How accurate is Porsche's Order / Delivery Tracking estimates?

[ColdCase]

So strange! I put a calendar reminder about the freeze date so I wouldn't forget. Then a week before the freeze date my SA reached out and reminded me it was last call for any changes. You can ping your SA and they will provide the boat name and the VIN (which I requested so I could check insurance costs).

Be careful with that. If you want to make a change, don't procrastinate. Just do it. Porsche may move up the freeze date at the last minute while you are not looking. The dates are just a guess until it actually happens.

In mid November, my SA said the freeze date was scheduled for 2 December. I started tracking status with TYD and that date started out 1 December, moved ahead a week then back 6 days and then settled in on 2 December as the SA predicted. (If you are cutting it close, there may also be time zone differences to watch out for). I managed to add an option after I thought I missed it. The SA says the predicted dates appear to jump around quite a bit before settling down.

He gave me the VIN but I have no idea which boat the car is on.

I haven't requested insurance quotes yet, every company that I looked at seems to want you to give up contact information to see the actual quote rather than just telling you "it's this much for that car if you live there." I have no desire to wind up on a bunch of mailing lists before I even become a customer of the insurance companies.

totally off-topic to this forum, but i am big on privacy too.

i used temp emails (if u have apple icloud+ subscription, there's a feature called HideMyEmail that generates email addresses that forward to your main email) + Google voice for phone for any type of business where i don't want them to have my info after the fact.

With the car purchase + insurance quotes, everything was done with temp emails and phone numbers. i already deactivated my dealership email cause i know those scammers are gonna spam me with newsletters soon. and once i finished my auto insurance quote search, deactivated that too so i wouldn't get those "Don't forget to finish your quote!" emails.

We ordered our 4S in Oct and it keeps getting pushed out, now showing reaching dlr inventory mid Feb to mid April. Just curious from others experience do the estimates ever come close or should I just stop asking for updates and focus on something else?

im in the UK, and am ordering via a salary sacrifice provider, so not direct with Porsche myself. However the order was placed in September and we have been toing and doing with spec changes etc including my wife insisting post test drive on 28/10/24 that she wanted the racetex GT steering wheel.
Whilst we have settled the spec (triple checked and checked again) we have been advised if a freeze date of 13/01/25 and likely UK delivery in mid February. Whilst that’s great I will probably defer registration and collection until Saturday 01/03/25 as we can then get a new 25 year registration plate - for non uk readers the registration numbers change in March and September each year, March will be 25 and next September will be 75, so getting a February delivery would require having a 74 plate which isn’t desirable for many reasons.
From what I have seen the average build is approx one month from freeze date so the rest of the timeframe will be transport and customs related - thankfully we are no too far from Germany!
