Just seen this on Reddit and thought it looked superb.


If that’s frozen blue metallic that’s what I ordered. Wasn’t sure about it but looks pretty good in that pic.

I think it’s one of those pictures where I think it looks great, but I wouldn’t want to own a car in that colour scheme!

Be interested to hear what you think when you get back in-have you heard when dealers expect to re-open?

Delivery expected mid-June.

My OPC has opened after sales this week...as I believe have all the Sytner OPC’s. No idea when Sales is opening. I have a service appointment booked next week so hopefully the Taycan will be there to look at.

I got fed up waiting for my Taycan 4S to turn up so just brought a Taycan Turbo from dealer stock, should arrive in next couple of days, super excited! The issue I have now is the potential loss of my £5k deposit from the 4S, I’m guessing legally nothing I can do as car is already built, so if anyone is in the market for a 4S drop me a message and we can see what we can sort. Car order is with Porsche Solihull and ‘should’ arrive in next few weeks. Build code is - PLXWQAY0

I saw a Taycan outside my OPC today when I was dropping a car off for service. Dark Blue with the Mission E wheels....looked superb I thought.

Fantastic... enjoy! Let us know your thoughts on options, I have a while before I have to think about speccing mine (a ST/CT next year) but any thoughts as to what's worth spending on and what isn't is always welcome

Where did you get the cancellation from? I'm hearing all cars stuck in Germany and / or no cancellations etc.

Emailed a few main dealers, had three or four cars offered to me, brought a Turbo which was close in spec to what I was looking for. I’m now taking that 4S when ever it turns up as my wife wants one now 🙄

Gotta say, I'm by no means a fan of electric cars (basic flawed concept.. lets leave it to another day though).

However, quite excited to see these Taycans reaching their lucky new owners. Its an eventful moment for Porsche, a bit like the shift to water-cooled 911s back in the 90's, a big change for the company.

I placed a £5k deposit last year the day they were announced....was told initially I’d have to wait a year if I wanted a Turbo. Then in Jan I was asked to send in my spec for a 4S/Turbo. Did that and heard nothing. Got a call in Feb saying I could have a Turbo S in June if I specced in 24 hours. Have since heard nothing. Going to given them a couple of weeks to see if they can remember how to sell cars....if they can’t I’ll cancel.

No clue what’s going on...have bought several cars from them in the past and always had good customer service.

Who was the dealer? Hatfield came good. I placed the £5k deposit on a Turbo back in July last year and changed to the 4S when it was announced in September. My deposit was the first and they delivered my car first. Service was not 100% as expected from a premium brand but no messing around in terms of my place in the queue.

I did the same but as i guessed there was going to be a lengthy delay i bought a Cayenne instead in March..I've still got a £5k deposit in for a Taycan 4S which i'm expecting end of the year which suits me..Got offered a demo 4S recently which i politely declined as it had been specced all the way to £112K..I have a self imposed limit of £100k for a 4S with Battery plus to mitigate depreciation.
