LASDSGT770

I was at our dealer this morning taking in our Macan for it's first service...Dates are the same...For Sale Date: All 992's...11/06 per our SM.

They gave us a new Taycan for a loaner...Nice, but I guess we are petrol junkies...

11/6 is still no certainty, just a hopeful CARB approval date. We are now in the position of watching our release date slide month-to-month. Thank you Porsche, your incompetence depresses me.

Ship arrived in San Diego this morning. Offload then on to San Francisco. Getting close.

I prepared my SA with the fact that if it pushes past November into December i may cancel.

Vintage72

me too - I likely will if 11/6 passes without approval/release of our cars because at that point, I will have less than zero confidence it will be delivered in December

EPA just posted their October listing of certified vehicles. Porsche is notable by their complete absence. It does seem as though every other manufacturer and all of their models ARE present. CARB has yet to update their on-line file . . . . so I guess we'll see. I'm rather surprised that none of the business press (WSJ, Forbes, etc.) or any of the buff magazines (Car & Driver, R&T, etc.) have seen fit to look into and report on this . It would seem to be something of a significant story.

where is this list posted

I don't think it is that big of a story -- it is not even the longest a Porsche vehicle has been delayed due to certification in the last two years. Some of the 2019 Cayenne e-Hybrids sat at port for 4+ months.

Yes, that's it!

Ditto. Dealer really did not seem to care. They probably have such pent up demand they know they will be able to sell anything they get their hands on. Mine is a nice build so I’m sure he’ll be able to get rid of it quickly and he’ll get another order from me in the Spring.

Pardon my ignorance, but is this Porsche's fault or just slow government regulations? Certainly a dealer can't really do anything about this, right?

For those considering cancelling, what are you going to do instead?

You guys just eating your deposits?

For Californians, the dealer has to refund your deposit by law if you back out of the order. Not sure about other states.

Given the number of other 2021 cars already running around from other companies, this one appears to be on Porsche. Either, something is up with the car itself OR they just messed up with the paperwork/process.
