If the stop order is lifted then you can change the config up until the freeze date. However my SA told me that Porsche North America told him that there was zero chance of getting LWCB on my May build with a March lock in. I'm keeping an eye on the forums to see if it lifts but I'm not hoping too much.

I hear you but honestly I feel the chance is very low due to the whole supply chain situation. Yes I meant the order entering date. If you had entered the order before 11/21, you would be fine although you made some changes after that.

Myself and other member submitted the order before that stop date, we still have the bucket seat for our production date in April.

Finger crossed for everyone, the bucket seat is very important option for us.

I'd say virtually zero, especially in your timeframe.

My understanding is that all available LWBS for the rest of the production year will go to the GT3 RS, GT4 RS, and Dakar (for which they are standard).

Default Stop Sale Document

I have been told PTS, Bucket Seats, and Ceramic Brakes are all on order stop effective November 2022, with possibility of reopening in March 2023, however no guarantees. Mods - Maybe change the title of the thread to "PTS, Ceramic Brakes, Bucket Seats Order Stop".

@BillBoss Is there a reason why the Spyder column is all greyed out?

My guess is this does not pertain to the spyder? Really no idea. I was just given this document regarding the GT4.

The same stop sale applies to the Spyder as well.

I received my allocation and locked my order in November 2022, in a small timeframe when Buckets were made available again. My freeze date is early march, with build in April. Is there a chance that my build stays as it is for the production?

As long as your build sheet still has that, you will be fine. I’m at same situation and confirmed with PCNA and my SA for the same concern. My order was entered with bucket and PCCB on 11/16, just right before the bucket stopped sales on 11/18.

I don't lock until March but my order was entered before the stop. My SA has also confirmed nothing has been kicked back (yet).

Same for me, I checked with him but nothing has been kicked back yet. However, he told me he has never had such a situation, where there was an on-hold, then a narrow availability, followed by another period of on-hold. According to him, it could happen that they get pushed back at the freeze date.

Everything is possible now and day. However, it’s very similar situation back in 2016 GT4 that had the stop sale for the bucket. As long as the order was entered with bucket before the date, then they had the bucket even the build date was out.

Nothing 100% until the car produced with the bucket. I have checked with the multiple sources including PCNA for this huge concern. Finger crossed!

Maybe. Maybe not.

Example: My original order had PDLS+ It was submitted, accepted, etc. When PDLS became NLA, they just dropped it from the build, went back to the standard headlights, and had the dealer notify me... Now it worked out ok in the end as Porsche came up with the revised PDLS (not plus) version and I was able to add LED's back on my car, but the point is Porsche can and will drop options from your build if need be...

I wanted to add those revised PDLS lights to my car when they became available but my SA said don't do anything with the build because you have PTS approved and you don't want risk PTS being taken away by changing headlights so I kept the base headlights.
