Love the quick update tho. Thanks.
Yes I am not sure IF CARB approval has occurred or not yet but my SA called me back today and my car was released from the port today. Expects to have it in a few days and should get it probably in next week or so after Memorial day since I am out of town like many on previous travel/business. A welcome surprise tho...I think Porsche has decided as my SA said or given permission to release all pending cars to customers in non-CARB states if indeed CARB approval has yet to be granted....or maybe as Lizard says they are indeed all cleared.
Sounds like you guys are gonna have one great delivery and road trip as well. Mind sharing the online manual location as well as what YouTube videos you are seeing/watching for the rest of us? Car looks great what a color!

My SA and I talked today...will do paperwork this weekend before I head out of town.
Congrats...looks amazing!

Do you like in a CARB state? CARB told me that they have not approved hybrids. mdrobc1213, above, posted that he’s been told that Porsche is releasing hybrids to non-CARB states.

The helpful people at Porsche would not allow me to see their sacred text until I actually bought the car, but lo and behold going to manual.porsche.com brought up a tutorial style on-line manual that explains about all you need to know. Select Cayenne on the lower right. My browser translated it from German and apparently you have to accept the cookies in order to play the videos.

there are a couple of good YT tutorials. This one from Porsche of Austin: is long but well done.

Congrats on the delivery
I got montego blue coupe hybrid, but mine is S.

Yes my car arrived at the dealership this evening. Am trying to coax a pic or two now before I head out of town this weekend for Memorial day. but yes If I could swap my schedule and work things I could pick it up this weekend. They have 3 other hybrids in route that arrived with mine that are ahead of me in terms of delivery I think. As said my SA said they got word early last week to notify customers cars were likely to be released to dealers earlier than planned and they expected their cars before end of the month likely. They were more right than TYD which up until the day before yesterday still had my car as delivery expected 28 Jun 2024. But yes my SA confirmed today when the car arrived that dealers in non-CARB states are allowed to take delivery for sales to non-CARB state customers. Assume CARB release shall follow shortly and some on the RL have posted mid June maybe, Will let you know what I hear.

Gawd... When folks in Nashville (and elsewhere) have to ask a regulator in California if they can have their car. California has such an outsized influence over the 49 other states. Folks should ask their House and Senate representatives why, do they let one state have such power over the rest of the US.

Sorry for the rant.

There is an upside for those in states that follow the CA regulations. That is many $$$ parts have longer warranties, eg injectors and coil packs. If I remember correctly it's 7 years.

No problem. Understand. If Tenn is NOT a CARB state then have faith that you'll get your car soon. Porsche is releasing cars now at least to non-CARB states to customers. Took my delivery today. 2024 Cayenne S e hybrid coupe! . Fingers crossed for you and the rest of you guys waiting for cars!
