Wow, good timing & luck! You just made it by 4 days! The sanctions on Belarus were placed by the US Treasury dept in 12/5, four days after your car landed. Good thing there was no delay at the port…

Mine started production Nov 22nd but didn’t complete production until January 15th (final assembly pic uploaded Nov 24th)… maybe they held some at the factory waiting for the new ECU before sending it off to Emden?
Arrived in Emden on 1/22 but no info/estimates beyond that.

Hoping the long span of time spent in production phase was the factory getting ahead of this issue for a batch of cars with production completed after mid-dec timeframe.

Might just be me reaching for any sign of hope, lol.

I don’t think the Porsche spokesperson would have refuted on Belarus if this wasn’t the case (Jalopnik article and Porsche spokesman reference https://jalopnik.com/porsche-cant-se...-no-1851235453)

I think we are likely dealing with a trade hold related to an unauthorized sub component chip. I.E. one of Porsche sub tier suppliers, used a chip (perhaps from China) that was not authorized and it got caught in the supply chain trade review. Porsche then had to disclose which vehicles had this chip and agreed to replace.

We are watching and waiting as we are stuck in this mess with our Targa we have been waiting on for 2 years is sitting at the Benicia CA port. Was due to deliver this week, and be very frustrating if this delay pushes our delivery to April as some have estimated.

Im giving Porsche low marks for not being fully transparent in the press, us customers on the issue, resolution timing, and compensation for the delay.

I’m stuck at port and I was told by my SA to expect late May!

F$CK!

It looks like the Violet Ace and Siem Confucius are both at Emden right now. Curious if the 911s there get loaded or are still waiting for a fix. Mine's been there for about a month.

And delayed a second time now showing end of March…

Is your car at the port in Germany or a port in the US?

US, Rhode Island

Ugh, that sucks! Mine is at port in Benicia, CA. SA says “it will be a couple months.”

Fingers crossed

Targa 4S stuck in this mess after a 2 year wait on allocation and build for us.

Mfg complete 12/10
Left German port 12/27
Arrived Benicia CA Port 1/26
Original delivery date 2/6
SA updated date today 4/12

Expressed our extreme dissatisfaction with Porsche and the lack of Porsche transparency, detail on what the issue is, and timeline to resolve.

So have we determined if Porsche has the part/ chip in stock and are actively installing it on the line and on cars in ports ?

Jeff Whitten

Another posted that they are, but haven’t seen any info on this anywhere online. All speculation because Porsche is being so tight lipped about it.

From what I heard, they want to fix everything in Germany first before it gets on a boat. The ones already here or about to be here will have to wait at customs...there's no official timeline I've heard for that as I think it's just too hard to give an accurate estimate.
