Agreed when it comes to the option of having wheels painted. It's not something i have much experience with but i get the impression it can be extremely successful these days
The irony of the whole wheel/delay debacle is that i also accepted the compromise so as to keep my build slot otherwise the next slot with Techno Turbonite was September. I'm delayed to September now anyway
The best example i've come across of Turbonite and Vanadium is Tomi Auto's 911 Turbo S...
If nothing else it demonstrates how poorly the configurator renders Turbonite
STOP IT!!! 😭 I've spent an hour this morning finding images of the Exclusive Design Wheels on actual cars... maybe i can convince myself to love them.. It's definitely the Turbonite element that i crave. Stupid Gloss black :CWL:
It seems buying a Porsche, having zero patience and a strong sense of FOMO all go hand in hand. Gulity! :)
Ahhh yes, the traditional Porsche summer shutdown. That could explain a lot. At least my car will now be a September 76 reg.
I'm sure in 6 months the agony of all the delays and lack of...
That's a much better representation. Even if i can't switch back to Sport Techno i'd now much prefer Turbonite Blades on the Cayenne Exclusive. I really feel like i F**ked up going with too much gloss black.
It's always tricky ordering a new model, with nothing real to see. I guess mistakes will...
Exactly this! already expecting the bog standard response that i'm locked in... i'll happily accept this but i want to hear it from a source outside the dealership. I want reassuring that the question was genuinely pushed further up the chain of command
I had to switch from the Sport Techno Turbonite and went for the 22-inch Cayenne Exclusive Design, Gloss Black Blades.
I'm sure they'll look great in person but i'm now concerned there'll be too much Gloss Black. Also annoyed with myself that i allowed the colour renderings on the Configurator...
I got the impression that Alloy Wheels in general are causing delays. Which seems quite ridiculous. Of all the 1000's of components that have to come together in order to create the finished product, who would think Alloy Wheels could cause such an issue.
I did push back and question whether...
Today I learned that my original estimated delivery of Mid-July has slipped. It had already slipped to early August. Now I'm being told Mid-September. "Delay campaigns against Alloy Wheels" is the reason apparently. Extra frustrating for me, as I already had to sacrifice my first choice wheel...
I think that actually makes it worse :CWL: I'm hopefully about a month away from delivery and need that additional resource to check multiple times a day to help stave off my impatience... i regularly configure my car so i can look at it for a bit
UK Paint to Sample now fully operational... I think i'm glad i'm already locked in with Free Vanadium because if i was spec'ing now i'd almost certainly be spending the extra £7,913 😓
I find your timeline very interesting... in theory we should be very much in sync. I paid my deposit 27th April, with a predicted delivery for mid July. I have since heard delivery is now more likely end of July. I have asked a few times about a VIN but apparently there's nothing as of yet.
I...
Agreed! i had my heart set on Turbonite 22 Sport-Techno. Was told on lock day that no Sport Techno were available at all (i think they've all been used up on press cars)
Fortunately for me all other designs were still available. I opted for Cayenne Design, Gloss Black, Polished Fronts. They were...
