ETA for a build slot

[dba]

Hi all,

I put down my deposit about a month ago and still haven’t got a build slot. It’s for a Turbo (21” wheels, so those shouldn’t be causing the delay).

The dealer warned me there’s supposedly high demand for the Turbo and that it’ll be hard to get a build slot quickly.

What’s the expected ETA for a build slot these days?

Cheers!

Next year. Less Turbo models will be built per dealer allocation typically.

As the electric is being built on the same line as the ICE then slot allocation will be a bit of a lottery. If the ICE models are more popular than the EV then logically they will allocate them more and quicker slots.

But next year? That seems unreasonable…

Are talking next calendar year or next model year? I think it is the latter and 2027 new allocations could be literally starting months from now.

My dealership sold out all variant allocations 2 months ago.

Remember this is half way through the year effectively and so not a full year allocation is possible.

I am interested in a base Cayenne EV and was told the earliest delivery would now be April 2027.

Regional variations apply of course.

Calendar. You can place a deposit but no delivery'until next year. Allocations are thin on the ground.

When would the first of the 2027 allocations become available for dealers in turn to give to a customer?

So this is due to the high demand of the EV and/or ICE, or a new model slower production ramp up? .. I would not mind slow delivery and long wait, if they take their time, making sure that quality assurance is good.

Thanks W1NGE; I forgot that Cayenne’s 2027 allocation process will be different from other models.

You might get lucky - cancelled unlocked order, perhaps.
