Hi, Same story in Belgium:
Deliveries are postponed by 1 month. My Panamera 4 E-Hybrid was scheduled for production during the week from the 1st till the 5th of May, and it was postponed to the week from the 29th of May till 2nd of June.
My dealer confirmed that the delay was due to Porsche fixing the braking issue that was reported by many journalists and bloggers who tried the pre-series cars in January in South Africa.
Hopefully there will be no additional delay.

Thank you very much for sharing Steph, if that is true then I think we would all be very happy to wait. Keep us in the loop with any developments and we will do the same!

quick update from my dealer. my car is now due to leave the factory at the end of May (about a 3 week delay) and so i should be picking up a couple of weeks later.
it's nice to know that it is the braking issue that's being fixed, here in the UK the dealers weren't told what the software update was fixing and we've been kept in the dark since the delay announcement was made. but, i'm happy again now and will soon be (fingers crossed!) be driving in my new Panamera 4 e-hybrid.

Ahh amazing! My dealer guy is away until Thursday so hopefully I will have similar news on his return! Must hear first impressions and see pics!

thorfun

this forum will be the first to hear! :-)

So I contacted my dealer and he has no knowledge of any delays. My e-Hyrbrid is still showing as entering production on June 16th with delivery to Emden on June 30th waiting for a ship to San Diego. I am hoping the LA Delivery Experience will be accepting new cars before mine arrives but thus far they are not and have given no indication of when they will.

I will be very interested to hear from thorfun and ajriches01 when they receive their cars how they drive and if in fact the braking issue has been resolved.

thorfun

and I look forward to being able to tell you!

thorfun

i believe it was the first batch of cars being built at the beginning of May that were affected by the delay. As mine is now due to leave the factory by the end of the month i would say that the software update has been completed and there should be no further delays for June build cars. fingers crossed for you!

ajriches01

Ah the problem with being an early adopter! I actually took a cancelled slot as otherwise would be expecting a September delivery. Anyone now well into 2018 apparently.

ajriches01

Car is apparently built, update determined and with all Hybrids which have been built, is waiting to be applied. Next step is boat. So it sounds like the same story as Thor and will hear any day when it's on the boat!

On the positive side, 911 Cabrio S this weekend and a GTS next weekend. Every cloud!

thorfun

great news AJ! not long now I hope.

thorfun

i was told today that my car is still showing as being at the factory but the computer system isn't the most reliably updated one! so mine could've left the factory or could still be sat there. your guess is as good as mine!
I'm hoping to receive some more updated information within the next day or two.

Thanks for the update, my guy is out until Thursday...it's the waiting that gets you.

Didn't get the C4S in the end as someone sold it...politely declined a Macan 2.0 (we are spoiled).

thorfun

i don't have a car at the moment. i have to keep borrowing the wife's ML or hurtle around on my Suzuki SV650.

Can't wait to get my car!
