My current build.
Told I am 1st in line for an Oct. Allocation. So guessing November lock, March ish delivery. Am I way off? My build: http://www.porsche-code.com/PNWYN8T4
Comments welcome. I think, I am almost done making changes. LOL The wait will be painful.
In California this week, managed to grab a Mustang at Hertz. Did a run up to the Lick Observatory near Santa Clara. Very fun but wish I had my CGTS. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/37.3...7038!3e0?hl=en

It does seem that some dealers will have diff timelines, some users in here were lucky that their allocation was later, and build earlier. 7-8 months is what I would consider the current turn around. Peak delays were a year or more with the con rods. Ymmv

I would agree with other users to expect a longer turn around. My allocation came in April, my build locked in July and started assembly the first week in September. It will usually be a couple months between build allocation, lock, and then creation.

Dealers generally receive allocations 2-5 months from build date. The allocation date is the build date.
Once built variable is boat timing and transport from port.
Get an allocation and worry about the rest later.

Normal time between lock and build is roughly two weeks unless PTS, or in your case August holiday break.

I was theorizing in the 992 thread just now...that we could possibly see the SFL Conductor show up in Houston a bit before the 18th. It will of course depend on the busyness of the dock(s) and the amount of cars to unload. But the Siem Cicero took 19 days from Emden, to Davisville, to Houston. Bishu Highway took about 13 days from Emden to Halixfax, and is now in Davisville. and is slated to arrive into Houston in a week, again, approx 19 days, or a week from now.
My timeline/pattern is that the ships left on the 10th, 17th, and 24th, and arrive the 29th, 6th and possibly 13th? I realize that Jax can throw this out a bit, but even then, I wouldn't expect it to add 5-6 days like the ships plan states of the 18th. I'm hoping for an arrival on the 14/15th and then hopefully transport a week or so from Houston to my location in MN. I think it will be easier to nail down the timeline if/when it arrives to Davisillve, Baltimore in less than a week.

My wife cringes at a green car as well. Until I show her some of the awesome greens that are out there. That Brewster Green BGTS from a few years ago was off the hook. The lighter greens do take some getting used to and I'm pretty sure I couldn't own one. But I sure do like looking at them.

Friend, my build is locking in about one week and I am going back and forth between carmine red and shark blue. I started with chalk, had a stint with python green, and considered lava orange, aventurine green and even frozen berry metallic. You can tell it's my first Porsche purchase. Perhaps you will go through the same process. I was able to find an allocation at the end of July and my lock date took about 2 months...and estimated delivery in December. From reading from other members here, that October allocation may not be guaranteed and the timeline has gotten worse, but I'm not sure.
As for your build, I think you definitely want to consider the GTS Interior package as your current build essentially has all of the components separately. The GTS Interior package (priced at $2160 + $3,690 = $5850) includes extended deviated stitching with chalk being an option - the other being carmine red which would match your interior, the carbon fiber trim, seat belts, GTS on the headrests, and red tachometer. My guess is that you really don't want the race-tex but I feel it matches well with the sports car concept of the GTS as it's not a luxury car. I'd also consider going 2-way instead of the 18-way as the seats will be the same just without all the extraneous adjustments. It's a pretty hefty upgrade but some will say they are critical. For the exterior, I like the subtle look of the satin black Porsche logo. I'd also get rid of the smartphone compartment since I doubt the "optimized reception and batter-savings" will be worth $560. The car comes with Apple Carplay already. A lot of these are personal choices but you asked for feedback! I had an initial build similar to yours and after a lot of reading, I ended up with these changes. Hope it helps.

Then call Porsche and tell them you haven't gotten your "Track Your Dream" email yet. They should be able to open a ticket for you. I did this and got the email the next day.
