FWIW, my build took a full 3 weeks to complete vs. the 1 week production that was originally scheduled. After reading what others are saying I am simply thankful that it was produced since it has PCCBs which seem to have fallen victim to supply constraints. It also has Pilot Sport Cup 2s which is great to see, as a friend of mine just took delivery of a 992 GT3T (with steel brakes) that came with Goodyear tires . What I can't figure out though is why the vehicle is just sitting in Emden while two Jacksonville, FL bound ships set sail from the port. Perhaps waiting on TPMS? Oh well, at least there isn't a stop sale on them...yet.
Also waiting in Emden, since 04/20, for a Jacksonville bound vessel. No updates other than on TYD where dates keep getting pushed out. Last night the "On Vessel" estimate was pushed to 05/20 and arrival dealer pushed to 06/24. You mention TPMS - is there an issue that you've heard about that needs to be resolved before the GT4's can ship??

My GT4 just rolled in off the truck at the dealership. Next step is PDI and detail.

An acquaintance of mine recently took delivery of a GT3T that sat at the port in Emden for an extended period of time, long enough for him to get the dealer to find out WTF was going on. It turned out to be waiting on tire pressure monitor sensor(s) before it could ship. I am unsure if this same issue is plaguing GT4s as well but it appears something is holding up the shipping process.

Thanks! Standard White. It looks like sometime tomorrow and I can't wait!!! I may need to take a PTO day and put some miles on her. First time with carbon bucket seats. All my previous 718s/Caymans have been with Sport Seats Plus.

GT Silver Metallic, Base (silver) wheels, black calipers.. Most-costly addons are Natural Leather in expresso/cognac 4.1K$, Premium package 3.6K$, PDK 3.7K$, Navigation/PorscheConnect $2.3K.. Based on how happy I am with my 2010 Cayman S...

...with its PDK, new wheels, tires, and big Brembo brakes, I'm gonna LOVE the new one.. Considered ordering the GTS in this Macadamia Brown Metallic, but decided to spend $11K elsewhere.


I'm hoping for receipt by end of 2022.
2022May11--I've got an October allocation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I know right now, other than Porsche North Scottsdale confirmed the 25K$ ADM.. I suppose there's some small chance I'll see it by the end of the year, but it'll probably be 2023...but that's better than nothin'!!!!

Default 718 Spyder Update for Canada?

Does anyone have any info or insight to waiting times for spyders in Canada? I am in ON and placed an order with Pfaff Vaughan at their flagship store. Dealer was confident but as usual cannot confirm if I can get an allocation or not. Anyone recently put in an order within the last 6 months or so, and if so are you still waiting to move past V070?

If TYD is right, production completed 2 days early - just under a week since started. No Premium Package or 18 ways.

For those on Glovis Supreme, looks like it is approximately 150 nm from Lázaro Cárdenas so pretty much on schedule. FYI there is a whole post dedicated to Glovis Supreme over in the 992 forums so most of the status posts are going there.

This is a great step. From this point it took almost 20 days for Glovis Supreme to get through the canal, handle its stop in Ecuador, refuel, and start heading North. Current wait time for the Panama Canal is listed as 7 days. Hopefully you all get through sooner, but do mentally prepare for an annoying wait and a possible schedule slip.
