Macan 4S Estimated Delivery Date Pushed Back ~3 Weeks

[porschemacanev4S]

Checked in with my SA this morning to ask about coming in to test drive a 4 or Turbo and to check on my order status. Unfortunately found out that my lock date and estimated delivery date have been pushed back by a few weeks. Original estimated delivery date was 12/23/2024. New estimated delivery date is 01/21/2025. Kind of bummed about this, but it is what is it. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing this with the 4S orders. I am located in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Just checked. Still good for Dec. 6th for me.

Just checked with my SA in So Cal. Original delivery date for my 4S was 12/20. Now it's 12/13.

OP, I wonder if you had the thermal acoustic glass option? From what I've read there are some delays with that option. We had that on our build but took it off when we heard about the delay.

How are you ppl ordering a $100K car without test driving it first? Boggles my mind

Very simple, I need a car, it had to be an EV car and all the other models around don’t fit my needs. Maybe reality will prove I was mad but I think that when you pay 100k for a car you don’t buy only a car but a customer service behind it and for now I’m super satisfied of my SA and my dealer tech service.

In my case, the change of dates does not stop.
Initially it was November 23, then December 6 and later on December 13.

The big change came with the thermal glass issue that delayed my delivery until the end of January. I decided to remove them and the date was updated back to December 6.

Yesterday I was notified that it was delayed again to December 13.

In conclusion, total resignation... I thought these Germans were more serious

Same here. I had my order in for a 4 and then switched to the 4S within a day of it being announced. I did not option the thermal acoustic glass or the powered charge port covers which I’ve read have been causing delays. My SA says that the Macan 4S and 911 GTS are facing delays currently but does not know why. My vehicle is set to exit production on December 1 as of now. Hoping it’s worth the wait.

Test drove the Taycan, the ICE Macan and the Cayenne. All were exceptional experiences and had qualities (like the seats, handling, infotainment system, sound system, road noise, etc. that will be the same or similar) . I have owned an EV for the past 5 years and know what I like and don't like. The Macan customization allows you to config to what you like. Its a reasonable point but test drives only give a part of the story. Aside from sampling other models as above I looked at recall and service quality and talked/hung out at the dealership discussing all manner of concerns. Also talked to a few ICE Macan owners. Also, one important bit of research, i watched all of the prototype reviews (especially from Kyle from "out of spec" reviews) which I pretty reliable sources. All signals were good.

As @Diego said, when you can’t find competitors, and it’s the one that meets your needs: it’s pretty obvious.

This is my problem also: I am not very happy (!) of the totally-unpredictable-(no)-delivery experience, I’m considering canceling /delaying my order, but for what?
Bmw, Mercedes, no competitor, Audi experiences exactly the same issues with Q6 (same platform), Polestar is not in the same league as a company…
Probably a new thread to start on a more generic forum

I putted everything inside….the good news is that I’ll put the plates in 2025 that means….. gaining one year……
