Yes. I contemplated S E-Hybrid but my wife doesn't need the extra HP (and it's really her car not mine) so we stuck with our original build. We did build with all the options (i.e. Air suspension, 22" wheels, tech package, sport design front bumper) so the ultimate price difference was really $4K. Now, if the S E-hybrid has the V8, no brainer but as it was the same engine, we decided to pass.
On Edit: My sales guy just told me that my base hybrid has been released to the transport company to move it from Freeport, TX to Houston (about a 2-3 hour ride).
Nice...that means many next week or so? Maybe Porsche really has approved release of the cars to certain markets?

Unfortunately I don’t see any approvals for the Turbo hybrid on the EPA or CARB websites.
Yes the Turbo hybrids still seem to be MIA on the EPA and CARB sites...no mention of certification release but should be sooner than later right?

Congrats man...mine still shows 6/28 delivery date and is sitting in JAX for now. Will see what the weekend brings..maybe updates since my SA said they expect the car by end of the month? Inquiring minds want to know right..but hey its within 45 days now so yes this IS starting to get exciting...almost!
Today I got a call from a SA in FL saying he has a MY24 base E-Hybrid Cayenne Coupe just delivered on the ground and ready for test drive. I'm not sure if it's ready for sale, but it's apparently there.
My own base E-Hybrid Cayenne (non-Coupe) build has been sitting at port in Jacksonville for weeks. No sign or call as to when it might be delivered to PEC Atlanta for my delivery.

Well sounds like some cars are indeed moving toward dealers! .
Congrats!

Yep. Dealer said PCNA projects certification no later than 7/14. And that it’s a conservative date, probably will happen sooner. But really it’s anyone’s guess from now till late July.
Looks like CARB Board meets on 5/23 and I got a call from my SA saying they got a call today to start notifying customers to expect to take delivery shortly and earlier than planned. SA seems to think that they may be able to get the car shortly and set up delivery at end of the month earliest and early Jun more likely. So fingers crossed maybe Porsche NA has decided to release hybrid cars to non-CARB state orders vs wait until end of June or maybe they expect CARB to act quickly after their meeting next week? Fingers cross and prayers to all!
I'm receiving the same notice from our SA regarding our Turbo EH Coupe.
Interesting correspondence with my friends at CARB below. In other news, my base hybrid has arrived at my dealer in TX (see pic). Since we're headed out to the beach with the grand kids this week, I'll get it next week.

It's beautiful!!! We ordered out (non-coupe) in Carrera White with the sport fascia and 22"! It should be getting PPF and other prep work done but I have no updates as my SA is on vacation until Wednesday. It feels like the last 30 minutes of a 14 hour flight that feels like eternity!!!
Can't wait to see your photos. Mine is also same color combo with carbon fiber interior trim, silvershade interior accent and chalk deviated stitching. Delivery ETA is Aug for me...literally counting the days.

So will they release it to you in TX without CARB approval?
That looks great. Mine is blue too but Algarve Blue Metallic.. I also notice you had a 40th anni (as did I)?
