At times the hostility from jealousy is amazingly bad. One reason way back then, not long after the 918 came out, I got all, well most of the owners out of Rennlist to a private group chat.
That's just the way with keyboard warriors...you want come onto these boards to get support and celebrate something like an allocation but like you say...it can get hostile and takes away from the experience. That's great to have a separate group like you did just owners of one model who already has that in a group...

Wait....you have a Sept allocation? 2023 model year? I was under the impression those were not out yet...

A PO is not an allocation... Unless you have received an email with a track my dream link you do not have an allocation yet.

My local dealer offered me one of its allocations. You can be technically correct but it's still semantics.

Does anyone knows if the FAL on the GT4RS is like the GT3 stores in memory GPS activated?

good question, would like to know as well. Does the FAL work in multiple locations on the gt3? That would be really neat if it did like local gas stations, malls and home

I think what Mavzyx was trying to say is that you can configure a car, submit an on-demand order and have a commitment with the dealer, but the dealer still doesn't have the actual allocation.
I did exactly that with my dealer and it worked out to a 2022 June allocation, but we were in limbo until late
December.
You are the first one I have heard of that has an actual allocation into the second half of 2022. Unless they move the model cutoff (could happen) it should be a 2023 model.
The PTS issue with any 2022 is that they require several months in advanced to know about it, according to the configurator 6 months.
So if you add PTS now to a "2022" model year allocation it wont meet those 6 months.
My car is PTS and so far it's still OK and was confirmed by PAG....we added PTS early December into the on-demand order.

Thank you for this clarifying detail on the PTS. Based on your information, I think a better description for the readers is that the 2022 'order bank' for PTS is closed. 'Stop Sale' is a whole other nasty situation.
...and as a guy who has a couple PTS cars ordered...including one at the Emden port...my heart sunk when I read 'stop sale'. I'll also share with this forum if learn of trouble when I discuss with my dealer next week.

The way my SA explained it was a "stop" on all PTS for sportscars. Didn't intend for the "stop sale" to create heart palpitations, as if it was the entire car. The PCCB "stop sale" referred to an option, just like PTS is.

EDIT: "Order Stop" was the exact term!

As for the PCCB's. I'm wondering if they had already accounted for the orders that has already made it in but not in production until May....hope they have stock for those or maybe i'll find out when mine goes into production in May...
