Interesting .. Unless my dealer just wants me to stop updating configuration and emailing them new codes every 2 weeks

I spoke with a Porsche representative while at PEC about the delay. He said he had heard about it but did not have any details (what else is new).

I mentioned that the bulletin states no US cars will ship until mid September and if that is correct that means the earliest delivery for the car in the US will not be until late October or early November. That was his understanding as well.

So if all the July builds for the US are being pushed back into September what does that do to the September/October builds.

i heard from my dealer today and he told me that the Sept builds have been moved back but no new build dates yet.

as I posted earlier, I was informed that my manual early September build was pushed back 2 days as of last week according to Euro Delivery, so no changes yet for early October Leipzig delivery. My dealer said lock date is 7/24 as of yesterday.

My build still on track. Build CW27. Delivery CW29.

The delay only affects US cars. At this point I am not sure Porsche knows dates for most of the US cars. They arbitrarily pushed dates back one week and more than likely pushed them back further. My .1GT3 was delayed six months from the original delivery date because of the engine replacement.

Guys you can look at the same screen the dealers have access to and ALL dates from lock to delivery are displayed.

How?

Your dealer can pull it up and if they resist I would suspect an issue at that dealership. Some of the comments on RL don't make sense as to be told the stop date moved but no delivery date shows is not accurate.

Nick

Correct but that is not to say the dates are correct in the PVMS.

The bulletin clearly states that no US cars will ship until mid September. Yet, my delivery date was pushed back one week to October 6th. Can someone explain to me what type of ship they will be using to get my car to the west coast, PDI it and deliver it by October 6th?

Porsche can ship the cars to their various distribution facilities and hold them. This happens a lot while awaiting emissions certification - held at port then released. No idea what the reason is for the delay, but if the delay is US only it could very well be something like this.

My lock date was 7/11/2017 now is 7/28/2017

You may have a point about emission certification. But the bulletin was clear no US cars will ship until mid September.

Einmalig

All US cars must meet both EPA and CARB certification prior to their release from port. This process has been taking longer recently due to emission irregularities at certain manufacturers. Vehicle production will continue and cars will be shipped to the US and held at port until certification is granted by both agencies. Sold Orders will be prioritized for release followed by any stock units ordered by dealers. Cars can be held up anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months depending on the agency and their satisfaction that the vehicles meet all published standards. Patience will be tested and early buyers will be calling their dealers weekly asking for a delivery date that simply cannot be predicted. As you might imagine, the dealers want the cars paid for and delivered as much if not more than the actual buyers. Let's hope for the best.

Interesting! Do you have a source for this information?
