Year 22 allocations.

[Shaf]

I have been waiting for a CT 4S allocation and was told by my SA that per Porsche there will be no more allocations for the remainder of 2022. This applies to all models. I have to long standing relationship with this dealer and have no reason to doubt the information. This includes 2023 allocations through the end of the year.

I'm a long time Tesla owner and haven't had to deal with the dealerships system in ages, but lurking here as I'm warming up to the idea of the Taycan CT as my next car.

What does it mean that there are no more allocations? That you simply cannot order one the rest of this year at all? Anywhere? Are there inventory cars? Waiting lists? Should I bother to visit a dealership at all?

yea I think the my 2023 allocations will be very slim. It will likely be very hard to get one. But if I’m right they usually roll out with the my 2023 allocations in July?

As I understand it, with the exception of allocations that dealers now have, you will not be able to order a Taycan for the remainder of the year.

The Irish Times DAC May 5, 2022:
"Volkswagen, the world's second-largest electric vehicle manufacturer by volume, has "sold out" of battery-powered models in the US and Europe for this year as persistent supply chain bottlenecks hit global production.

The Wolfsburg-based group, which includes brands such as Porsche, Audi and Škoda, sold more than 99,000 electric models worldwide in the first three months of 2022 as it was hit by a shortage of semiconductors and wiring harnesses made in Ukraine.

Market leader Tesla delivered more than three times that number in the same quarter. However, VW boss Herbert Diess said, since demand had remained robust, the company had an order backlog in western Europe of 300,000 electric cars. He added customers now placing orders in Europe and the US would not get their electric models delivered before 2023. "We have very high order books and ... order intake on electric vehicles," Mr. Diess added. "That accounts for all of our models from ID.3, ID.4, the Audi models - [all] are extremely well received in the markets, Škoda models are also very well received in Europe." He said: "We are basically sold out on electric vehicles in Europe and in the United States. And in China, it's really picking up."

VW is targeting roughly 700,000 electric vehicle sales for 2022 as a whole as it attempts to catch up with Tesla. However, production has been hampered, particularly in VW's largest market, China, where it sold just 28,800 electric cars in the first quarter amid coronavirus lockdowns. While that sales figure is four times higher than during the same period last year, it complicates VW's target of selling at least 140,000 electric cars in China in 2022. The manufacturer missed its electric sales targets in the country last year.

The auto industry's sales forecasts for the year have been reduced in recent weeks, as the global economy continues to suffer from rising raw material prices and the war in Ukraine. Europe's largest auto supplier Bosch said yesterday its previous estimate of 88 million cars being sold in 2022 "probably won't be met" due to "adverse effects from the coronavirus pandemic in China and the ongoing chip shortages".
