Simply not the same.

PDLS+ (Especially when you see them in base models whilst we can't get them) and LWB make our cars special in their own right, take these away you start to look no different to overpriced base models.

I started my build not knowing what the LWBS were. Having owned a car with them for a year, I think lack of them would be a deal breaker for me. They really elevate the experience.

I don’t understand why they can’t just build more seats…

You really need to stick to your coffee and donut meets and not intrude on real world issues.

It sucks because it may be a dealbreaker for me. I just got the allocation last week and production is in May’23. I believe my lock date is in Mar’23.

Should I still have a hope that the bucket seat will be back by then? I’m wondering if no bucket seat is mainly impacting the current production or the upcoming production in Q1’23.

Since my car is in May production and June/July delivery. Is it possible to have that back like previous PCCB situation?

I'm certainly hoping so. My build is March. That's quite a lot of time for things to change again. Keep hopeful. The seats certainly are a huge attraction to the car. But with that said I don't think the seats define the car. Many people option these with the 18 ways or ever standard seat. Heck Matt F optioned his with the 18 ways and he's a "hard core" auto enthusiasts... I'm going to try not to stress about it and will stay hopeful. I'm going to wager we will see them again.

So if you already submitted your build with bucket seats are you good? Or do you have to resubmit?

UncleDude

if it is anything like the headlights, you don’t have to do anything Porsche will just replace your buckets with the base seats and someone, at some point, will let you know (hopefully not at delivery like that one dude)

Mine is about the same as yours
v200 on 11/21/22
Locks on 1/3/23
Delivery 3/10/23
Mine is still showing buckets on TYD but was going to add the PCCBs on but not sure if they can add anything without the seats being removed

JKen_0115

I’m wondering how previous PCCB shortage was handled. Are you able to wait or push out the delivery date to wait the coming available later time?

it’s hard to believe this seat is in the severe shortage without any electronics component.

Thanks,

I think seats is a bit more critical than headlights.
Full Bucket Seats for me or nothing.

So is this only for march builds on? Are Earlier builds ok?

UncleDude

tell that to the guy who didn’t know his headlights were replaced….. neither is “critical” the car still has seats and lights

poofyo101

agree to disagree

Just got my allocation for a Spyder today, build date May '23. I was told LWB's were not an option so I went with 18 ways. I think this is a special car and the seats don't make or break it for me. I'm going with PDK so some people hate it anyway. Haha. I'm fortunate to have a '16 GT3RS with LWB's so I can get that fix when I want it. This will be my first open top car and I'm excited for the experience with the 4.0 engine howling (with aftermarket exhaust). Everyone has to decide what's important to them.

My SA is on the vocation this week. I have to wait until next Monday. I really hope my allocation for May production still has the bucket seat. My order was submitted on 11/16 and I didn’t get kicked back. Finger crossed!
