Nope, they said they would apply to another car.. I’ll probably just re-order for the Spring or get a Macan for the wife. Won’t be able to use the car for 4 months anyways—winter is coming.
I'm not giving up my car because Miami Blue is no longer available :-)
It would seem, given that other manufacturers have 2021s released, it is Porsche's issue. I wonder if the "internal investigation" of earlier engines has caused any reticence on the part of the US gov't?
I’d caution against assessing blame in the abstract, however likely things might seem, here in the year of the unlikely. I certainly get your frustration.
Ok, just placed my order, it’s showing a DD of 2/18/21. Which means I could get mine before many of you get yours. Just joking! I know… Not funny. Sorry.
I guess the fact that it is the entire Porsche lineup that s being held up makes it more likely that it was purely an administrative issue with Porsche and not a real issue with the cars and especially not an issue with the 992.
A Macan, Boxster GT4 and 992 have almost zero connection to each other. Hey the Macan base does not even use a Porsche engine. Hopefully the paperwork for all is now filed and the next available release date is 11/6
Hey it sounds good and that is what I am going with
SA gave me delivery date of 11/13 -- guess that's a week to get from Baltimore to the dealership. Thought about canceling like others here but to cancel now just to get in another queue for a car I would spec the same way doesn't make sense to me. At that point I would push all the way to a 992.2.
I'm doubly frustrated having already given them my trade-in last month when the delivery date was 10/9 (delayed from 9/4). I've asked what they can do on a set of winter wheels and told them my expectation is a very sharp pencil. I'm not holding my breath...

Which dealership? My cart is sitting in Baltimore as well
Ship arrived in San Diego this morning. Offload then on to San Francisco. Getting close.
Mine too....still have to wait till 11/6 for release from port and shipment on another boat to me here but am not complaining. SARA LEADER docked today.
Otherwise car will arrive when it does. A month of two compared to years of ownership is a small price to pay...at least for me, Others less patient it seems...but canceling an ordered car just cause of a delay of a few weeks just isn't worth the squeeze guys for me personally especially as this is due to something beyond all of our control! Bytchin about it PCNA or my dealership ain't gonna fix it now if it hasn't already...so let the system take its course now and they''l get me my car when ready/able....may ask for something advantageous if delayed too long but they don't guarantee a delivery date last I heard/recall when car is built to order from a customer...my SA was clear on that point and that the timetable could flex so I am good. Knew it when signed the paperwork and put my deposit down. My 2 cents...wish all their cars soon tho!

Honestly, I've surprised myself with how patient I've been. I mentally prepared myself once I heard of a potential hold-up because I've seen this so many times with other cars. Not even remotely news-worthy yet.
i do feel bad for those that live in a colder climate and aren't able to enjoy their car during the winter. Just another reason to live somewhere warmer!

I’m waiting for my new 4s and have every intention of driving it all winter (I’m in Montreal). The only downside is that I’ll take delivery with the winter wheel kit. Upside, when the summers are put on next spring, it will be like a second delivery.

I agree. My sales associate originally told me it might be December +- and moved it back a couple of times due to production being ahead of schedule. I’ve waited this long, I’m definitely not backing out. Besides the fact that looking around for an option to buy off a dealership, I’m not finding what I want, and the price is a little off.
