As far as I know it is when the car is built and ready for the final tests before delivery or shipping. It is typically the date that shows on dealer allocation sheet as build date. If you log on Porsche with your ID you can track these dates for your car order.

 

This is what the CP8.0 description says:

Now it must pass Checkpoint 8.0—an extensive final inspection—to ensure it is up to Porsche’s rigorous standards. At our testing facility, your vehicle will be fueled and tested on the shaking roller to check for noise development in the interior. During this test, the suspension will settle, subsequently allowing the toe and camber to be set on the underbody test bench. Meanwhile, the headlights and (optional) Adaptive Cruise Control and other assistance systems are calibrated. The exhaust gas, driving and braking behaviors are all tested on the roller dynamometer, before the vehicle is cleaned, the underbody protection is mounted, and the paint is inspected. After all tests are completed and inspections passed, your vehicle will begin its next step on its journey to you.

 

Do you recall when you did the ED paperwork with your dealer? That’s when you give them passport numbers, insurance and delivery preference, etc… I think they might go by that order when they schedule ed appointments. I submitted mine signed first week of February.
Thanks!

 

So far I have not had to submit passport info, insurance, etc. Joey from PCNA ED department emailed me asking to select a date to lock. He did say he will be sending me paperwork and such shortly. I bet my SA will be ringing me up soon to come in and do final paperwork too.

Edit: just got paperwork emailed to me from PCNA ED dept.

 

Hello, I am new here. I placed an order for a Cayenne GTS Coupe on Apr 4th for European Delivery. This is my second Porsche but first time trying ED. My dealer said he is waiting for allocation and the delivery will be sometime in September. I am seeing some who placed order last week posted June delivery dates. Did anyone see dates move early?

 

Dates seem to be all over the place and maybe dealer and country likely play a role. I submitted my build in October, 2021, and just recently had the allocation finalize with euro delivery. I was given a choice of just a couple dates July 12th, or Aug 30th.

 

Thanks. Wow, that seems to be a long wait. I am from Texas, USA. I was given November/December delivery dates for regular delivery but I choose to go with ED.

 

Same long wait for me too. My order submission was last Nov. My dealer had a special ED pop up in Jan (for June Production) that I snatched up. If I didn't opt for ED I'm fairly certain I wouldn't see a car in 2022.

 

Ok good news! My build was officially confirmed today for June 10th and I got an ED for August 30th in Leipzig! This is great since it seems that things are happening as scheduled! Looks like there will be a big party in Leipzig on the 30th...

 

Amazing! Three of us thus far, what did you order?

 

992 GT3. I am coming from a 991.2 GTS and I am so thrilled to finally get the NA engine manual I always dreamed of. After 5 years on a list...

 

Congratulations! When did your dealer submit the order?

I received my docusign from Joey to sign this week. My build froze 4/6 and CP8 Is scheduled for 5/16. I’m scheduled to pick up my car in Leipzig 8/17. I’m very excited

 

I signed my second set of DocuSign papers today to pay the temporary registration taxes. ED for my GT3T is planned for late June assuming it finally exits build after 30 days!!
