Order / Production / Delivery Milestones …how accurate are they ?

[Clod Reed]

My car just went into production….5 days ahead of schedule…which is great news…. But how accurate are they?

been a Porsche victim since 2008 - I’ve ordered many many Porsche’s…and watched the “track your desperation“ schedule’s closely each time…

• ”completed” milestones are normally accurate (but sometimes the date changes “after the fact”)
• ”future” milestone dates are “best effort” “good faith” estimates that are subject to wild swings - they are actually some of the best random number generators on the internet

I generally treat the dates as “ball park” “order of magnitude” estimates - they have never in my experienced been precise or useful for planning puproses.

my $0.02 YMMV

Mine were pretty much dead on...I knew before my dealer that my Cayenne S was being delivered and the day it would arrive. Got to see it unloaded from the truck.

Hope mines in the fast lane (passing lane)

My car didn't provide TYD. The dealer kept me updated and the actual delivery date was as forecast from the order.

The shipping will depend on ship availability and then when there are enough cars to transport to the dealer. In my case for instance there were major roadworks at Sheerness restricting transporters so the dealers arranged their own transport from the docks.

I would rely more on discussions with the dealer - it helps if your car is scheduled towards month end as the sales guys have commission relying on month targets. They therefore are more on the ball regards deliveries.

i placed my order end April, dealer intimated that it would be delivery mid October. Watching TYD the milestones were pretty bang on but then went back a month after Freeze point but then a month later it came forward again and eventually took delivery end of September (dealer very keen to get car into their month end figures, of course I was happy to help out!

The milestones were pretty accurate for my Cayenne Coupe Electric. I will be accepting delivery at the Porsche Experience Center-Atlanta on Oct 21st. I also have a 2027 911 that hit milestone 8 today and is enroute from Endem to Davisville, Rhode Island. The dates have been accurate with the 911 too. It is scheduled to arrive in the US on Oct 21st.

Has yours moved on ? Just wondering

Just been told by my dealer that production started today and is due to be completed by the 23rd.
He tells me that I should get a link from Porsche tomorrow so I can track progress.
He also tells me that there is still no option of a dealer fit dashcam.

Milestone 4.
getting excited now

My dealer said the same today - no installation details for Cayenne EV dashcams.

As time goes by I am wondering if the real problem is that UK have pre wiring as standard but somehow they weren't fitted in the factory. Extreme I know but 6 months after cars being delivered no relatively straight forward instructions.

I have a US Cayenne Coupe Electric that I ordered with the dash cam prep. I am picking up the car on Wednesday at Porsche HQ in Atlanta. Let’s see what happens. I am installing a Viofo 119M Pro 4k dash cam with an aftermarket adapter that plugs into the Porsche plug.

On October 13, I reached Milestone 5.
"Your Porsche is almost ready for the Road"
On October 15, milestone 6.
"Papers ready. Protection applied. Prepared for delivery.

Now I'm waiting for it to arrive at the German Port ... by October 24. (milestone 7)

Pretty accurate for Macan EV until port Emden. Couldn't track my Cayenne but there were some problems at UK ports which delayed some deliveries. I had no problems but some did. Best to check with dealer once car leaves Emden.
