Model Year '23 EPA certification has already happened for the entire 718 family so that's one less thing to worry about.

Those are great cars, and you have a few extra comforts and far better color choices.
I was offered a MY22 BGTS allocation about 2 weeks before the Spyder. I was really torn, but I love convertibles and track cars so I decided to wait for the Spyder. Mine is a MY23, I believe it should be in the first batch.

SA says 10/7 instead of 10/14 for delivery, but I have my doubts. The whole EPA debacle tends to happen with new MY, on top of everything else.

What do you guys think of this combo?
After having a black MX-5 ND2 and a white Giulia QV (best car ever made in my opinion) I swore my next car won't be a boring color, but I think this might be a bit too interesting.

The wheels and body go together great but that color top does not go with the python green.

Would you go brown or simply black?

Agree. We all see colour differently, but I think most would see that a pretty bad clash of colours

Getting off the boat in Benicia today. It will be interesting to see how long it takes to get through the port and make its way to the dealer in Portland, OR. The Taycan Cross Turismo took 7 months, but that what a whole thing. I'm hoping for 1 week this time (according to TyD).

Black. Brown could probably go well with a more subdued green but not a bright green like Python.

Charlotte. Both were unclaimed inbound spyders from out of state dealers. I expected ADM especially with jumping the line ,which is
why I'm surprised to see some are getting new builds without. Didnt think that was a possibility.

My GT4 build froze September 1, which I saw on TYD yesterday. Just checked TYD again and saw that I "unfroze" with a new freeze date of September 5. Production dates are unchanged. Seems odd. Happen to anyone else?

Freeze dates can and will change. The real date you want to lock in is V250, Vehicle Fixed. That’s when your production dates are more or less locked in.

I hit v250 on 8/26, at which point (if I recall correctly), TYD said my vehicle is scheduled for production. Not that I want to, but it sounds like I could make changes to my build now if I felt so inclined?

Nope. You’re locked in.

Interesting. So what exactly is the freeze date on TYD then? Per TYD, "Before this date, vehicle preferences and refinements may still be adjusted. After this date, your unique fusion will be set in stone and prepared for creation."

Color me confused.
