18 days and counting and watching the mileage between the ship and the port slowly shrink, anyone else on the Supreme Ace? It's hard to contain my excitement 😀😀

I told them that if it goes beyond 5/20 to be shipped, I want my deposit back, they can eat the car. In Europe now the stupidity of the hype of asking for insane prices is gone. They are now below MSRP
I don't believe Porsche HQ typically tells the dealers why the cars are delayed, but I could be wrong. Not sure why you want to punish the dealer for something out of their control.

Update: New headlight installed, and scheduled to take delivery on Monday!

Because they didn't ever bother to pick the phone and ask what is actually happening with a 3-month delay for no reason, when I'm well aware that other 4RS with a similar spec built 2 months later (mine is basic so the parts shortage BS is not valid anymore) has been already shipped to the same country (so no especial transport BS either). Similar to the dozens that get shipped to US a are built after mine. Mine is WS and parking sensor, so simple as f*ck, not PST no stripe no exclusive manufactur

I they (dealer) don't care, I care less, they provide no proactive information, even after the car has been delayed several times. If in May it hasn't been shipped, I will buy a 4RS Porsche approved below MSRP, and they can do with my spec whatever they want...I don't care at all

Glad to see the drop on Porsche's Q1 earning results…a few more like this, and they will wake up…like Telsa

I don't believe they are provided the information even if they call. They really don't have control over it. You think they should, I get it, but the reality is they don't. And not for nothing, but if you act towards them the way you are writing here why would they want to help you out?

Of course they can...I've seen it done for a friend that had a SRS more than 2 months waiting for transport.
Also, why should I act differently when they haven't give a damn so far?

dont act differently
buy a different brand if you are so upset with porsche
you have complained and complained about things outside of peoples control and frankly are not important. The car will arrive when the car arrives.
Already way too many entitled people in the world and you seem to be one of them.

meanwhile we will all enjoy our 4rs as the car is an amazing machine.
have a good day

If you drink the kool-aid that is fine, I don't. Anyway, I'm past the point of complaining, I just want the dealer to give my deposit back if the car is not shipped this month.

I buy whatever I want, if I'm going to spend 200k I will complain. I want that specific car (4RS) that is why I buy it, I don't care about Porsche as a brand in general

And yes, If I'm gonna pay, I'm entitled to complain ...or at least to expect an open bi-directional channel of communication.
I would say, too many conformist people with low standards ...not entitled people

Happy that you enjoy your 4RS, undoubtedly a machine.

have a good day

The dealership (your sales person) can give you the boat/ship name and you can track it.

My 4RS finally arrived and is back from getting full body PPF and Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra. Can't wait to work through these break in miles.
