Just got word from my dealer that they received noticed that the 2021 MY GT4/Spyder Port Release is scheduled for December 4th... typical changeover is after the August German summer break... add in transport... roughly equals about 2-3 month MY extension.

Additionally heard due to factory capacity being slowly ramped up, existing allocations will be spread out more to accommodate. They want me to check back after the May 4th reboot to get a better understanding what that means for my build schedule.

Not clear. What is the latest MY 2020 will be built and delivered?
I was told a delivery date of late October. Will that still be a 2020 or 2021?

n4v4nod

That will be a 2020 MY.

My 9/11 delivery build (7/10 build date) was confirmed as 2020 MY by PCNA.

JAhmed

Yup. Also my SA showed me my most recent build status...delivery date further delayed from 07/10 to 07/24. I expect further delay once the wheels start turning May 4th and everything gets sorted.

So if you order in September you’ll get a 2021, right?

n4v4nod

Depends when your build allocation is set for, not when you order.

n4v4nod, can you confirm with your dealer that PDK will be available for the MY 2021?

I have a July lock, November delivery and the dealer has told me that it is currently expected to be a 2020 car, but that it could change, particularly if there are any delays. And I expect there will be delays, so people like me with late year deliveries should probably be prepared to get a 2021 car and have a slightly higher price.

Makes sense because of the delays to keep building 2020 models until later in the year, release 2021 at about years end. Also fair considering that there are a lot of earlier builds that have waited a long time and receiving a 2020 in December just as 2021 models ship will make for bad feelings.

Personally if I can get 5-6 months in my 2020 before a 2021 is released I am reasonably happy.

Archimedes

My SA just notified me that Porsche cancelled my MY 2020 July allocation, moved it to September with an early December delivery, and changed it to MY 2021 car.

Westcoast

dWow, are you good with that? Interesting that they cancelled it, di he say why?

Did he say anything about price increases?

Flacht6MT

Ouch, sorry to hear that. Hopefully they'll move you back up the list when things open up.

Westcoast

Except maybe as he lives in sunny California he would rather get a 2021 model...

Archimedes

I'm fine with it. I don't care about the MY and the actual delivery delay isn't long. Plus, he warned me about this when I signed up for the car.

My understanding is that they cancelled it because of the production shutdown and delays in getting cars built, which is pushing everything back.
