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

[AlexR]

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!!

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.

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. ?

Did you have compromising pictures of their Business Manager? ?

Ordered mine in April, it didn’t start build till the 16th Dec, presently at Emden!

If BIK in changes this will be my only new car order from Porsche. Don’t have the patience for it, 9 months worth of tumbleweed and a sense that the build slot assignment is a privilege not a right.

The BoxsterS I bought on a whim as I passed the showroom still stands as my best buying experience, and that included an engine change! ?

No compromising pictures of their business manager! I am a returning customer having bought a Macan from them 5 years ago. And although I have bought through my company I count as a personal customer. They said that as a returning customer I got prioritised over corporate purchasers (salary sacrifice companies mostly). The SE showed me the spreadsheet and there were a lot of company purchases so I think I jumped the queue past them. I don't think I was prioritised over any individuals buying cars for themselves.
