Mines there too, I was told over 500 cars there at the moment.
That doesn’t sound too bad? The ferries take c. 5000 cars and 3 trips a week, albeit capacity is shared with other manufacturers?Picked up the car 28th April. It's brilliant. Worth the wait.

Expect maybe another three weeks. My car went to Emden late March. The compound was full and it was transported to a VW compound in Creutzwald, France, just south of the Luxembourg border. Stayed there for two weeks and was then transported back to Emden. Went on the ferry 13th April, arrived in Sheerness the following day, but then another 10 days before arriving at the dealership.

Glad to hear it - thanks for the information!Picked up the car 28th April. It's brilliant. Worth the wait.

My car has now been produced and is at Emdem, waiting for a ferry to bring it to these shores. Unfortunately it appears there are quite a few cars already there, so at this stage not clear exactly how long it will take.
Car is on the ferry and will be delivered to my dealer before the end of next weekend.

Looks like another stop-sale on Taycans, reason currently unknown. I was due to collect my car yesterday but the handover was cancelled.
The dealership have kindly lent me a Taycan Turbo S in the meantime.

Well for now I’m enjoying the loan car and learning about the technology.I think I'm more and more regarding mine a bullet dodged.
The Taycan is a massively impressive car and (despite its weight) has been set up to perform like a Porsche. I have found charging extremely straightforward (using both AC and DC infrastructure) and usability is great.
As a daily driver for both short and long trips, it will meet my requirements. The acceleration is fairly addictive.
However, despite the ultimate pace, it’s not the sort of car you take out for a Sunday morning drive for the sake of it. However I knew that and that’s not why I bought it.
It does mean that I’ll definitely be looking for a GT3 for the garage in due course.

Congratulations… hope it’s living up to your expectations? Looks beautiful…..On last day of a week touring round North Yorkshire in my 4SCT adding 500 miles and found the charging to be a joy. Been a huge influx of new superfast chargers in this area over the last few months and most of them seem deserted. I know it doesn’t always work like this but it’s been effortless and stress free.

I have been using the dealers Taycan Turbo S for the last few weeks, so already have some experience of using chargers when making longer trips away from home and both Gridserve and Ionity chargers have been faultless for me.On last day of a week touring round North Yorkshire in my 4SCT adding 500 miles and found the charging to be a joy.

Petrolheads won’t like me saying this but….
Our Taycan GTS has been faultless over 15k miles
and what an incredible car. Quiet, comfortable extremely quick,and corners like it’s on rails.
In fact I’ve been so impressed I’ve put a letter of intent to
purchase a Taycan Turbo GT.
I’ve driven or been a passenger in a number of Electric vehicles and the Taycan is the best by a country mile
