Russian Mafia

If there’s been ongoing negotiation with California anything I find it understandable Porsche hasn’t created expectations with their customers as to when things would be resolved and finalized, particularly in this environment. I’m totally sympathetic as to what you guys have been going through but as someone with a lot of experience negotiating with CA agencies, I would never, never, never, ever, ever give the State of California a bargaining chip in a negotiation that almost anything result-wise would have created.

Further, that’s very generous of Porsche as to the PSMP-s. If you assume they’re are a functional company they’ve understood the greater the grief to their customers with orders, the more it was going to cost them.

I can relate too well to both counts, rodents and the trade!!

About a year ago, I went out of the country for 2 weeks and left the car parked in the driveway. I went to drive it a couple of days after I got back, only to have no power steering. Had towed only to find out “some rodent had eaten through a bunch of wires and was setting permanent residency in the underside of the car. I was blown and thinking the dealer was just trying to rip me off quoting me $2k to replace a wiring harness until I called my insurance company. Agent told me he deals with that same issue at least 1x/day in FL!!

I have been waiting far less than many here (2 months), but I’ve had the same feeling of regretting trading my 991.2 several times!

Couldn't agree more. My 992 has been in Rhode Island since 9/30. Since this is my 6th 911 in the last 20 years, the enthusiasm has waned a bit anyhow, and if the 12/4 date is pushed back I will really consider walking. PCNA is just simply awful.

...i was just told my TTS arrived yesterday in Davisville RI, and is awaiting Certification -- from the sound of your post i might have gotten lucky, since 12/4 is tomorrow.....waiting 1 day for that would be a gift......

I’m in the same boat as Vintage72. In TX with my car being held for “quality audit.” Just got pushed back to 12/18 today. TYD hasn’t updated yet, but dealer system did. 🤬

For everyones' sake, I really hope that's the case, but don't get your hopes up. It seems as of now, CARB and Monroney blocks are still in place. Highly unlikely its getting removed today or tomorrow.

Looks like I’m still on track for this weekend

I don't know man...quality audit...or fixing transit damage?! Tho even that seems like taking way too long...

Bluehighways

Don't hold your breath. Mine's been down to --Days a few times already. Like yours, mine is also sitting in San Diego with an L.A. area dealership destination.

Has anyone called or emailed CARB to ask for an update?

Helios59

I just sent them an email. We'll see what happens...

Muhney

Are cars that destined for a non carb State being held up also? My port of entry is San Diego but the car is coming to Scottsdale Arizona.

akdesertfox

Just curious, who did you email over there? I tried emailing both Duc Nguyen and Bill McDuffee but neither replied.

gohawks23

No, Porsche N Scotts has 2021 911s on the lot...Chandler too.

I left Duc Nguyen a voicemail. He is responsible for all light duty vehicle emissions certifications/EOs. He can be reached at 626-575-6844. His voicemail message states that as of March 17th, 2020, all CARB certifications staff will be working remotely from home due to COVID, and that all certifications will be processed as normal. Let's see if he calls back, and if he does, if he will even tell me whether Porsche CARB has been processed/approved or not. Doubt it.

Anyone ping their dealer to find out if CARB and Monroney blocks are still in PVMS? I pinged my dealer but they havent responded yet.
