they’ll prioritise China given the margins are much higher there (and demand seems high), so might be why our UK delays are ever extending.

Ordered Turbo in September - just received confirmation for March build and April delivery. But let's see if that materialises!

Ordered Turbo S Cross Turismo in June 21, got the nod on a March 22 build last week. Local OPC only have that one build slot for a Turbo S CT apparently, and they had 2 slots for 2021. They advised the same on moving to another build (Turbo, GTC etc) would result in a 12 month ish wait. Glad I stuck it out!!

I've had zero comms from the dealer. All through the Lease company. A faceless generic email was the update with no reason. I've kicked off with our fleet manager and raised a complaint with regards to the lease companies communication. Shocking.

Congrats Ian, look's great. How long was that from order to arrival out of interest?

Ordered mid July. I think it would have come a week or 2 ago had it not been for Christmas. It has been sitting in the port in Kent for over a week, then to OPC last Friday. Build completed December 10th

Stunning! My order was 13th December (21) so I have a long long wait ahead!

Looks awesome ? I recognise the dealership, had a great journey with them.
Will probably see you around the area at some point!

Where are you based? I bought from them before and they have been very good. Tewkesbury if anyone else is interested. Happy to recommend them

I’m around Bredon Hill, always up for a beer and escape from work/kids to chat cars. Think I’ve only spotted 2 Taycans around here the last few years. Probably won’t miss me if I drive past you ?. Only racked up 500miles since pickup before Xmas.
Porsche Tewkesbury have been great and would recommend too.
Would be great to have a Worcestershire meet-up if anyone else is local-ish. ?
