Production / Delivery Delays

[Acropora]

I should know this after two cars recently, but what is the significance of the Lock Date? Whatever it is, this doesn't sounds like great news.

Unfortunately, it is not good news. The Lock Date (technically "Freeze Point" in Porsche speak) is the date the build is frozen (no changes permitted) and will commence production shortly thereafter. I'll have to wait until the other milestones are updated overnight to see how this impacts delivery. Every week now this build gets delayed by an additional two weeks. Just keeps getting pushed further and further out. Don't know if this is specifically related to the PCCB issue. My SA is going to attempt to find out but, Porsche being Porsche, I very much doubt we will receive a specific response.

That sucks. Sorry to hear about the delays. It will be an amazing car when you finally get it but this is so disappointing.

My GTS has the PCCBs spec'd and it went into production on 2/1. TYD is still down on that order so I don't know if anything changed. I thought the PCCBs on the GTS were the same as the GT3, maybe not. Mine locked early January so maybe that's why it wasn't delayed.

I was given the option to do Paint to Sample on my car but it would have delayed it by 2 months. I decided not to wait as I was afraid of what else would be in short supply by that time.

I just did some changes for my GTS order yesterday, and as I mentioned last week they bumped my build date from last week of February to end of April, after my salesperson did some digging around found out that the delay is caused by the Aerokit also shortage of PCCB

Yeah, I was told back in January that if I wanted the Aerokit that I’d have to wait an extra 3 months.

This afternoon my TYD is indicating that my Lock Date is being delayed an additional two weeks. Will not be able to see the details until tomorrow am as the system updates the individual milestones overnight. Spoke to my SA and he will inquire to see if we can learn the cause. I will update if I learn anything further.

UPDATE: This morning I can see in my TYD that I have now been delayed an additional month. My current delivery date (this is the fourth revision) is now June 10th - April 15th build. I'm going to have to carefully consider whether I really want the PCCBs as this seems to be the reason for the additional delay. I'm also looking into a Surface Transforms conversion after delivery. My SA told me that it appears that orders with iron breaks are being moved up and those with PCCBs are being delayed.

In addition to the Order Stop for PCCBs my SA has informed me that there is now an Order Stop for PTS as well.

Apparently Porsche is experiencing longer than anticipated logistical delays due to COVID and supply shortages. There are delays at the factory, Port of Emden, and with the RORO Shipping Line.

Great Seems to be getting worse day by day

My Taycan arrived at the dealer yesterday . Late delivery mostly due to being at Emden port for over a month.

I think the 911 may take a while to be delivered. It’s been stuck at “Scheduled for Production” and has missed the Production Start date by a week so far but TYD has a tendency not to update all the time so maybe it’s in production.
With all the delays these days I’m preparing myself for a long wait for this one.

The delays at Emden seem to be significant. I personally know several others who have experienced delays very similar to your Taycan. One in particular has already missed being put on three vessels including missing the Felicity Ace which departed this past Thursday. From what I have heard the cars have been backing up simply because there are not enough ships. Several have been cancelled due to COVID.

Check your TYD today. It seemed to be updating for most of the day yesterday.

Unfortunately, it does. Just hope it stabilizes and doesn't get any worse.

I’ve already checked today, trying not to check it every hour . It wasn’t working at all for me last week.

TYD was indicating some very strange dates yesterday. At one point it moved up my production and delivery back to where they were a couple of months ago. I was delighted but, then disappointed when I checked this morning and it was back to the delayed dates I received this past week. Have to wonder if it is a personnel issue, which I suspect, or a systems issue, or both?
