Official Waiting Room for 718 Spyder / GT4 / GTS Delivery...
Yes Espresso - Espresso/Cognac is no longer available either. You are getting Aventurine and Espresso - Nice. I have to decide soon - delivery would be June.

Thanks for the feedback. Here is my new config based on your recommendations.

I assume the heated carbon steering is less desirable because of the lesser grip ?

I think July is the end of production - at least for the 4.0 GTS. It will be illegal in the EU due to emissions (from what I read).
1. Seat feels just fine to me. Doesn't feel hard at all
2. The ventilation, at least in the 992, is wonderful.
Don't skip this option

No matter what, it will not be as grippy as leather. I have no idea why/how Porsche got into adding stuff like that into a sports car. Reminds me of my old Lexus (and MY GOD - that wheel was always cold in the winter and burning hot in the summer - I hope I never have to experience that again).
Correct, cutoff was something like Nov 24th for production to finish. Yours might be the last one produced with it. I really wanted that leather!

Few ending slots opening up. For whatever reason, I don't think the Boxster is being made from mid-January until late March. Nobody seems to have a build occurring then.
There was a rumor on that - and it is possibly true, and I didn't want to get ventilated seats on my 992 because of that - but it was going to cost MORE not to have it than to have it. So I got it and

Wow, really nice looking! Do you mind sharing your production start and end date, left Emden date. Also, what amount of PPF you're getting the what full cost you are paying for all that? Congrats!!

Congrats! Love how you went with the buckets in the GTS. Ive been considering the same but decided to just stick with the 2-ways.

I went V200 on an abandoned allocation for a 2021 Spyder on 8/28, car exited production on 9/23 and was sitting in Houston on 10/16
Here is mine. Just my luck, nobody claims to have seen anything quite like this and it just happens to be my first Porsche. For Steps 6 & 7, I got both emails at the same time on January 28th, but look at the dates that's listed lol. Hold onto your butts!

oh no i know, just bad use of terminology on my part. My car entered production beginning of October 2022 and exited production about a few days later just for it to sit at Emden for about a month before hopping on a ship which then took another month and then sat at PECLA for about 3 weeks before i picked it up in Jan.
