Got mine…
I’m in Europe, already got mine.
Coming from a MY21 hybrid this one is a different car altogether. Electric is significantly more powerful and enough to do highway at 120 Km/h. I also felt is much quieter.
Software wise the car is not finished at all, there are bugs almost in every function, nothing critical, but you feel you are an explorer instead of a user. I believe they will work on them one by one and the car will a beautifully finished product is some months.
Happy with it but be aware is a product in development. A kind of Beta product….

I`m collecting my E Hybrid tomorrow.
Software bugs, that sounds extremely frustrating.
I don`t get it, it`s not like its a new concept, platform or powertrain.
It`s really nothing more than a facelift. How an earth have they got it this wrong.
What issues are you having, as I`ll check mine on collection.
I was going to go down the PHEV Range Rover Sport route, but decided to go Porsche for this very reason....when infact it looks like it`s going to be the opposite

I test drove an e hybrid coupe yesterday for around an hour. Drive is sublime.
i didn’t experience any bugs but did find there is a lot to “explore” as mentioned above in the infotainment system. I do think there will be software enhancements as time goes on just like an iPhone or any similar tech operating system.
But you’ll enjoy collecting yours tomorrow! That’s for sure!

Update....collected the car today.
It`s now back with the dealer, InoDrive isn`t operating at all.
I feel like it`s full of software bugs and based on that am now regretting my purchase.

I did see on a thread somewhere that there is an update needed for inno/ACC on top of the stop sale updates that they mentioned not even all the dealers were aware of!
hope yours gets sorted quickly!

Question for fellow Renlisters with a US hybrid order: Please check your TYD and let me know if your delivery date has changed. With last summer’s delay, my order was moved from Sept23 to Feb24. As of yesterday, my delivery date has slipped further to late May24. The interesting thing is that all of the milestones from freeze date to US port arrival date remain the same as before, but now my car is scheduled to take a three month vacation at the luxurious Port of Houston.

To give added perspective, my GT3 just showed at the dealership this morning, 50+ days earlier than TYD was "predicting" less than a month ago. Just yesterday morning, TYD updated to say the GT3 would be at the port for another 10 days. Nope, it left port later in the day. This car had 17 different sets of TYD changes, some wildly different than earlier dates.
So yeah. I've learned to not pay much attention to the dates in TYD.

There must be a reason for the delay in the US cars.
In Europe they are selling and delivering normally now. And the demand is big compared to petrol - from the first deliveries from a couple of dealers they are selling 2-3 times hybrids vs base and S. One of the dealers I know has now delivered 40 hybrids vs 20 base/S. Another one got 50 cars and 35 are hybrid.

That is due to tax reasons in Europe. In some countries there is 0% on Hybrids, whereas the base model and the S are taxed at 30-40 percent.
