Month two with the Porsche Taycan GTS tests the bonds of friendship
Like a lot of cars, the Porsche Taycan has suffered from the supply problems that have engulfed the industry. Fortunately, Porsche is now back on track with its procurement processes, so if you order a regular production model direct from a Porsche dealer today, it should be with you in around four to six months.
But if my friend Adam’s experience is anything to go, you need to be wary of how you go about ordering. He went down the lease route – not unusual for a company-car man – and opted for a firm called Select Car Leasing . That was back in early 2022 and he was advised it would be a year’s wait. Only… he is still sans Taycan. The date has now slipped to November 2023 and there has been talk of the price going up, although this never came to pass.
The firm told me that it’s ‘extremely sorry’ and that Adam’s experience ‘must be considered against the backdrop of once-in-a-generation supply issues’. Adam is getting quite cross about it all. To cheer him up, I went round to show off my Taycan and explain how brilliant it is. I even let him sit in it, to experience the excellent cabin. And then I drove off. Adam is now even more angry.
