Build and delivery schedule
Hi guys. Not sure if this has been answered in the past, apologies if it has been.
Can someone please share the duration to build a new car at the factory , (if you have been following the Porsche tracking site for a new order )? Looking at the Porsche tracking website for mine I can see that it has taken just 7 days to build, is that normal? That’s extremely fast and quite scary.. hopefully it’s all put together properly 😳

The one variable in all of this is, if something "unforeseen" happens on the boat or at port, that could delay your car's time at port by a good amount of time.
As an example. A neighbor and I happened to order GTS 4.0 cars within a week of each other (without knowing it until later). We got them from different dealers, but they ended up being on the same boat. His was at port 2 days. Mine was at port a month. Later I realized it's because they damaged the front lip spoiler on mine, probably during RORO, and had to wait for a new one, which was then hastily and sloppily painted. All of that took a month, apparently.
(Porsche later replaced the spoiler with a new one so all was good, but again, just an example)

I don't have a Cayenne, but my other cars were built relatively quickly as well. It's normal. Most of the time is waiting to start. Build time is actually pretty quick. Then it's on a truck to port (usually 1 day) then on a boat and then you're waiting for it to get to its destination. Then it has to clear customs. And if all is well, a few more days to get from destination port to your dealer and another couple days for the dealer to do their PDI.

When I took the car to get PPF'd, the PPF guy (who is well-known in the area for doing excellent work) said that some of the paint came off the front lip spoiler when they taped it off. Wouldn't have happened with a factory piece so I sent pictures to the dealer. They never confirmed that's what happened, but given the circumstances and time & port, they just said "Ok, we'll have it replaced." Took a while but at least it got resolved.
