Found out today that mine didn’t make a ship. Sitting at port in Germany along with 3 other sold cars. Updated date is 05JUN from 15MAY. Getting closer to reality!

Having said that, if your customers are not comfortable with their June deliveries and would like to cancel their deliveries (and have their car shipped home to Canada) or postpone their delivery to later in the summer/fall, we can do so! We remain extremely flexible during this time, so please let me know what your customers are thinking

The vehicle was V260 March 20th and was supposed to be V300 April 10th obviously with the shutdown that did not happen. My ED was scheduled for June 4th and still has not been cancelled, I guess we shall see in the coming weeks what will happen.
Thank you very much for sharing this. I have a September ED target and was fairly confident it would be pushed, but this gives me some hope.

I ordered the white metallic with the aurum rims, but I definitely don't like the look of that orange side reflector I thought that was only for the U.S? I also tried to add an option after I was locked but they wouldn't let me either, no worries next one lol.

Still early in the day here, but I plan to start poking around before noon.
I heard back late yesterday from the sales manager, they are still operating but at minimum capacity, he checked my order and said that nothing had changed (V260 was March 20) but promised to let me know when things change. I talked to my buddy with the GT4 and appearently it hasn't left Germany yet either, timing is everything!

I guess the next milestone of sorts is tomorrow and the possibility of the Porsche factory re-opening, fingers crossed.

With a previous exit from Halifax of May 8th for mine, I suspect the delay will be same for delivery as yours...

I would ask for a screen shot from PSVMS. I find it hard to believe your dealer delivery date has not changed.

I did specifically asked for a screen shot but didn't get it, not sure why, all he said was "there isn't anything that has been updated in the system".

@Westcoast

I have a screenshot for mine. Is your V260 expected for Mar 20 (similar to me)? The actual V260 date is empty though....

I believe that white GT4 is from North Toronto Porsche. Another picture of that car is posted in facebook. Not sure who the owner is though.

Those orange side markers were ordered, standard should be the clear ones.

Actually I believe the NA GT4/Spyders comes standard with the orange side markers due to our laws and regulations. If you want clear side markers, you need to order them yourself and install afterwards.

Still waiting to hear back from my dealer if it's been delayed further than June 25th...I was V260 March 17th.
