Are there others that have had their PTS Sypder delayed again? I've been pushed from a Feb. 12th build date to April 1st. I hope that's not a joke.

I'll swap you

My build is in April, and have been definitively told no more PTS.

Good grief, I hope not.

I have a VIN and it is in V260 (supposed to be in production) and have had the VIN for almost a week, but no build sheet available yet. While it is delayed, I assume it will hopefully be done this week and heading for the port. Originally it would have been on the ocean somewhere by now...

Heard that production is stopping for the Spyder as they are moving to 718. Some being offered GT4 instead or deposit back.

Wonder what final production volume will be for Spyder

Where did you hear this?

I was told by my SA that my PTS Spyder was delayed a couple of weeks, so instead of delivery end of March, it will be the beginning of April.

Some 718s already built . . . .

You can see them in the foreground in a picture in the thread on PTS Spyder Builds. Posted earlier today.

Wow. If I'm at V260 (and have been for quite a long time), then does that mean I'm at risk for not getting my car?

Mine had a production start date in April and my SA just told me it is now in production. Trying to get more details from him.

It had originally been pushed back from early March when I decided to do ED in late May. I've seen the dates swing back and forth by over a month probably around 4 times now.

Does anyone know when actual Spyder production is due to finish! On a recent factory visit they denied all knowledge of an end date having been decided yet :-/

Before today, I could put my Spyder Porsche (build) code into the Porsche build system and it would still pull up the configurator for the 981 Boxster. Today, I wanted to look at my options and tried to pull it up and received a message that states "Not able to load configuration because specific order type is missing in current knowledge base!" I certainly hope that my friends out there with a build date still get their 981 Spyders!
