Sooo… had an email from my dealer today, placed my order for the GTS in January 22, have been given a December 22 build date. Don’t know whether to be upset at this or
Happy
.
Ahh well, when should I expect to lock in my spec?
It got me looking at a Cayenne coupe platinum e-hybrid….
Waiting to hear back from the dealer
Sounds about par for the course. I ordered my GTS in Feb 22, was anticipating a 12 month wait. So early 23 build slot. Might contact my SE soon for an update if people are getting December build slots.
Some members here have been saying that in June OPCs got their allocations of builds for the remainder of the year so they can tell when people will get build slots. Maybe you just outside of that?
Yep - hopefully the case. Was going to update my spec anyway with the MY23 changes, so part of that will be asking for an updated estimate on the build slot. Q1 23 i will be fine with. Long as there's light at the end of the tunnel.

Just been informed that my S is showing a leave factory date of 10/5, having previously been 03/04, so this would be a 5 week delay. Not too bad under the circumstances.
Our orders were built around the same time. I assume that your delivery has slipped too. Any news on when you'll get it ?
Sorry, this probably won’t make you feel any better but it was delivered to my OPC on Monday of last week and I picked up on Friday. Everything present and correct apart from the electronic steering wheel adjustment and I was given Cayman manuals rather than the Macan ones!
I can however confirm that it is an awesome car and I have absolutely no regrets!

No worries it just confirms the BS we have to swallow. Still, to get my own back, there are other OPCs I can choose to get ripped off by when I get it serviced.

I got my allocation few weeks ago - deposit Sep 21 and also told of similar delivery times.
Either your OPC has a ridiculously short wait list for the GTS or you have seriously jumped the queue.

Ordered a GTS in August 21. Primer with black Spyders and enhanced leather and carbon interior.
Car has been built and has crossed the water. Dealership expects it to be in next week and ready for collection by 30th June.
This is starting to get real…..Bring it on!

You've dropped lucky, azmj: September 21 deposit here, and don't expect to see mine before Nov/Dec. Recently had my latest email update from my OPC and they stated
"What we are finding is that the cars that were meant to be build through march & April are now coming through. Porsche have now confirmed some allocation moving forward but certainly not enough to cover all our order demand" So that puts us back from a Q3 to a Q4 delivery unless something unusual occurs.

I’m not counting my chickens yet, but that’s what I’ve been advised by the OPC will see what Saturday brings.

Ditto also picking up on Saturday.
Still trying to sort out the £360 off for manual column. The invoice says 14 way seats are £1044. Was the price previously £1404 ? Can't tell from the configurator as it automatically shows current prices.

14 way seats were £1044 when I config'd my order at the back end of Oct '21, although there was a price increase in mid-Nov. Not sure if that was just base or base + options.
