That's some good luck! Mine has been in production since 10/04 and was originally due to complete 10/14, but the date jumped back to 11/04 last week. My car is similar to yours, lots of extended leather, lwbs, and pccb. Would love to know what the hold up is, but soon enough all the delays will be forgotten.
Sadly like you, my car will arrive in winter and go straight into storage. This will be my 3rd time around with a Porsche arriving in winter. I can say, it does get easier.. haha.

My 2022 Spyder arrived at the port on 10/17 and was estimated to be ready for purchase on 10/28. Now was pushed back till 11/18, is this what other have experienced recently?
2023 model year cars were delivered and still waiting for a 2022, doesn't feel right. The car has Bose optioned if that matters.

My dealer has some cars sitting in port because of Bose amplifiers. They can’t be delivered as certain mandated warning tones are through the PCM/sound system…
Haulage from port to dealer is contracted carrier…most at my dealer is Reliable. Possible it’s that simple, though that does seem to be awhile.

What does your dealer say? They generally know why there is a delay.

so the dealer is who arranges shipping from the port to the dealer?
I guess the car will be ready when it’s ready, nothing I can do. Just that I am so close, very inpatient now.
Never drove one and hope it is much better than my 997 Carrera S convertible.

I spoke with the dealer a few times and they never had anything extra to say other than what I see on the Porsche app.

Suspect if your car needed something they’d know and communicate that to you. My dealer knows every car of theirs at port awaiting Bose amps.
Any good luck, hope it’s sooner rather than later.

Car arrived at Port of Houston 10/18/22.
Picked it up at Porsche South Austin 10/22/22.
Dealer thoughtfully covered the usual areas in Track Wrap so I could get it home to my guy to do the clear bra.

FYI, Violet Ace (Baltimore) passengers: Violet Ace left Halifax, NS about an hour ago, ETA Baltimore, 1am Tuesday 10/25. Or 5am depending on which tracking site you believe. Or I misinterpreted UTC-4.
Maybe Springfield, IL by the end of the week?! And maybe there is some hope we can drive our new GB CGTS 4.0 before the snow flies. But first PPF/Ceramic coating first....

Help us decide between Bi-Xenon and LEDs
Hi Everyone, been lurking here for awhile now. Very excited to be joining this waiting room soon with a 23MY GT4 scheduled for production on Nov 18. Our Freeze point date is Nov 3rd. We just looked on the configurator and noticed that a new lighting option has been added: "LED Headlights incl. Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)" versus what we could only select at the time about 3 weeks ago: "Bi-Xenon™ Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)"
It was a big blow losing the PDLS+ LEDs with the 23MY but what are ya gonna do. Which is the best option? The PDLS LEDs or the PDLS Bi-Xenons.
