Do you think the production pictures they post of your car on TYD could be generic? I got some pictures today and the car has black headlamp washer covers but I ordered mine to be painted shark blue
Yes. It even says something to that effect on the site.
My suggestion is to do what I did: go to the What Did You Buy Your 718 Today forum, spend pretty much all day there, and start buying goodies for your future car. Some things, like the hugely important cup holders, are taking me a long, long time to sort out, and it makes me appreciate the extra-long delays in building my car. "This car is coming at me too fast!" I tell myself.
Thankfully I have a 981 Spyder to help pass the time but I probably need to log off this site for a few months.
yea same here. Dates are all over the place. Will ask SA to check back in two weeks.
Hey Mousejunior,
I'm wondering when you put in your order, I placed my order at DP here in Toronto, on Oct 31 2021 and I haven't received an allocation yet, so since you also seem to be in the T., I was just wanting to know how long you had to wait, if at all?

It's clear they often build the car on the line with default parts and then come back and swap them out for the special order parts later. On your production line timeline you'll normally see a day for the options change-out at the end of the production run. That's the V280 "CT" step you'll see sometimes - which stands for Custom Tailoring.

Thanks!
I placed my order in April 2021 got the allocation in Nov so roughly 7 months before you will get an allocation
Thanks for the info! My SA has never shared any of that official timeline info with me so I guess I'll just assume that the CT step happened for my car... I've just been tracking it myself on TYD, which I know can be accurate at times. I wasn't even sure if it had actually been built yet since I keep seeing people posting about long delays popping up recently. I think I can confidently believe it has been built now though because I got an email about it from Porsche and the website also gives me a VIN number!
Well after reading a few mentioning recent delays, I was shocked to wake up to my Stage 2 into production email this morning from Porsche. The only change to my dates was the Vehicle Fixed moving one week later compared to my original dates. However, everything else still matches up and hopefully this is a good sign towards mid April delivery although I guess lots could still change.

Your SA looks at a report like the one shown by Amochosto in post 3380 just above. Most SA's will print those out or screenshot them for you if you ask.

Good to know. I will reach out to my SA and try to get it!
