However, the salesman discourage me for the GT4 since a very long waiting list. And he promise I can have the GTS 4.0 allocation of Jan 2021 build and car will arrive in March.

So I placed my GTS 4.0 order in 2020 Sept. Back in Jan, dealer told me my allocation is delayed and pushed to a March build and then few weeks later, I was told another delay again and will pushed to May build. I told him, I am really upset and is thinking of talking to another dealer. Then a few days later he called me that they have a May GT4 allocation available so I hop on it.

During end of March, Porsche updated their 2022 configurator and then suddenly memory seat being included for the 18 way option. So I called my salesman and asked for confirmation and also email to Porsche Canada. Both told me it is true. So I made a very tough decision to give up the 2021 allocation and move to 2022 allocation and will be a Jan 2022 build. When I was so exciting then found out that "memory seat" option on GT4 sounds like a mistake for Canadian market. Everywhere in the world didn't have this option so very unlikely Porsche only offer this to Canadian market. So seems like I made a big mistake now! Since my invoice did printed memory seat is included so once my car arrive next spring, I will bug them as much as I can to compensate my extra wait that caused by their misleading info.

When he checked the Porsche tracking system, my order showed no lock date but with a delivery date changed to July 31. He wasn't sure whether that meant that my vehicle was still scheduled for production as originally planned but with a slightly later delivery date or whether my order time frame was being changed to the stop order situation. If anyone else has a lock date in April or May, what have you been able to find out as to whether our orders are being delayed or not? Thanks.

I thought you can make a diminished value claim against the other party since they are at fault?

When you click on the pic, a higher resolution image loads up.

The little car icon is also my exact build, quite neat.
Now this is all such a big tease since I have to wait for a few more months for this conrod fiasco to sort itself out. In the meantime, all I have is this stupid page to look at for possibly 6 months since production until I get the car.. While and on RL. Instead of enjoying my vert in the short Canadian open top season. FWP, I know...

However, I'm not optimistic that's going to resolve the issue. We will see.

Update: Oh and of course he is uninsured. The state's system shows he has insurance but Geico says it lapsed in 2018.

I'm told (and based on experience with other manufacturers, it makes sense) that little moves like this are not unusual and likely have nothing to do with the stop-sale. Mine could be related to the PTS or CXX options I ordered . . . or not.

This app was originally set up for the 911 production line a year or so ago, but has now been expanded to the 718 and Taycan production lines.
