Porsche still doing ED, or permanently cancelled?

I understand Porsche provides insurance to cover the value of your car when driving around Europe but what about liability insurance? My State Farm agent tells me my liability coverage for my policy does not apply in Europe. Did Porsche offer an additional liability policy like Hertz or Other car rental companies offer at the time of rental?
"The vehicle is registered and insured in the vehicle owner’s name, however while in Europe it can be driven by anyone holding a valid driver’s license. You must submit a passport and driver's license copy for any guests who plans to drive the vehicle. The insurance is provided through AXA Insurance, and covers the vehicle up to a total loss, including theft and vandalism, less a 1,000€ deductible. The policy also includes upwards of 100 million Euro in Third Party Liability coverage."
So liability insurance is included.
Cheers

hi,
I am new here, and I am considering buying a Porsche recently. Here are my two questions:
* do you guys buy Porsche with markup, or on MSRP, or even with discount these days?
* Is ED open? If so, how can I book one please?
Thanks!

That pricing question is one that seems to vary by region and country. I live in Canada near Ottawa and I bought a new CGTS 4.0 at a 2% discount off MSRP on August 4, 2021, with no admin fees or any of the extra crap they try to add on. I later decided that I wanted to do the Euro Delivery, which costs the dealer money, for some reason, and the dealer agreed to it but kindly asked for his discount back. So, I ended up agreeing to a deal at MSRP that includes ED. In fact, we leave Sunday and pick the car up in Stuttgart on June 23rd. We are pretty pumped about that!
I see on here regularly that dealers are asking for sometimes as much as $20000 ADM, which I would just never pay. This is on top of the already healthy margins they make... We could argue this all day, regarding supply & demand, etc. You do you; I'll do me.
Regarding actually booking the ED, it was super easy. Just tick the box on the configurator and it becomes part of your Porsche code. Porsche has an ED Department that helps you arrange your trip and even has a few suggested routes or themes. As far as I know (there may be extras that I don't know about yet?), ED includes one night stay in a choice of a few hotels, a couple of taxi chits, factory delivery, a factory tour, lunch, self guided tour of the museum, a full tank of gas, license plates and insurance for up to 16 days. Extra insurance is available for extra cost. We are going for 16 days, but only have the car for 13.
At the end of your trip, you bring the car back to their shipping location in Sindlefingen (very close to Stuttgart) and drop it off. If you do not end back where you started, you can drop it off at several other places around Europe for additional fees.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

A local dealer even told me that they don't do ED now because of Covid, I am heavily doubting that. Just got the reply from Porsche US headquarter that all my local dealers have some ED active costomers. Sigh
BTW, GTS 4.0 is also my choice

FYI - Just left my Dealer where I paid for my GT3 and picking it up July at Zuffhausen - Have Hotel/Taxi/Tour/Lunch documents provided from Porsche ED - So the dealers that are telling you there is no ED are incorrect. Hope this Helps

Another ED here. Currently planning now for a late Aug collection. MSRP on the east coast US.
It is true, ED costs the dealer money, last I heard it was about $3-3.5k USD. However in return, they receive an additional allocation. In this climate, that additional allocation is worth plenty more than the $3-3.5k.

I leave on Thursday (23 June) to go to Zuffenhausen and pick up my GT3T on 28 June (spending a few days in Paris before taking the train to Stuttgart to get the car). Porsche is paying for 1 night at the Steigenberger and my welcome kit included 2 taxi vouchers. The schedule includes a factory tour, museum time and a orientation with the car in addition to lunch in the executive dining room. This is all standard accommodation (they have returned to pre-Covid accommodations) and is available to anyone who has an allocation that supports European Delivery.

We are one week apart. We'll be in Stuttgart Mon Jul 4 and Tue July 5 doing the museums and finally taking delivery the next day. Maybe we can meet up if you still happen to be in the area. After our delivery we are driving to the Jungfrau region and the mountain passess and some golf for a week and a half.

For those who have recently received an allocation, what's the process for doing Euro Delivery? The reason I ask is because I asked my Sales Rep about it and said 'we're' not doing Euro delivery because it is backed up (doing 1 per day) and with potential delays he doesn't know if they will still be producing my model (GT3) by the time Euro delivery is scheduled. Are these legit concerns or would there be a reason why a dealer would not want their customer to do Euro Delivery?

Sounds like your dealer maybe doesn't want to provide the option.
An example of timeline, mydate was requested back in Feb and confirmed IIRC in late March of early April.
