Ours is Pastel Orange. On my monitor that bottom right one (in front of the Carmine? red) definitely looks orange.

My money is on Signal or Bahama, but I guess there's no way to resolve that bet without trespassing!

Now that's what I call a road course!

Sort of like last Saturday when I took the shortcut home from the dentist...

Interesting, my freeze date (and all the other dates) moved up by 13 days from 8/28 to 8/15 ... first time I've ever seen that happen.
Usually freeze dates are pretty much set in stone and the subsequent dates can fluctuate.
Not complaining.

Mine should be just about built but Porsche is showing a 2 month window for delivery. Dealer is telling me late August/September and the online system says it could be November.

Was supposed to start production 7/7. Actually started today 7/15. Not much slippage since getting the allocation back in Feb

Mine also started 8 days late, but finished exactly on time that was predicted via PSVMS when I ordered -- delivery also on time.

Congrats!

Is Porsche still providing pics of your car during the build process as well as completion? My car is now built but I can't find the pics on the web or app.

Since the production transition to Osnabruck, Porsche does not provide production photos. Osnabruck is primarily a Volkswagen facility and the 718 production is temporary, so I'm sure Porsche didn't see it worth the investment. At least the 718 still has TYD production/delivery tracking though... The Macan EV lacks both TYD tracking and photos.

No, that ended when they moved to Osnabrucke

An update on this: looks like A-pillars should be race-tex (even on non-WP cars) and my SA just let me know Porsche is sending them from Germany to replace the plastic ones I have.
