With software this is becoming pretty common - my wife's BMW iX was held up in a stop sale for 3 weeks. My 2024 Cayenne e-hybrid order has been pushed back 2 months. In both cases - I just roll with the punches and in fact the timing has worked out better. The days of ordering a car and getting it exactly when you want it are over. Deal with it or dont custom order a new car. Its going to be too painful if your expectations are different.

STOP delivery is sad but it is ok. I think what I am frustrating more is the poor communication from dealer and porsche. Everyone is getting different information all the time, no commitment date etc..

Yeah, stop sales happen with every brand, I'm ok waiting and glad it is already in the US even though it is stuck at the port. I agree the communication has been spotty at best and the forum's should not have better information than the SA's ... my $0.02

Same crock of s*** going in with the X5. Stop sale related to software issue with the Driver’s Assistance Pkg. My M60i produced last week arrived at the dealer yesterday. Sales Mgr says a fix coming by weekend. We will see!

Sorry to hear that... the software issue amazes me always... I had an issue with my driver's window in a Mercedes and they fixed it with software... not a switch or motor or anything hardware related...

Agreed. Today's cars are complex computer driven systems. It’s usually software or firmware and I don’t pretend to understand it. I loved the lack of tech in my 2002 C4.

So... power windows or are you old enough to remember roll down with or without a side vent ? LOL

old enuf to remember my Dad’s ‘51 Plymouth with 3 on the tree!

I am a software engineer. The problem is that in the past 10 or so years the entry level to IT has dropped significantly. I mean, nowadays almost anyone can become a coder with a slight dedication to learning the stuff for 3-4 months and then land a job writing ****ty code and not understanding the principles of a good software. Of course, companies that are willing to earn more, quickly realized that it's cheaper to pay for software (even a ****ty one), than manufacture real mechanical components. Porsche outsources it's software development, which makes it even worse.

There is still a stop sale, how are they delivering it? My car isn’t in the recall range and doesn’t need an update but I can’t get it because Porsche said no.
Great for you, post some feedback once you have it! More nonsense and misinformation for the rest of us unfortunately.

sevasnex

I assume that if the software fix has been applied, the car is free to be sold, no?

UD24PCS

would like to think that, makes logical sense, however my car doesn’t need an update and I can’t take delivery. So, who knows what the real story is or what the rules are.

I always say "software is hard, hardware is easy".

I have been following multiple source and social media. From what I have seen, only Canadian dealer has confirmed the software been updated and can release the car. None of the US dealer has confirmed anything yet.
