MUNICH Reuters - Luxury car maker Porsche AG is attracting huge demand for its Taycan model, causing wait times for the all-electric coupe to stretch to six months, CEO Oliver Blume said on Monday.
In the first half of last year - the original output capacity for the Taycan was 20,000 units - we sold that many in the locality, Blume said during a panel discussion at IAA Mobility show in Munich.
Incoming orders are big - they are good in China too, said Blume, adding that the Volkswagen Group Unit was, like other carmakers, facing chip shortages and more incoming orders than it could meet.
The usual waiting times for a new vehicle were four months, but the extensions have been extended to half a year, he said.
