TYD says 8/25/22, but I think the first order submitted was in May 2022

 

Took delivery this last Saturday! Pretty cool car..

 

Understatement of the day!

Looks great in GR with WP and the Neodyme wheels!

 

Your original flavor of Ruby Star looks great.
TYD says my Neo is to finish production Dec 23 and be at my dealer on Jan 27. The dealer delivery date just moved out a week. Dealer delivery had been Jan 20 until today. All other dates remain unchanged and have been stable for the last several weeks.
Are you saying part shortages or delays at Emden will move me out to May at the earliest? (My GT4RS is non WP, has PCCB, PDLS, and is non-Bose.)

 

Does anyone know if Emden is indoor or outdoor storage while waiting to load on the boat?
From this thread seems like some cars are at Emden for 8 weeks, possibly longer? Does Porsche have a process at Emden to help preserve the car if in storage for a long time. For example: flat spotted tires, cracked Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires due to moving in the cold, dead batteries, water condensation inside engine, etc?

 

Thanks!

Perhaps you'll get your car sooner, but mine was scheduled for delivery in September originally and I didn't get it until late December, so delays are the name of the game. First came the production delays, then the shipping delays to the port, then delays at the port waiting for a suitable ship, then delays at the Panama canal (not sure if that applies to you) because of traffic, then a long delay for QC and PDI at the port before it gets delivered to the dealer. Don't be disappointed, just expect it.

That said, I hope you get yours sooner. Waiting is no fun!

Edit: You'll also probably have a holiday delay of at least a week since your production is so close to Christmas/New Year

 

Based on how dirty my car was, I'd say outside, but I don't know for sure.

Good thing is they all have full car covers (minus windshield)

 

Your expectations are not realistic. I realize that for you it's a lot of $ but in the grand scheme you're displaying "entitlement syndrome" prevalent of so many nowadays. It's a car no matter what.

My freeze date got bumped out from 12/22 to 1/10 along with bumping out my delivery date by another from 3/17 to 3/24. This is the 3rd bump of my freeze date in the past month or so.

 

Interesting. My car has been in "production" since Oct any my revised new delivery date is the end of March so your timeline my be optimistic but I hope for you it happens by then. I spoke to my dealer and he says they are just delayed due to all sorts of supply issues but people who have orders and allocations should all get their cars but it will take time.

Merry Christmas

 

Any idea the specific options or parts impacting?

 

I have a dealer who may sell a Weissach GT4RS for $60K over sticker.. is that pretty average or not good for this car? Btw they spec'd leather steering wheel and shifter... Who does that?? Alcantara is the only way to go on an RS

 

I asked about that and he said no but seems like something is causing the push outs which I've had 7-8.

My car is shark blue, no weissach package, ceramic brakes, Bose (that may be the issue), 12 way seats and a few other very minor items like seat belts in blue. So really a pretty basic combination.

 

I can see the delivery date getting bumped but I'm curious why the freeze date has been pushed back by a month. Given that my Touring took over 11 months to get after I got the allocation, I'm not expecting to get the car before April/May. My build has WP, PTS, PCCBs, but no Bose so maybe I'm getting pushed back due to the PCCBs and bucket seats. Took my Taycan 3months from the completion date to get to Emden so nothing surprises me anymore about numerous delays.
