2021 Delivery Date?
#1891
Intermediate
Writing ranting emails doesn't work...I send 2 a month to no avail. And while I'm sorry I traded in my 2017 C4 based on the arrival date I was given for my 2021 C4S, I also understand this is very hard on the local dealers and sales force. I can - and have rented a car but what do they do? Anybody have an idea of how many vehicles are involved in this fiasco? Regionally (I'm NY) or nationally (and I assume this is just the 911 line).

I am waiting for a 992TTS that I ordered in March and for which there was NO MY2020 antecedent. At the time of my order, I traded my 991Targa4S and so have been 911-less for 8 months. While the delay is disappointing, no one - at the dealer, at PCNA, at PAG, at EPA or at CARB offered me any kind of assurance, much less a promise, about when I would receive my car. Would I have preferred having it sooner? Most definitely, but - just for myself (we are all different after all) - I don’t think it’’s worth it for me to get exercised in a situation where I can do nothing to accelerate or improve the process.
ps - it is my understanding that CARB requires retesting if there is ANY variation between model years - not just drivetrain/emissions. Perhaps someone who is knowledgeable could clarify.

Not sure if anyone felt a vibration in the Force, but I am 3 hours away from taking delivery of my car, heading to my CARB state from a dealer in a non-CARB state. Don't ask me how -- I sure didn't ask many questions. Trucking manifest attached for those non-believers. Will send pics later today -- part of me still holding my breath and wondering if the CARB police are going to jump out and handcuff me and the driver as the car is coming off the trailer. Assuming the car rolls off, the ignition actually starts the car, and the PDK allows me to put it in forward drive, I will head straight to the 7-11 to buy a lottery ticket

Just got an email back from Bill McDuffee at CARB:
Hello Mr. Xxxx,
There was a long delay in getting part of the approval process completed. I’m trying to get the Executive Order approved as soon as possible. Hopefully by the end of next week.
Best regards, Bill McDuffee
So looks like we’re definitely getting that 12/4 date pushed back based on this.

Had I known I'd be moving to a non-CARB state back when I ordered (in March) I may have done things differently :-)

Indeed -- I was thinking the same thing and have a 45-day tag. Figure by then all of us will have our cars, our stickers, and our certifications straightened out. The nightmare scenario that is having to get in line at the NJ DMV at 3 AM not once, but twice.

Why would you be getting in line - why not let the dealer get the tags for you? Yes you would have to run in for inspection but that takes literally two minutes?

It seems clear to me that VAG and PCNA REALLY pissed off the EPA and CARB royally and this is them showing VAG/Porsche not to screw with them if they want to be able to sell their products here.
