Love this car so far. I traded in my '23 Taycan GTS and so far no regrets.
Ordered in February, built in March, sat in Emden for a month until finally arriving at the Port of Baltimore on May 7. My SA explained that because this was a customer-order placed before tariffs went into effect, it was cleared to ship by Porsche and they paid for the tariff costs, while I just paid for the original MSRP. Pretty happy about this good fortune because I was prepared to walk away if a tariff had been passed on to me.

and after losing the tire lottery 2 years in a row (with taycan and 911), it's 3rd time that was the charm and I finally won the tire lottery
Car has been great out of the box so far. I've been reading way too many threads here and was preparing myself for the worst. Electronic stuff are working as expected, Apple Carplay and homelink paired easily, charge doors seem to be responsive and opening with a light tap as expected, haven't noticed any odd rattles or sounds yet, seats feel great, steering feels great, and all the doors seem to be closing normally without having to shut them with more force, which I did notice to be a problem on an example that I took for a test-drive a few months ago, and some here have been experiencing in their cars as well. I still wished these cars were equipped with soft-close but not a big deal. Road noise isn't as bad as I expected, and it's actually quite good, though it definitely has more tire noise being transmitted to the cabin over certain surfaces compared to my Taycan. Oh, and it's definitely not as sexy as my former Taycan but you can't win it all. Love the frozen blue on this car though.
I'm sure some issues and gripes I'll have with the car will eventually arise, but for now I'm absolutely satisfied with my initial experience.
