Dealer called me on Friday saying they had a Boxster GTS available for me if i wanted it. I am now status V200! The wait begins!

Any updates on your order? Did it finish production on March 1st?

Haha... no. A day after I posted, it went to 3/7 but then it went to 3/6 on Thursday and Joey asked me for my manual signature for the Euro Delivery documents. Thus I feel somewhat more confident it will be completed this week.
My 981 GT4 was also a March build (although a bit later), so I guess it follows a pattern for me.

There are a lot of reasons why a car is "stuck" at the arrival port. Can range from too many cars at the port to get to process your car, over arrival work and any Porsche recalls applied at port, to fixing issues that may have occurred during the transportation to just being a logistic issue in getting a spot on a truck car carrier that drives to your local Porsche dealer. Even that wait can take a few weeks, especially if combined with the other aspects.

delays and smoking package
I haven't read the manuals but one thing I did not think about was that smoking package allows you to connect the Porsche charger without going directly to the battery.

My 24 BGTS was completed in November but just delivered on the March 4...there were a few Kerfuffles along the way but it was definitely worth the wait.

In another note, charging via the cigarette lighter is a PITA. I fought with it for two years, even when it did work, a few weeks later it would disconnect (on my 992). I’ve since hardwired

Functionality or PCM must be different, very few reports of that in the 718.
Those that report problems typically note they’re using the Porsche branded Ctek.
I have a regular Ctek and never had a connection issue in 3.5 years and 17000 miles.

You know i thought that after having to wait 8 months for my GT4, this measly 5 month wait for my BGTS would be nothing and i'd just not think about the car and then POOF it would be time for delivery!
