Any possibility that Porsche might just cancel EDs for the next few weeks?

At the speed everything is going I would not be surprised... flights being cancelled, US closing borders on friday to EU... heck I' starting to think production could be halted!

you can quarantine yourselves in your cars for 14 days, pitch a few tents in the wilderness, and live off the nature, behind the Four Seasons... bring extra wipes.

I think there are definitely going to be delays as a result of this. My car started build on Friday, so it's likely to be held in Germany until the ban is lifted.

I would think that they would be pushing to get what they can out the door and invoiced ahead of a shutdown or port closure... My car went V260 over a week earlier than listed, I wonder if they can shift the logistics that much for Emden?

Mine is June 30, hoping this thing follows typical flu course and disappears once it warms up.

Turns out Trump didn't know what he was talking about and there's no trade ban, just travel. At least at the moment.

I just heard that as well, fingers crossed for all of those affect by Coronavirus, also for continuing commerce of all types as this keeps the world economy flowing...

My EU delivery was available for June 25th for my GT4, which I quickly wanted, but considering what is going on the world right now, especially Europe and the situation in Germany escalating, I may try to push my date to as late as possible in July to buy time for the situation to settle...European delivery is such a big part of the experience for me, I don't think I would do the car without it. What is everyones thoughts?

Have you heard that you can no longer do EU deliveries anymore to take them to the 'ring? It has to do with the temporary license plates they give us while in Europe...

Can anyone confirm?

“No admittance for vehicles with export plates, temporary plates or vintage seasonal licence plates
(07 number) / quad bikes”

That would suck. I wonder if this is new?
You May want to start a separate thread on this?

I have late May 718 Spyder - Germany will not have it under control by then. I have asked Porsche to ship the car now....it was completed already. Will arrive by May I hope so at least I get it for the summer in Canada. Car is for my daughter. Have done ED twice before so I can skip this one. Health first.
