The flooding was in southern Germany, and I'm assuming this will then affect cars made at Stuttgart. The EV Macan is being made at Leipzig in Northeastern Germany. Just FWIW, no source just putting together the dots.

July 23 (Reuters) - Porsche AG cut its sales and profit outlook on Tuesday due to an unexpected aluminium alloy supply shortage, sending the German company's shares down 4% to the bottom of Frankfurt's blue-chip index.

Flooding at an unspecified European contractor has hurt supply of aluminium alloy, the luxury sports car maker said, affecting production of all its models and possibly leading to shutdowns for one or more vehicle series.

…
Porsche said the alloy supplier, which it did not name, had declared force majeure in writing, meaning it was unable to meet its contractual obligations due to events outside its control.

…
Bernstein analysts said the flooding occurred at a Swiss supplier, and would lead to the production loss of at least 10,000-17,400 vehicles in the second half of 2024.

At the high end, that figure is equivalent to over 11% of Porsche's first-half deliveries.

…
The company said it was to be expected that the delays in the production and delivery of vehicles would not be fully compensated for in the rest of the year.

Constellium and Novelis shut down for an «indefinite period» after Rhone floods
Between Sierre and Chippis, the aluminum industry was devastated by the flooding of the Rhone on Sunday. This means that a scenario that has been feared for 25 years has come true.

The manager of my AD has just discovered the news by me. He has just told me that he is going to ask directly to the brand to get more info.

I will share with all of you any update.

Update from Porsche:

It seems that they do not expect any delay in the cars already assigned. This means that they probably have sufficient aluminium stocked to meet the demand already agreed upon.

In September will be new updates from Porsche to dealers...

Asked my SA to check my Macan 4 status and everything is still the same (delivery planned for sept 18 to the dealer). He had some info about possible delays for October but, at the moment, only for Taycan.

You folks get a pool online yet to see who can get closest to actually getting their key in hand as relates to their promised delivery? My date is the same as @Diego and we are in different continents, so it seems like it is a big marketing department driven release : /
