Hopefully we will both receive updated info overnight.

Mine just updated to say Production won’t be complete until March 18th now . That’s seemingly over a month in production.

Did yours update Hawk?

A month in production seems to be a little excessive. Wonder if they are waiting for a part / parts? Possibly PCCBs?

Mine just updated as well with just a change of 3 days. I have no idea why My Porsche portal has moved to the next milestone - Scheduled for Production. In TYD my Scheduled for Production milestone is April 1st.

Could be the PCCBs.

I’ll see if my SA can find out what’s going on in the morning but he may be as much in the dark as we are.

Were you able to get any explanation for the delay?

Just received another email from Porsche concerning my Change Freeze Point and when I checked my TYD I can see that it is updating again. I understand they are doing their best to remanufacture the cars lost on the Felicity Ace but, these frequent very minor changes are a bit much.

I'm sure the Felicity Ace disaster isn't helping, but I had fairly similar experiences with both my '18 and '21 cars. The dates bounced around so much on the '18, I kind of gave up and told my dealer to call me when the car made it to port. That one arrived two months later than they initially told me. For the '21, they made changes to my configuration (at my request) long after the 'lock' date, yet delivered the car two month early. I've had other people tell me their cars progressed exactly as Porsche said it would -- so maybe just the luck of the draw, I dunno.

Old cars had gauges that reported whatever they were seeing, so the gauges would move up and down with conditions, etc. New cars feed the raw signals into a computer, which then generates a consistent and comforting gauge reading, without bouncing around to reflect every transitory change. Porsche might want to do that when it reports production progress to its customers.

Great idea. Or just report changes once per week or every other week prior to production.

What's driving me nuts is that the changes are bouncing back and forth every other day and at the end of the week I am right back to where I was last week. That is unless they change again tomorrow.

My SA said they’re seeing a lot of dates shift due to having to remake the Felicity Ace cars. Mine was a couple of days late going into the body shop but it’s in production so I wouldn’t have thought it would have been delayed by over a month. The projected dates may be totally wrong so I guess I’ll wait and see.

I received an another email from Porsche this afternoon regarding my Change Freeze Point and when I checked my TYD it appears that they are changing the date back to where it was before they made the change yesterday. So these dates appear to be bouncing all over the place. Hopefully, you will receive a Completed Production update any day now. My fingers are crossed for you.

Hi All, I have a 992 Carrera 4 GTS on order. Got the allocation and it was due on April 29, now they are pushing my delivery date back. So far is a month, could be more. I guess it has to do with the ship that caught on fire. Porsche is planning on reordering all the 1,100 cars that were lost. I do understand the customers that were waiting on their cars and lost them, just upset with the delays. I've been waiting since last July.

Hi Eric, unfortunately you’re not the only person that got the dates changed, my GTS was scheduled to go in production 2 days ago and delivery was mid April n now it’s June or possibly July, and those changes were made before the ship fire last week, I’m sure the loss of the 1100 Porsche’s will effect further more, there is shortage of 2 major parts, PCCB & Aerokit, if your car has any of those 2 options those are what causing the delay so far, hope your delay won’t be as much

Hi Eric, I know this is not much consolation but, it appears the majority of us that are waiting have all been delayed for various different reason - PCCBs, Aerokit, RORO shipping schedules, etc.

What is the status of your build? Sounds like your GTS was very close to production or possibly even completed if you were originally expecting delivery on April 29th.

In addition to the parts shortages Porsche has cars backed up at the port of Emden. This backup existed even before the Felicity Ace fire and now seems to have gotten worse. I know of several that were / have been sitting there for approximately two months. Unfortunately, a neighbor of mine had a Gulf Blue Panamera waiting at Emden for over two months and then it was loaded on the Felicity Ace. This is the current note Porsche has posted on TYD:
"Note: Vehicles presently awaiting shipment from Germany are currently undergoing scheduling updates, and additional scheduling changes might occur."
