Thanks!
There's a manual one that is about 8 hours away from you. That's about 5 hours closer than anything I've found from MN

2021 MYs the 992 switched before August break, the 982s were after.

We know the 992s will go MY22 before break, unclear if 982s will follow and have a shortened 2021 build.

People on here have posted 2021 June and July allocations so suspect it’ll be after break.

OK. But that doesn’t change the fact that for the 2020 models, the last orders locked late June 2020, and were delivered in late September and early October.

Why do a surprising number of people on here think that schedule would be dramatically different for 2021 models?

2020 doesn't count though for reference as the factory was shut down for a couple months screwing up everything.

because for 2021 MY the factory was open the full year and for 2020 it wasn't and had a slow ramp up for reopening which screwed everything up schedule wise on multiple levels... suppliers to delivery.

They may be caught up in the chip shortage. Some chip makers have 60 week lead times.

Yes, of course...but the question was in context of changing MY22 production to Jun/Jul.

While many have reported MY21 Jun/Jul allocations...others are reporting MY22 982 begins in Jun/Jul.

Guess we’ll find out soon...
