Just got my build photos for my MY23 Spyder. Starting to get real. I know like someone's baby photos that aren't yours, you are like, eh, thats cool but where is mine, well these are mine and its gorgeous. LOL.

Quick question, I didnt see the side shot, was curious on my tires. Where can I find that one or did I get short changed?

https://rennlist.com/forums/718-foru...yd-photos.html - let me know any feedback I can make changes to the guide if it's not easy to follow. If you got a third pic it will be there with a URL to follow. Confirm that I did indeed get my pics but not an extra one- only the two angles you're showing, I didn't get the completed side view either and it seems most folks recently have the same story unfortunately.

But more importantly, those are PDLS+ headlights in those photos. You're 100% sure yours is a MY23 (and you're in the US)???

If so, WTF... but congrats lol! You may still have yet to win the tire lottery, but you def won the headlight lottery.

Regarding the headlights, how does it show in the option list from TYD?

When I click on the configuration in TYD they show as as option like my build sheet. They never got removed like others. I was waiting for them to get removed and I waited 3 weeks in production and was sure they were going to get removed but I finished production and then got the photos and they are there. Super lucky and grateful. Got the headlights and got my PCCB’s, so I am happy. I’ll change tires if I didn’t win that lottery.

Good for you, enjoy those properly lit roads. I'll be upgrading the lamps to 35w or try LED., if I keep the car. Thread to come, eventually.

Evening all,

New member here but would like to add a data point to this thread. My 23 Spyder went into production 9/15 (According to TYD) and was supposed to be complete 9/23. Looks like TYD just updated and now its not due to be complete until 10/21! No idea what’s going on but hope its some weird glitch.

Ash

Completion date went from 9/23 to 10/07, delivery postponed again, now to 11/04
When I got the allocation in, the delivery date was 9/23, so that gives an idea of the delays. I still don't think it's the last delay, the car should be here around turkey day, just in time to retire for winter.

My CP8 date got pushed back to 14/10 from the 23/09 as well.

Can’t wait for production to be complete, partly because I’m starting to get impatient but also the longer it’s in production the greater risk of options being removed due to supply issues! (I’m looking at you PDLS+)

Once your car is lined up for production, I don't think they modify it. At or just before freezing, clearly yes. The way the line works there's very little storage and the car parts are pretty much spoken for at this point. There are some videos about the so called "efficiency" in their lines. It's interesting to watch in the context of recent failures.
