Just for some balance, I have a November 1st Registred 2024 Cayenne E-Hybrid now with with over 2000 miles covered and it has been faultless. Very impressed with it and i have owned the 2 previous generations (non hybrid).
This is what makes no sense. If it's a software fault how are there cars on the road without the so called fault.

Its all very odd.
Good question which i will ask my Dealer Principle when we next speak. I can only assume there is some homologation issue which requires a software update and that my car just escaped the forced stop sale. It was my OPCs first 2024 E-Hybrid. Maybe my car will also need the update but as a recall rather than stop sale.

My OPC quoted the same information, also mentioned of a goodwill compensation that will be given for the delay, any ideas what they may offer considering the car has been at the dealer for 3-4 months now

Goodwill/compensation is case specific over and above the delay for everyone who has had their car stuck in the stop-sale - your dealer should have put in a claim for this with justification/evidence on your behalf.

PUK/OPC also should have offered a hire/loan car.

PUK not known for throwing money at customers in these type of situations and don't seem too fussed either if you walked away - in fact the dealers will fully reimburse and honour an unwind if that's what a customer wants.

Anyone else waiting for 1st March? 5-6 weeks waiting, is it really worth it?

Anyone else get notified by dealer that the fix doesn't appear to work

Our OPC told us today that they have resolved the apparant software glitch and have successfully test loaded the software into one of their vehicles. Deliveries could start by month end. It appears that the patch needs a vehicle specific code for each vehicle which Porsche are in the process of advising to the dealer network

That’s good news re the software patch. My OPC was testing Friday. I’d want to wait for 24 plates as that seems sensible at this point in time. I’d be interested to know what everyone is doing, will others wait until 1st March?

I wonder if now that the patch is out and being deployed there will be a small glut of new, unregistered Cayenne hybrids from people who got tired of waiting for the patch.

I've been told mine is now all sorted so I'm planning to pick up this weekend smile

We still don't know what the specific problem was - my guess is it was WLTP/BIK stats related (i.e. not safety/mechanical) as seems strange there was no recall for cars that got out to customers. It was also only the UK that had the stop-sale as far as I am aware?

Looking to spec one up and can't decide if the 's' has enough extra to make it worthwhile, who has ordered what and why ? Also back to the options problem assume all leather dash is a must, I'll put BOSE and active Cruise (don't ask I just like it), what else.

Anyone got a depreciation crystal ball I normally use 50% gone after 3 years.

Very pleased with ours so far....we went for base eHybrid Coupe but added cruise, auto parking, rear wheel steer, RS Spyder wheels. Upgraded seats, leather, Bose and heated screen.

What’s the real-world difference of rear seating space in the coupe? I’ve sat in both so I know there’s perhaps an inch less headroom but would welcome lived experiences. Eg does it feel claustrophobic because there’s less light?

The S has a 468HP V8 that sounds frickin amazing with the sports exhaust. Definitely worth it. biggrin

Apologies I meant the e-hybrid, love the idea of V8 but fuel could be interesting, in hybrid the 's' has slightly better performance (same v6) and air suspension but not much else for your £8k
