Awesome news! There were many reports of these being manual even with 18-ways and Porsche reneging on the promise of retrofit. Hope my sofas come with power steering column adjustment as well - important part of the comfort entry function.

Chatting with my SA today. I really feel like I managed to get a Unicorn. MSRP, loaded CGTS with minimal delays, other than the 8-month wait. Can't be more happy. Have to say Porsche North Austin was great, stuck to the original agreement, and delivered an awesome car. I will buy more cars from them, and willingly trade my current cars, even if I get a bit less in return.

I still have another week to wait though. Then on to looping to get miles on it so I can track it in mid June.

Yeah, lucky you. I got my V200 on 2/14 and here I am, hoping for August delivery (was meant to be June initially). Except I was waiting since Sep last year, and with the dealer that gave me the allocation, only since Dec.

The day you see the production photos is when it gets real. Then into the obsessive ship tracking. The anticipation is brutal. Hoping you get your car soon. Mine also slipped a couple months.

Allow me to show you two photos of my GTS that I think look good on them.

Okay, my ship has come in (not too many times in life can you say that literally).
How long does a CGTS need for PDI? I’ve heard it’s just a day.
I’m hoping my car can catch a truck and take the 3-hour drive to my dealer this week!
TYD still thinks my car is on the water and won’t get to me until June 10th.

If it makes you feel any better my original V200 was January with a July delivery. Now it’s a Mid-October delivery. It could be worse

Took a day or so for my car. All depends on anything missing. And a truck. LOL Mine shipped overnight and surprised my SA.

Looks awesome! I have a guards red BGTS with Guards red stitching and seat belts. Went from an early June to mid July deliver.

This looks stunning! Glad i went with the leather dash and the extended stitching.
More pics of the car? I am currently impatiently waiting on a Guards Red BGTS - my first Porsche.

I do wonder, in situations like this when we supposedly started the body shop nearly 5 weeks ago, how much of the car actually exists? Is a partially built car collecting dust somewhere in the corner of the factory, or do they not start anything until all the parts are in house?
My TYD just updated to a scheduled completion date of June 3rd. I think the car definitely started production on April 20th and is mostly complete and waiting for a part. Or perhaps it failed a test and is waiting for a new drivetrain. Who knows at this point... This is frustrating since it needs to ship all the way to Benicia.
