Your GT4 went v300 (vehicle complete) on June 30?? I thought I read here on RL that '22s started on July 2.
I guess this means that '22 production must have started around June 25th and your GT4 should be one of the very first.
FWIW, I've also been told by my SA that '22's may not be not be released for sale until October due to EPA certification.

Can't comment on the 2022 EPA statement other than to say my SA sees no impediment to delivering my car to me in the next couple of weeks, but that's here in Canada, so the EPA issue may be US-specific.

Lol!!! Gotcha! Well it could be anything. One more here in the US: it seems that there may be a delay delivering 2022 cars due to carbon emission certifications, so everyone’s 2022 car may be held up until October.

Strange update on my build. Curious if anyone else has seen this. My GT4 went V300 6/30. Since then, everything has been ahead of schedule and it boarded a boat on 7/19 to San Diego. Arrival and exit date in SD is also improved by a couple of weeks from 8/27 to 8/13. So the car should arrive at the dealership earlier too, no? Apparently not, Dealer Inventory date moved OUT *3 weeks* from 9/10 to 10/1.
Is there a CARB cert delay on '22s? This is what my SA suggested, but it seemed like just speculation. Or maybe this is related to rail shipping logistics?

Every MY gets a new cert.
MY21 for 992s took around 5 months and for 718s took a couple.
If you live in one of the 12 Carb states, add couple of weeks.
Cars sit in port until certified.
This is very common to happen.

Dealer Inventory date on new MY cars is almost always tied to EPA Cert.

So I was not happy my dates were pushed back until after the August break, but now I am thinking it’s better not to have the car sitting at port for months. Maybe I’ll make another change to push it back further, lol.

My GT4’s Dealer Inventory date was also moved back, from 9/17 to 10/1. I think CARB certification is the reason.

2022 Spyder Build
Have a model year 2022 Spyder build. Dates as follows:
V200 Order fixed 7/1/2021
V260 Enter Body Shop 7/16/2021
V300 Vehicle Complete 7/23/2021
V331 Entry Port Emden 7/30/2021
V332 Exit Port Emden 8/13/2021
V000 Entry and Exit Davisville 9/3/2021
V900 Dealer Inventory 10/1/2021
Looks like my Spyder will sit at the port for a month? Informed by dealer that they are not allowed to deliver the 2022 model until October 2021.
Debated a while about buckets vs comfy seats, buckets for resale, sofa seats for comfort. Heated seats and heated steering wheel extends the range of seasonal use in the northeast. Also, my wife does not like the buckets. Plan to keep this car as a 3 season driver. So, ordered the sofa heated seats.

It's always difficult to separate fact from fiction. I suspect that the switchover from 2021 to 2022 model year was a moving target. My SA told me way back in April that it was likely going to be a mid-June switchover. My GT4 (MY 2022) is somewhere between the Halifax Autoport and Ontario, having exited the factory 06 July and having arrived in Canada 19 July. So, somewhere late June or early July the switchover actually occurred.
Can't comment on the 2022 EPA statement other than to say my SA sees no impediment to delivering my car to me in the next couple of weeks, but that's here in Canada, so the EPA issue may be US-specific.
