Taycans for sale at more than list
Discussion
I have a Taycan Turbo arriving in Oct and am an impatient type so...enquired on 2 advertised cars today both of which turned out to be £8k and £10k over list respectively.
Plenty of Taycan orders are being cancelled is my understanding - I just wondered if anyone else agreed that those asking for “overs” are likely to get quite badly burned?

I don’t know about all these cancelled orders....found it difficult to get a car despite having put my deposit down as soon as car was launched last Sep. Have now changed to the Crossover which suits our needs better....will replace a Macan,
I’ve not seen anyone on here post they’ve just got a cancelled order and now getting a car much earlier ?
Surely the premium is people chancing their arm as there are so few about...there will always be people who want the latest thing and we all know OPC’s give early cars to their “best”customers who don’t actually want a run of the mill Porsche but buy a car every three or six months So they get RS build slots.

Can only assume they have had cancelled orders

I have a mate looking for one - the cancelled orders are either 1) Overly spec'd to the hilt or 2) Missing some major important options (e.g Sports Chrono, nice wheels, Bose or Sunroof) and 3) Silly spec/colours
Saying that even they are snapped up pretty quickly.
Delivery times are still 6 months + from most dealers. Values will remain strong for now but not sure about a premium. Guess there will be some nice spec cars that may fetch a premium to those who want one now.
Had mine 3 months now and f
king love the thing.

king love the thing. My OPC were in touch today as my sales rep is back from furlough. I hadn’t been chasing it as I’d been quoted a > 14 month wait and so was planning for next March. I think a business lease would suit best, both for the tax breaks and to mitigate against much newer technology coming along quickly after purchase.
It was mentioned that sports chrono is essential. I was wondering why so on an electric car? Especially given one then has to put up with ugly clock in the dash.

I've specced my 4S PP up to £103K but left Sport Chrono out as i see no real benefit in it..It was mentioned that sports chrono is essential. I was wondering why so on an electric car? Especially given one then has to put up with ugly clock in the dash.

I've got it on my car, but I don't know what is missing if you don't have it... e.g. do you not get the multifunction wheel? Can you select Sport Plus through the centre control system rather than the mode switch? I think it is worth it alone for the individual configuration button if you don't get that normally.It was mentioned that sports chrono is essential. I was wondering why so on an electric car?

- GT multifunction sports steering wheel including mode switch for selecting driving modes Range, Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual
- Analogue and digital stopwatch
- Sport Plus mode with performance-oriented tuning of chassis, Porsche Active Aerodynamics and temperature control of the performance battery
- Individual mode for individual configuration of the settings for driving mode, chassis, chassis-level and Porsche Electric Sport Sound (note: settings options depend on the equipment)
- PSM Sport mode
Lol. In fairness I've ended up adding options to cars that I really didn't know what they did so I'm no smarter but I really have to hand it to the likes of Porsche (and many others) how they have managed to create this situation of "must have" options that are rarely all that "must have".

I have noticed the 992 Turbo S is also offered over list in the adverts. Do we think they sell there? Would be first time ever for a Turbo S model?
It was pretty hard to get a 991.2 Turbo S, and the new one is supposedly even better. And OPCs are not getting that many so long waiting lists.DMC2 said:

I assume most charging is at home, but how easy is it at the services?
Ideally I’d like a charging unit in my garage, but it’d be great if it could also function outside of the garage, without needing to feed a cable under the garage door. Perhaps there’s something that works on either side of an external wall?
