It’s not just Macan’s. I put a deposit down on a Cayenne GTS at the start of January and the latest is that I might get it late October. My theory is that they’re trying to get their CO2 emissions down so if they can churn out Taycans and more efficient other models then the output of all their vehicles falls and they can slap themselves on the back. It could of course be complete crap, but I’ve seen dozens of 21 Taycans but not a whole lot of 21 on anything else.

My local dealer has had a lot of Taycan orders cancelled with no timescales for rescheduling, they have had to phone customers who’ve paid deposits to tell them they have no idea when the cars will be ready so I’m not sure it’s that

I recently had my 2017 Macan GTS stolen from the drive. Yeah, it sucks.
Taken a while to get the insurance sorted, and have finally felt able to go to the local OPC to put a deposit on a new dream build Gen 3 GTS in Papaya (www.porsche-code.com/PNZSZ444) - only to be told the lead time is now 2023!
Have called around other dealers in the region and been told the same, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Otherwise I either keep my powder dry for the next 15 - 18 months, or look for an alternative, neither of which has much appeal.
I'm trying to convince myself that if / when it finally comes it will be worth the wait...

Barmcake,

really sorry to hear about your loss.

May I ask how it was taken if you know? Did it have keyless entry?

:-(

Ps I've just put a curse on the thieves on your behalf.

Hey Nelladrahcir

Taken the old fashioned way I'm afraid - we'd been away a couple of days & the toe-rags bust in the back through the patio doors and stole both sets of keys. Bad for us, but hopefully reassuring for anyone with the keyless system.
Local police were surprised - apparently this was the first Porsche stolen in the county this year. Normally the scum go for Rangeys, BMWs, Audis & VWs. They reckon it was taken to order, especially since they must have brought false plates as it didn't trigger any ANPR.

Has any contributor on here gone quiet recently about wanting a GTS? :?

One thing is for sure though, I'll never be leaving car and keys together "unattended" although I've always kept door and 'primary' car key on the same ring so I can't go anywhere leaving one behind. Already fitted Ultion locks on every entrance, even having to have a new back door to enable it.

Bastards!
I'm thinking punji traps on the seats when unattended?

Have to keep any eye out for it on ebay/autotrader given how rare the model is it will turn up quite quickly I should think.

Phone around some dealers and see if any Gen2 Turbos have come through unclaimed.
Saves yourself the wait.

Just looked up Ultion locks - one person responded to a video on YouTube, none too favourably: He said they were notoriously easy to pick. Now I'm worried - I've got a similar lock fitted to my back door.
