And I would always go for full leather, it gives that real premium feeling.

Panorama roof is standard in US. Not sure why your dealer indicated no knowledge regarding the delays but there have in fact been substantial delays for the e-hybrid 2018 models in the US. My car went into the body shop on June 23rd, is now showing as completed on July 25th (over a month in the body shop??) and is still not slated for a ship. Next boat is leaving Emden on August 24th and I'm hoping it will be on that one but so far no information. Further, all 2018 Porsche models have been held up in San Diego port for extensive period of time and a few 2018s (not the e-hybrid) have just started to be released. To the best of my knowledge no 2018 e-hybrids have been delivered yet in the US. I don't even believe any have actually shipped from Emden yet. If someone has contrary information I would very much like to hear about your experience.

As far as the sports exhaust, that was sent to my dealer by some person high up at Porsche and he advised me when they say "up to six months" it usually means six months, but again maybe worse case scenario as well. Either way, Im not gonna risk that even if its a total bummer. I really wanted it. Im hoping these fools can get their epa crap figured out asap cause that directly effects the federal tax credit as well. I guess we'll see.
My freeze date is the first week of October so hoping for more info by then

maybe none of their ehybrids are delayed yet because none were slated to be delivered yet. Not sure. They did show me about half the cars at port were just cleared in the email yesterday, but none of them were panameras.

My California dealer confirmed they got an email from Porsche yesterday indicating that the e-hybrids coming to the USA will not be delivered to customers until emissions validation with EPA occurs in December.

short update regarding delivery of my e-Hybrid:
it was supposed to be built this week, planned delivery to the dealer next week.
just talked to my dealer who confirmed that the car is gonna be marked in the system for delivery mid of next week, pick-up planned for end of next week.
the car has the sports-exhaust (black) included, order was done in May, so thanks god no delay due to that! maybe they recently got too many oders with the sports exhaust option which potentially could delay orders from now on - although nothing stated in the online configurator on that yet.
looking so much forward to end of next week, will post some pictures after the pick-up! ;-)

Great news hymo! And a relief for you that you have got your sports exhaust too! Roll on next week and your collection!
P.S. I have now done over 7,000 miles in my Panamera 4 and am loving it!

Try to contact for brokers, like DSR Leasing, and try to get quotations about your choice of car. Surely, they will provide you information about it if this is true.

To the best of my knowledge no US bound 2018 E-Hybrids have left Germany thus far. Not sure how they actually perform the EPA certification?? Does anyone know how it is completed?
