Tariff anxiety . . .

[Paris92]

Mine is on the Daisy Leader between Bermuda and Cuba, heading for Panama and through the canal. No way it gets to port in LA and clears prior to the supposed April 2nd date of tariff announcements. Lots of anxiety playing beat the clock. Maybe the announcement and/or date of implementation will push. Lets hope so.

Update:

My car went through the Panama Canal yesterday on Daisy Leader. It is now steaming north.

Today my app now shows that the routing for my car has changed. It is no longer going to the port in LA, but it is now showing offloading in San Diego, and then via overland to PECLA.

It looks like Porsche is being proactive as related to the possible tariff situation, and getting as many cars through Customs at the first US port of entry. A good sign.

They don't offer Euro delivery for either the Macan EV or the Taycan. The closest vehicle would be a hybrid Cayenne. I took Euro delivery of an M3 sedan in 2009 and saved enough on the vehicle to pay for a 3 week trip for our family of five. It was an unforgettable experience.

Yep. Reason is the different plugs between Europe and US.

I'm still waiting on confirmation that mine has cleared customs, but in a promising sign, my SA is starting to get serious about working through the financial details of the actual transaction. Hoping to hear today that it's finally on the truck to Dallas. . . Seems like the MyPorsche App is always delayed somewhat on these updates, so maybe it already is?

My app showed the car was still in jville yesterday... And SA called on Monday to say the car might not be delivered until next week .....then viola....it showed up at the dealership this am.

So ...between the SA and the app....there are gaps.

But hey ...gonna take this W

Good luck!

Good news for some of you... sadly, mine hasn't even left Emden yet.

It's starting to really look like a tariff sammich for me... that I'm definitely not planning on eating

Tariff announcement coming this afternoon per the WH press secretary (April 2 date will be the implementation date it appears... not the announcement date.)

25% tariff on all foreign-made cars just announced.

Just read the headlines about it. Need to contact my SA since my boat just docked at San Diego and probably a few days before Benicia. Another week hopefully before delivery? Might have to reject it if this all goes down.

In principle, the price agreed is the price you should pay, what you signed on the dotted lines.

And those who already own these Macans in the US, would be on a roll with less depreciation impact at least

There is no way Porsche is going to eat 25% tariff, they will probably eat like half because otherwise they are going to have very little sales.

Unfortunately my Macan is on a boat that just passed Panama Canal, so unless Trump changes his mind, will be affected by the tariff. I am definitely not going to pay extra and will cancel the order if the price changes.

In my conversation with a southern CA Porsche dealer they stated that after a top management team meeting, they would not honor pricing after the tariffs hit next Tuesday. We will see whether that holds or they back off and honor them for all orders in progress or adopt some sort of compromise position. Maybe Porsche corporate will help out dealers — and therefore customers (publicly or sub Rosa).

I was thinking about upgrading to a Turbo from a 4S, but now? Naaaahhhhhh!!!
