At the factories, some vehicles are being partially built, pulled off lines, then sit waiting for specific parts to be completed. It's almost like this has snowballed out of control well beyond what the powers that be at Porsche were ever expecting (and across the auto industry in general).

I have been spending some time over on the Macan Forum and the UK Macan Forum as I have a 2021 GTS on order (also wayyyy delayed). I have to laugh when I read of people placing orders for the new 2022 Macans and getting Jan or Feb ETA dates for base models and April / May for S and GTS. There is no way these orders are going arrive at their dealers even close to those eta estimates the way things currently are. It would take some kind of a miracle turn around for the factories to catch up by then. Here is to hoping for a miracle for them!

Maybe I should change it back since I am being told it will be delayed till March which means the tax credit is gone. Is it even possible to use that allocation to order a GTS instead? Probably not is my assumption but after losing the credit, makes me think about just getting the GTS.

Did you choose the eHybrid to save fuel and lower the purchase cost with the incentive? If you lose the incentive, moving to a GTS will still be a significant price gap and a significant fuel economy gap as well. It seems like even without the tax incentive, the eHybrid will be less money and will cost less to operate than a GTS. Of course, the GTS is a fun vehicle and handles quite a bit better than an eHybrid, which in my opinion needs air suspension and PDCC to bring out teh handling brilliance possible in a Cayenne.

I just think now that the price isn't that far off which is actually still another 20k difference based on our options, GTS wouldn't be bad. The only thing with that is that I am sure my wife won't need it at all. I also told her that if it keeps on getting delayed, maybe we should just get her a RS-Q8 which is definitely overkill. I am speaking to an Audi sales on an incoming RS Q8, and if they sell it to me at MSRP, it will be a tough decision. I just prefer Porsche over an Audi that's all. The exhaust note would put a big smile on our little boy.
